WiFi SMS Gateway
After a long search on the internet, trying to find a cheap SMS Gateway, I got the idea to create one myself.
As I already had a GM862 module laying around, and I’ve got the WiShield WiFi module for the Arduino too, I thought it would be easy – but it wasn’t!
The hardware setup is pretty easy, except the powering for the GM862, as it requires about 3.8V. That was made with a Linear LT1528 3A low dropout voltage regulator.
After alot of testing and measuring, I finally made a working circuit, and afterwards an Eagle Schematic.

In the following picture you will see the hardware setup, which consists of the Arduino with the WiShield on the top, the GM862 on two breadboards, and alot of wires!

Ã?Â
But the real problems appeared when I started programming! I had alot of troubles with the serial connection between the Arduino and the GM862 module, which apparently wasn’t caused by the hardware setup!
Ã?Â
After alot of debugging I figured it out, and a simple SMS sending code was working 🙂
Then after a couple of hours I’ve added the WiFi parsing code which sends an SMS to the requested number, with the requested message, read from the GET parameters!
You can grab the code here, and try it out:
