Project Help and Ideas » Sending a text message
January 30, 2012 by ashag |
Hi, I am starting a new project where I need to send a text message to a person's phone and I'm thinking of the best way to do this. So far I've come up with two ideas -
I am thinking that approach # 2 would be a better idea and also cheaper since there is no extra phone involved. Can someone please give some suggestion as to how I can connect the nerdkit to the internet ? Thanks Ashish |

You could connect to an inexpensive computer through the UART and use a program on the computer as a relay using python or any other method of your choice. This is the easiest to implement. Alternatively there are 10/100 ethernet modules which will allow your device to connect to a LAN. The ENC28J60 modules on ebay are interesting looking. |

ashag, I've seen programs that utilize Google's gmail text sender. I think you input your gmail and the person's cellphone number and carrier. I too have looked into this in the past and this way seems to be the most cheap. -Dan |
