Hi
I am a complete beginner with the Arduino boards> i have recently gotten the Sagem HILo GPRS module for the Arduino. When i conned the module and connect via hyper terminal i do not get the expected reply from the module. I get a long string of numbers which appears to be the message in am expecting only in in ASCII code. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem or has anyone heard of this before? :o
Any help you could give would be appreciated.
Tiny
Is there no one out there who has had this problem or can help me at all? 
Hi Tiny;
I know that some GPRS chips in certain modes do just send ASCII. It is a way to send 8bit data over 7bit channels... You have to parse the data out and reconstruct the message, paying attention to the GPRS structures.
However, I am not familiar at all with that board. Have you been able to find any communications samples with the board, or have you looked up the datasheet on the chip on the board?
There were once a thread concerning a sagem hilo module, I read/wrote in it in the spring. I can't find it now 
Please give some more information about the module and the command you send.
I found these threads:

and this tutorial page (with sample code)

The tutorial page is where you probably want to start.
