GSM connection to the Web via the GPRS

Other Hardware Robotics

Hello all,

I am using the ICOMSAT GSM in the link below to send data to my web server

http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im120417009.html

I am using the following code to send data to my internet server.

First I connect to the GSM Network everytime I need to send a data to the sever

see the code below:

===========================================
Serial.println("GSM Shield testing.");

if (gsm.begin(2400)){

Serial.println("\nstatus=READY");

started=true;

}

else Serial.println("\nstatus=IDLE");

Then secondly I connect to the GPRS with the code below.

==================================================

if(started){

if (inet.attachGPRS("internet.wind", "", ""))

Serial.println("status=ATTACHED");

else Serial.println("status=ERROR");

delay(1000);

===================================================
Then I send the data with the code below

numdata=inet.httpPOST("www.evildeejay.it", 80, "/test/test.php", "name=Marco&age=24",msg, 50);

==========================================

Is there anyway to connect myself to the GSM and GPRS and stay connected and just send data?

As the 3 steps mentioned above take long time for every data to be sent to the server.

Many Thanks for your help.

Typically, no. A connection exists for only as long as needed to send data and get the response.

What does this have to do with Robotics?

I want the robot to send back its position everytime it moves, to control its position remotely.

Thank you enormously for your feed back.

Kind Regards,
