Hi,

For my next project, I would like to send/recieve SMSes through a Nokia =
3310 or 5110/6110.
I have found some excellent sites and it looks quite easy.
What I need now is a phone ($30) and a cable.=20

Problem: All the designs I have seen on a cable is either a bought cable =
($$ and several feet long) or one built with an F84 and some RS-232 =
interface chip to make communication with a PC serial directly possible. =
This seems both expensive (well, not really) but above all unnessecary, =
with a high count of component to first make the Nokia talk RS232, and =
then to make the AVR talk RS232. Can't I just skip the double conversion =
there? :)

1. Would it be hard to make a C program (GCC) to talk to the Nokia =
directly?=20

2. Would it be possible to hardwire the pins of the AVR/PIC to the pins =
on the Nokia? The Nokia is 3,3 volts, but if I run a capable AVR on the =
same 3,3v feed? Of course, the logic levels are 0-0,8 and 2-2,8.. Hmm..

3. Recommendations? (Buy a cable you cheap fool !? :)

Thanks in advance,

Magnus von Rosen, Sweden
