Sony Ericsson - RS232 - Rx/Tx serial help :)

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

Hi there :slight_smile: ,

I would like to use my old SOny Ericsson W810i or K610i to send sms.

I plan to use my arduino to send at commands.

I don't know how to interface those phone.

Here is the pinout :

pin no. 1 = +5 v
pin no. 5 = Tx RS232
pin No. 6 = Rx RS232
pin no. 9 = Gnd
pin No. 10= USB Data +
pin no. 11= USB Data -

It is possible to use directly the Usb d+/d- and use it as a Serial port on arduino? Or I have to find a way to convert RS232 to serial?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, if the phone is a USB master. Otherwise, no, can't connect two USB slaves.

RS232 to serial, just need a MAX232 or MAX3232 type chip, or a module depending on the connector needs

But if I use a Softwareserial port to communicate between the two, there will be each Master and slave alternatively ?

Serial back & forth with Rx/Tx at up to 4800 is entirely different from USB running at 12 Mybytes/sec & the USB protocol that goes on between master/host & slave.

But if I want to send AT commands I have to use the Serial Rx/Tx, no?

Or maybe I could use a USB host shield? I'm not really good at communication stuff... :confused:

"if I want to send AT commands I have to use the Serial Rx/Tx"
I believe that is correct.

And What about the USB host Shield? Do you think it is possible to communicate this way?
