Connecting Flora to Fona

[benhp]

I am now able to get to this menu. Now to test a phone call

[benhp]

Success! I have successfully sent a text message with the device. Thank so much for helping me through this.

[adafruit_support_rick]

You're welcome!

[benhp]

Rick I have another question and it regards to the actual code it self. I am only interested in sending a text message, to a preprogrammed number. I am running into problems trying to set up the code to automatically send, so I do not need to be plugged into a computer, to then type the commands into the device. I was wondering if you could help me this one more time

Code: Select all

 case 's': {
      // send an SMS!
      char sendto[21], message[141];
      flushSerial();
      //Serial.print(F("Send to #"));
      sendto = This is where i was placing my phone number;
      Serial.println(sendto);
      Serial.print(F("Type out one-line message (140 char): "));
      readline(message, 140);
      Serial.println(message);
      if (!fona.sendSMS(sendto, message)) {
        Serial.println(F("Failed"));
      } else {
        Serial.println(F("Sent!"));
      }
      
      break;
    }

Code: Select all

      sendto = This is where i was placing my phone number;

You can't do that. Instead, you can put the phone number in an initializer for the array.

Code: Select all

      char sendto[] = "1234567890";
      char message[] = "This is your message"
      flushSerial();
      if (!fona.sendSMS(sendto, message)) {
        Serial.println(F("Failed"));
      } else {
        Serial.println(F("Sent!"));
      }
      
      break;

Better yet, just put the phone number and message into the sendSMS call as a literal string:

Code: Select all

      if (!fona.sendSMS("1234567890", "This is your message")) {
        Serial.println(F("Failed"));
      } else {
        Serial.println(F("Sent!"));
      }
      
      break;

I am getting hung up on taking the device off the computer. I have a lsm9ds0 9-DOF sensor attached to my flora along with the fona device. I am trying to make the Sensor's accelerometer data once x axis hits -3000 or y axis hits -1800 to send a text message. I get the Fona to initialize but I don't get any data from the sensor.
It wont let me attatch my code because it says I have spam in the code of I M E I but I cant take those out or the code breaks.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Put spaces in the I M E I. I'll take the spaces out and try to run it.

I'm getting sensor data here. You must have your LSM9DS0 hooked up wrong.

[benhp]

I get the sensor data when I run the Library example code. it should send the text message when that sensor reads anything less than -3000 but I do not get a message.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Mine isn't passing the test to do that. It keeps printing out "We are standing"

[benhp]

I get the same message now. It looks like it still needs to go through the serial monitor for the Fona to initialize. Is that true?

[adafruit_support_rick]

I don't think so. I added this to your code, but I did nothing else:

Code: Select all

  /* Initialise the sensor */
  if(!lsm.begin())
  {
    /* There was a problem detecting the LSM9DS0 ... check your connections */
    Serial.print(F("Ooops, no LSM9DS0 detected ... Check your wiring or I2C ADDR!"));
    while(1);
  }
  Serial.println(F("Found LSM9DS0 9DOF"));
    
  /* Setup the sensor gain and integration time */
  setupSensor();

[benhp]

Awesome I got it to work! I successfully was able to get the text message. I have one last question, and that is How do I get the flora to initialize the Fona? So that I don't have to go to the Serial.Monitor and initializing it that way.

[adafruit_support_rick]

Not sure what initialization you're referring to? Once you call fona.begin, it's ready to go.
