Interfacing msp430g2553 with gsm sim900

[shailav619 0]

Hello,

I am using msp430g2553 mcu and I interfaced that mcu with gsm sim900 successfully. Now I am facing some strange behavior in the code.

When I write the loop as follows:

void loop()
{
  String buffer = readSIM900A();
  String msgOn = buffer;
  String number1 = "8320389582"; //problem
  String number2 = "9106555707"; //problem
  String number3 = "9979933498"; //problem

    if (buffer.startsWith("\r\n+CMT: "))
    {
         Serial.println(buffer);
           buffer.remove(0,12);
           buffer.remove(10);
           Serial.println(buffer);
           msgOn.remove(0,51);
           msgOn.remove(3);
           Serial.println(msgOn);   
       if(((buffer==number1)||(buffer==number2)||(buffer==number3))&&((msgOn=="On")||(msgOn=="ON")||(msgOn=="on")))
       {
            digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
        }

 

    }

    delay(100);

 
}

In the lines above commented with "problem":

-> When I write String number1 = "8320389582"; //problem like this and when I use this for toggling led like this

if(((buffer==number1)||(buffer==number2)||(buffer==number3))&&((msgOn=="On")||(msgOn=="ON")||(msgOn=="on")))
       {
            digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
        }

This doesnt work but instead when I use the code like

if(((buffer=="+91963xxxx")||(buffer=="+91963XXXX")||(buffer=="+918753XXX"))&&((msgOn=="On")||(msgOn=="ON")||(msgOn=="on")))
       {
            digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
        }

This works and I can toggle the led.

According to my understanding there is some compiler issue in this related to memory for local loop.

Can anyone help me with this?

I am attaching my code for reference.

Thanks,

Shailav

Be very carful with the String library on small RAM devices like to G2553. The G2553 only has 1/2 a KB of RAM and you are most likely running out of RAM. I would avoid using the String library all together on the G2553. However you can try the following:

1. Make number1 ,2 and 3 a global by declaring them outside the setup and loop and make them of type char.
2. avoid the msgOn = buffer statement in the loop.
3. If you know what the maximum string size is readSIM900A can ever return then declare buffer with String buffer[MAX_SIZE] as a global and then in the loop do buffer = readSIM900A().

This might just free up enough memory to make this work but you will most likely run into trouble again if you continue using the String library.
