Arduino + Gumband SMS: Send Data From Arduino Over SMS and Do Something Fun With It !

This document discusses using an Arduino, phone, and Gumband API to send sensor data via SMS and receive it on a web endpoint. The necessary components are an Arduino, phone with serial interface, phone service, DIY Arduino-phone cable, and a Gumband account. Gumband allows registering a keyword so that SMS messages sent to its shortcode with that keyword are forwarded to a predefined web URL. The document provides steps to set up the Arduino and phone to send SMS, configure Gumband, and modify an Arduino sketch to send sensor data to the Gumband shortcode so the data can be received and displayed on the web endpoint. Potential applications mentioned include real-time sensor

Agenda
1. Objective
2. Things you need
3. Gumband SMS 101
4. Setup your Arduino + Phone
5. Setup Gumband
6. Setup Arduino + Phone + Gumband
7. Other cool stuff you can do
What are we trying to do
• Use Arduino to send out data over SMS
• Receive SMS using Gumband
• Do something cool with the data
• Do all the above for cheap or free 
Things you need
• Arduino or compatible platform ~$25
(atmega328 or better recommended)

• Gumband account Free!

• Phone with serial interface ~$20


(Motorola c168i on ebay $15)

• Phone service Free - $30/ month


(I used O2 Wireless)

• DIY Arduino – Phone cable $2

• PHP webpage (Endpoint) to receive and display the data


Gumband SMS 101
• Gumband is an API that allows applications to send and
receive SMS messages.
• Register keyword with Gumband
• Whenever someone sends a message with the keyword to the
Gumband shortcode 25252 it is forwarded to a pre-defined
webpage (endpoint)

Your website

Gumband
SMS Interweb Cool Stuff !!
magic!
Setup Arduino + Phone
• Make DIY serial cable
3 pin 3.5mm stereo plug for Motorola c168i
• Install the Serial2Mobile Arduino library
• Connect Arduino to phone with serial cable
• Verify SMS function using sample
serial2mobile sketch in Arduino
Setup Gumband
• Sign up for Gumband
• Register keyword
• Modify and upload sample Gumband
Endpoint PHP code to your website
Arduino + Phone + Gumband
• Modify sample sketch to send SMS to 25252
with your keyword
• Verify that your site is receiving the messages
with sender details.
Cool Stuff you can do
• Real time sensor monitoring and alerting
• Location tracking
