Hi im a college student currently working on a thesis: sms-based appliance control..im planning to interface a 3310 or 6110 to a z86 microprocessor..the available microp i have can only run on 9600 baud rate so i need to use an m-bus connection..plus a UART since the chip doesnt have a serial interface. But firstly, i plan on controlling the appliance using my PC's serial port and the m-bus protocol. I've downloaded previous attachments posted here and they have seem to be potentially helpfull resources. However, since i have very amateur programming skills. I would like to ask help for a basic rundown of how i should start this project. All I have so far is a choice of phone 3310/6610, m-bus protocol as indicated in various sources, and a choice of visual basic or c++. How do i start programming? I will greatly owe whoever can lend me a hand. Thnx :)
