I wish to use my old 500 type dialler set modified to work using gsm. i have basic knowledge of interfacing gsm modem with micro controllers. I need a hand to make the conversion possible.

 

You want to decode dial pulses and use this to dial a GSM phone?

A micro-controller and a simple program could be used to decode the pulses.
It's just a matter of some timing and counting.

Connect a phone dial to an oscilloscope and study the wave forms to start your thought process going.

 

i think the antique nature must be maintained..
ie. start from the 20 hz 48vac for ringing.
the dial have five wires. can i get the wave form by took the phone from cradle ,power it up .

 

The normal dial pulses at 10 pulses/sec. The make : break ratio is 1 : 2.

 

ok. that will i check with dso. which gsm module is best and cheapest?
it must be efficient, because i wish continuous working.

 

You can get GSM modules from about Rs. 900/- onwards. Try Amazon.

OK

can i post it in the complete project forum?
after successful completion

 

The normal dial pulses at 10 pulses/sec. The make : break ratio is 1 : 2.

Actually the ratio is 33% make to 66% break.

Sorry I got that backwards it it 60% make 40% break.

 

It doesn't matter. By now they are largely inaccurate. It won't always do to time from first to last pulse, but rather you'd still have to count them.

 

48 VAC at 20 Hz might pose a problem.

Can you find a sound file that imitates that ring?

A ring tone perhaps.

 

Problem is after using hand-phones for so long, I can't even remember my friends' phone numbers now. If I go back to the rotary dial phone I'll need to get a small note book to write down their phone numbers before I can use it....

The smart phones are actually making us stupid and lazy...

Besides where can you get those rotary phones cheaply?

For counting pulses, to avoid using contact denounce hardware, I simply looked in software for a number of samples consecutive reading contact closed or open.
Here's a dial timer where the middle LED would indicate correct timing,
but this 70's example was a little off:

In fact, most were off.
Then the same counting method above to complete a dial interpreter:

Of course, the LCD only needed for testing.
There is also code probably available that was frequently used to make
rotary dial phones compatible with DTMF exchanges.

 

20 hz 48vac for ringing.

OK probably not important to get the make break ratio just right, but I would guess any old rotary dial phone would be closer to 60/40 than 50/50. The ring voltage in the US for POTS is approx 100VRMS at 20 Hz. The line voltage is -48V and the ring voltage "rides" on it.

 

no sound file needed, i just rewind the solenoid which works on 12v a bifiller type so that two mosfets can ring them like in its golden age.

the phone is older than me. i have one in home .

Actually the ratio is 33% make to 66% break.

Sorry I got that backwards it it 60% make 40% break.

i got the exact number from dialler and i also added speed dial facility which include my friends and family.

Allen

are they costly

 

are they costly

I was working in telephone Exchanges, from GEC Strowger [step by step] to ARF Cross-bar to AXE Electronic SPC. These phones were very common in the 70s and 80s. I could get them free of charge from our telephone workshop. When push button DTMF phones were introduced. The rotary type phones were slowly disappearing and by the 90s, they were almost becoming obsolete. The last version that we used were NEC models.

I should have grabbed a few for my collection but my wife thought they occupied too much space and I had to give them away to my friends. Now we can only get push button phones that send out pulses. May be the antique shops still have them at higher prices.

YES
SIR, where is your location?.
i saw pawn stars in history tv , they are a large antique collectors.but low rate.

i want to present my phone to my father it was he who kept this for such a long time to regain it's life.

 

Hello everyone can someone help me with a c code to read an sms from a GSM module with pic16f877 i am using ccs compiler.
thanks!

 

Look at this:

http://wedophones.com/TheBellSystem/pdf/bsp/c-typeringer/501-250-303-7809.pdf

The frequencies of the various bell types are in FIG 2. (I have a bell assy using 54A and 55A gongs). Alternate these freqs at a 20 Hz rate, and you should have a ringer. The 'cam' they refer to is a 'volume control' device the user could use to adjust the loudness of the ring.

thanks!

the format of reading sms/call will be provided in the data sheet,and are using AT-commands.
which modem are you using?i have the codes of frago mastro modem i think a little difference in code. i may send one for reference

i did the project for my friend . it is an sms based motor controller .
