Hello everyone,
Today I registered me here at this very nice website.
I really like the things that are possible with the Arduino!!
I already ask a few things about Nokia LCD, but I also want to know if there is someone who has worked with the FBUS from a Nokia phone. Maybe there are libraries for easily sending/receiving a SMS with the Arduino...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!!
With kind regards,
Atmoz (from the Netherlands)
Very nice thing, this Arduino gadget 
If possible, use a SonyEricsson phone instead. They have serial cables, and a simple Hayes-style AT interface for all communication with the phone. I.e. very easy to interface.

Thanks for the inpunt ZingBerra, but the "problem" is that I have +/- 40 pieces of Nokia3310 overhere...
So if possible, I want to use them in my future projects...

Does anyone know what hardware I can use to communicate between the Nokia 3310 and the Arduino?
I've tested a lot of hardware setups, but none of them work!
In software it seems I have to send 128 times 'U' or 0x55 in HEX. This is is to synchronize the UART in the phone with the microcontroller. Then for testing I send
1E 00 0C D1 00 07 00 01 00 03 00 01 60 00 72 D5
This sample frame is used to get the hardware and software version from a Nokia phone. When the hardware is good, the Nokia 3310 should reply back with some info. But nothing happens...
Maybe funny to tell: Yesterday I've worked/tested on this from 08:00 in the morning till 23:00 in the evening :
and NO progress 
With Nokia 3310 FBUS cable it doesn't work, but also without FBUS cable, and with direct soldered cables into the phone it doesn't work. Because the Nokia 3310 data (FBUS) cable inverts the signal I use 2 transistors between Arduino and phone to also invert the signal. A picture of the setup:
To be complete, here the code what I used in the Arduino:
// ASCII Table
// by Nicholas Zambetti <http://www.zambetti.com>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
// wait for the long string to be sent
delay(100);
}
int number = 0; // first visible character '!' is #33
int var = 0;
int var2 = 0;
int incomingByte = 0;
void loop()
{
while(var < 128){
Serial.print(0x55, HEX);
//delay(10);
var++;
}
while(var2 < 1){
// 1E 00 0C D1 00 07 00 01 00 03 00 01 60 00 72 D5
delay(1000);
//Serial.print("1E0CD10701030160072D5");
Serial.print(0x1E, HEX); //1E
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x0C, HEX); //0C
Serial.print(0xD1, HEX); //D1
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x07, HEX); //07
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x01, HEX); //01
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x03, HEX); //03
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x01, HEX); //01
Serial.print(0x60, HEX); //60
Serial.print(0x00, HEX); //00
Serial.print(0x72, HEX); //72
Serial.print(0xD5, HEX); //D5
//Serial.println(0); //0
//delay(1000);
var2++;
}
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the incoming byte:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
// say what you got:
//Serial.print("I received: ");
Serial.print(incomingByte, HEX);
}
}
I someone can help me would be VERY great!!
Thanks in advance,

If you look at this website: http://www.embedtronics.com/nokia/fbus.html
And then by section "The F-Bus Protocol and Commands"
Is my code then correct?
I first send 128 times 0x55 and then the code to get the HW/SW version of the phone...
But I get no response from the phone...
Someone? :-[
I have no direct experience with interfacing to that phone but you could try adding a 100 microsecond delay after each send. The UART buffer is only 64 bytes long so its possible that half of those 0x55 characters are getting lost.
I assume you have checked the logic levels are correct and you have set DTR and cleared RTS.
I do have a few of these phones lying around doing nothing so would be interested to hear how you get on.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the answer mem!

Do you mean 100m uSec. between each 0x55?
And also between the get HW/SW version command?

I don't use DTR and RTS (picture above). So there shouldn't be a problem.
Yes, you say it, I also have (a lot) Nokia 3310's lying around here...
It would be nice to make something nice with it ;D
Try sending the delay between each of the 0x55 bytes. My guess is that only about half of your 128 bytes are actually being sent, the rest are lost through buffer overflow. That's just a guess but its worth a try. You don't want any delay on the receive side.
If I remember correctly FBUS is 3.3V so you may have to do some level-shifting.

WEll i have made the cable for fbus using the schematics now when i m sending the code it it is not sending me the right message. I am using Vb as the language for send the data using MsComm. I have initialized it using those 128 u's and all as well.
My Message
"1E 00 0C D1 00 07 00 01 00 03 00 01 60 00 72 D5"
Result that i am getting
1E 00 00 D1 CF
1E 00 00 01 00 56 30 2E 31 31 2D 32 30 0A 48 2D 0A 63 20 4D 2E 01 3C
It is not the same one as mention in tutorial embetronics
http://www.embedtronics.com/nokia/fbus.html#part1
1E 0C 00 7F 00 02 D1 00 CF 71
1E 0C 00 D2 00 26 01 00 00 03 56 20 30 34 2E 34 35 0A 32 31 2D 30 36 2D 30 31 0A 4E 48 4D 2D 35 0A 28 63 29 20 4E 4D
50 2E 00 01 41 3F A4
Did the reason is that i have leaved out the MBUS pin empty and connected only fbus RX TX and gnd pins
Please Give me a Solution
Any success? I want to do the exact same thing!
Regards,
Ken
Hi,
I would also like to do this. Has anyone had any success? Is there such thing as a fbus library for Arduino?
Thanks,
Adam
Damn NOKIA & FBUS!! >:(
Can this link be useful to anybody? (and eventually to me once you figure out how to use fbus with arduino? : )
http://www.embedtronics.com/nokia/fbus.html
The downloadable test program also contain C++ source!
For what it's worth, I have successfully used the referenced FBUS implementation with a 6110 and a UNIX computer, so I know the code works.
Incidentally, something I see in your picture and that has given me trouble in the past, is that you have both the tx/rx pins and the USB connected to something. Both the phone and the USB will be attempting to assert onto the rx pin at the same time and this will affect your results.
do you mean the code in POST #3 ?
No. I meant the code at embedtronics.com.
I had to look again at that site and I believe the code I actually used is one of their references, Nokia 61xx SMS send/receive functions by Justin Karneges -- not the embedtronics code as I said. Sorry.
Justin's code works fine on my UNIX system -- maybe you'd consider having a go with that?
I do think that you will want a MEGA or something with more than one hardware UART to debug this, and I also recommend getting a Bus Pirate.
I was not able to locate the right code on that site, can you please be more specific? Is the one in the zip, or wherelse?
I think we're talking about two completely different things: I'm looking for code which can run on arduino, but I think you're talking about a code running on a PC.
Is that the same?
As far as I can understand, the code in n61sms.c requires a lot of additional code for timing and serial communication handling.
