Network availability with the AT+CREG (network registration)

Example for OK registration:

AT+CREG?

+CREG: 0,1

Send/REC sms in text mode sms (default is PDU)

AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1 ; =1 == text mode
OK

Example receive sms QW :

+CMTI: "SM",8

AT+CMGR=8

+CMGR: "REC UNREAD","+38971262858","","17/11/30,18:55:42+04"

QWERTY

OK

Ezample send sms ABCD to number 087234111 (from any terminal in PC )

AT+CMGS="087234111"

> ABCD ;after this do: CTRL+Z

+CMGS: 12

That did it...yipee!

Hi tacbanon,

I loaded your code from post 19 into a circuit here, and tested hserout with your settings. I
couldn't seem to get anything out, unless I removed your brown out reset in the configs.

If you change this line, does it help anything?

; __CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_ON_2L & _BORV_2_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L

__CONFIG _CONFIG2L, _PWRT_ON_2L & _BOR_OFF_2L & _VREGEN_ON_2L

As a side note, for 115200 baud on earlier code, I had to use:

'DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
'DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 0
'DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically
'DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25 ' 115200 Baud @ 48MHz, 0.16%
