Hi This months edition of Everyday Practical Electronics magazine features part one of a project to build a device to enable remote control and remote status indication all via an old Nokia mobile phone suing GSM based SMS service ( text message )
See the magazine web site here: http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/index.html This could sure be useful on remote repeater sites especially ones using battery power or wind/solar power. The design includes battery management functions so as not to overcharge the battery and in the event of a power outage and the phone switching off due to low battery, upon restoration of power, the design switches the phone back on again. Part two will be in the shops next week but copies should be available via the web site's online shop. Matt G4RKY. Note, I have no connection with any of the parties involved in this project in any way. ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
