Electronic Basics #11: Sending SMS with Arduino || TC 35 GSM Module

Order your TC35 GSM Module here (affiliate links):

In this video I will show you how to use a TC35 GSM module properly and how to use it with an Arduino Uno to send a SMS with it.

You can easily use an old phone to do this as well since virtually all mobile phones since the beginning has an exposed AT interface via the modem and you just connect with a serial interface just like the example here in the video. I have reused many old mobile phones as remote alarm senders in the field. I charge the phones with solar cells and they run forever unless something goes wrong... I do all of this with an atmega328 - which runs from the phone battery as well - and if the battery stops charging it sends an SMS when it falls below 10% so I can go out and swap the phone. Very cheap and useful usage for old phones!

ich finde es gut das du auch "kleiner" tutorials machst über solche sachen. Da kann man als anfänger gut sich sachen abschauen!
weiter so!

Hey Scott, I love your videos! I'm just a beginner in electronics world and still only blinking LEDs and stuff like that, but I had an idea of using smartphone as accelerometer/gyroscope alarm for my motorcycle, but most android phones do not want to do anything while screen is off, so, are unusable... But this seems like it could be a way to go, could it be used on battery thats charged by generator and have some movement detectors? My idea is to send sms or call if bike is moved, maybe even do some feedback for the one moving it.

please help, the gsm module sends a message to the phone, , but how can you send a message back to gsm module?, , , example i will text "UNLOCK" to the gsm module then a pin will be high and a door will unlock.

I appreciate your helping us to send SMS, can you provide me the code for receiving sms?

[KingSlimjeezy]

I can't believe I didnt hear of you until now. I guess I was busier in the past few years. You have inspired me to take my hobby to the next level, thank you very much, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!

Hi GreatScott! I've been watching your channel for a while now, and just want to say I love your videos! Keep up the great work!

One would think they switched it on the labelling for Tx/Rx so you didn't switch them up accidentally, so any beginner that didn't know that you had to insert them backwards would get it right first time.

GreatScott! can we send a image with Arduino or some other processors??

[TechGuyTelugu]

Hello bro,
why don't you make a video on the cheap gsm module SW M590E/NEOWAY M590.Which is much less cost then other .it is less than $12

[gtamasterplayer]

LOL When he pressed the button at 2:16, a FaceBook notification came up at the right moment.

[admheillkate]

Hi. Sending SMS can lock or unlock your door security?? Or it just send a notification alert when there is an attempt of an unknown person.???

[SerajEmad]

Can you please make a video on how to use ths GSM module with 8bit atmel microcontroller/Arduino?
Thanks in advance

buy somthing cheap but dont complain about made in china.

[Storiez_by_sal]

I am unable to download your code from the website Instructables, what i suppose to do?

Can you use this same principle to send Cellular data? Im designing a tablet on my own to really push my knowledge. No im not gonna sell it or release plans because its just for me and im not sure how well other people would like my first design lol. Im trying to make a portable retro gaming tablet.

STOP. YES I CAN BUY ONE. I DONT WANT TO. I WANT TO BUILD ONE.

Excellent video! But I have a question. Why in a part of code says "if (text[i - 1] == 46)" ?. Why 46? What does it mean?

[Decco]

too bad 3g isn't available to consumers anymore
No, the system isn't really shutdown, tis just not available to purchase as part of an inside plan to upsale new phones to people that have been too stubborn to upgrade.

[blubberwasser]

Tolles Ding! muss ich mal ausprobieren!

[mycavalli]

Can i send SMS for more number phone ? Can i control send SMS in C# application ?
