GSM.h depreciated / not working

Type40 · June 25, 2018, 3:09pm

So, I loaded up the example code for recieving SMS with a GSM shield.

I get the following warnings from the example code :

In file included from C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\GSM\src/GSM.h:46:0,

from C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_modified_sketch_595768\ReceiveSMS.ino:21:

if (gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) == GSM_READY) {

^

I tried to serial print gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) and I got no output.

The example code never gets past

while (notConnected) {
Serial.println(gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER));
if (gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) == GSM_READY) {
notConnected = false;
} else {
Serial.println("Not connected");
delay(1000);
}
}

niether does it say "Not connected" nor does it leave the loop as the line
Serial.println("GSM initialized");
never triggers.

I have done no modifications to the example code (Examples>GSM>RecieveSMS) .

Can anyone explain to me why this code doesn't work ?

No idea.

But calling a begin() function twice might not be a good idea.

Store the result of gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) in a variable and print that variable and use that variable in the condition in the if statement.

PS
By the way, the specific warnings are harmless.

Yes,

I tried that. I tried to save it into a variable and println that variable. nothing was displayed.

It doesn't work when removing the serial.println(gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER)) either.

BTW the full code looks like this


/*

SMS receiver
This sketch, for the Arduino GSM shield, waits for a SMS message

and displays it through the Serial port.
Circuit:

GSM shield attached to and Arduino

// include the GSM library

#include <GSM.h>
// PIN Number for the SIM

#define PINNUMBER "6141"
// initialize the library instances

GSM gsmAccess;

GSM_SMS sms;
// Array to hold the number a SMS is retreived from

char senderNumber[20];
void setup() {

// initialize serial communications and wait for port to open:

Serial.begin(9600);

while (!Serial) {

; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only

}
Serial.println("SMS Messages Receiver");
// connection state

boolean notConnected = true;
// Start GSM connection

while (notConnected) {

Serial.println(gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER));

if (gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) == GSM_READY) {

notConnected = false;

} else {

Serial.println("Not connected");

delay(1000);

}

}
Serial.println("GSM initialized");

Serial.println("Waiting for messages");

}
void loop() {

char c;
// If there are any SMSs available()

if (sms.available()) {

Serial.println("Message received from:");
// Get remote number

sms.remoteNumber(senderNumber, 20);

Serial.println(senderNumber);
// An example of message disposal

// Any messages starting with # should be discarded

if (sms.peek() == '#') {

Serial.println("Discarded SMS");

sms.flush();

}
// Read message bytes and print them

while (c = sms.read()) {

Serial.print(c);

}
Serial.println("\nEND OF MESSAGE");
// Delete message from modem memory

sms.flush();

Serial.println("MESSAGE DELETED");

}
delay(1000);
}

Anyone can try to compile this code because it IS the example code/tutorial code for recieving SMS by GSM.

I tried uploading this example code on to a Arduino Mega 2560 and got the following warnings.

Also, I have had this example work on the same arduino about 4 years ago.

By the way, I am using a GSM Playground v1.6
