Using Arduino Programming Questions

can you help me my arduino project i have a gsm shield sim900r and i want to send sms but i can not this i used this code

/*
SMS sender

This sketch, for the Arduino GSM shield,sends an SMS message
you enter in the serial monitor. Connect your Arduino with the
GSM shield and SIM card, open the serial monitor, and wait for
the "READY" message to appear in the monitor. Next, type a
message to send and press "return". Make sure the serial
monitor is set to send a newline when you press return.

Circuit:

  • GSM shield
  • SIM card that can send SMS

// Include the GSM library
#include <GSM.h>

#define PINNUMBER ""

// initialize the library instance
GSM gsmAccess;
GSM_SMS sms;

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 Sender");

// connection state
boolean notConnected = true;

// Start GSM shield
// If your SIM has PIN, pass it as a parameter of begin() in quotes
while (notConnected) {
if (gsmAccess.begin(PINNUMBER) == GSM_READY) {
notConnected = false;
} else {
Serial.println("Not connected");
delay(1000);
}
}

Serial.println("GSM initialized");
}

void loop() {

Serial.print("Enter a mobile number: ");
char remoteNum[20]; // telephone number to send sms
readSerial(remoteNum);
Serial.println(remoteNum);

// sms text
Serial.print("Now, enter SMS content: ");
char txtMsg[200];
readSerial(txtMsg);
Serial.println("SENDING");
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Message:");
Serial.println(txtMsg);

// send the message
sms.beginSMS(remoteNum);
sms.print(txtMsg);
sms.endSMS();
Serial.println("\nCOMPLETE!\n");
}

/*
Read input serial
*/
int readSerial(char result[]) {
int i = 0;

while (Serial.available() > 0) {
char inChar = Serial.read();

The code that you failed to post properly does something. You expect it (possibly unrealistically) to do something.

I think that it is safe to assume that if the two things were the same thing, you wouldn't have felt the need to post here. But what those two things are is a mystery.

P.S. The Serial.flush() call is useless. Get rid of it.

Please use code tags (</> button on the toolbar) when you post code or warning/error messages. The reason is that the forum software can interpret parts of your code as markup (the italics in your code above for example), leading to confusion, wasted time, and a reduced chance for you to get help with your problem. This will also make it easier to read your code and to copy it to the IDE or editor. Using code tags and other important information is explained in the How to use this forum post. Please read it.
