#Use pyGSM to manage SMS

pyGSM is a Python module which uses pySerial to provide a nifty interface 
to send and receive SMS via a GSM Modem.

#Install pyGSM on FOX Board G20

Download the pyGSM project from GitHub repository by typing:

<pre class="minicom">
debarm:~# git clone http://github.com/adammck/pygsm.git
Cloning into pygsm...
...
</pre>

Install the package <b>python-setuptools</b> required by the pygsm 
setup program.

<pre class="minicom">
debarm:~# apt-get update
...
debarm:~# apt-get install python-setuptools
...
</pre>

The install the pyGSM library by typing:

<pre class="minicom">
debarm:~# cd pygsm
debarm:~# python setup.py install
...
</pre>

Then try this example:

@pg='python/sms/lettercounter.py'

Change the serial port to use the right serial port where is wired your GSM modem:

* <b>/dev/ttyS1</b> if your are using a FOXGM or FOXGM2 board with the Telit GM862-QUAD
* <b>/dev/ttyS2</b> if you are a DAISY-13 data module plugged on D1
* <b>/dev/ttyS4</b> if you are a DAISY-13 data module plugged on D6
* <b>/dev/ttyUSB0</b> if you are using a Digicom USB Wave GPRS modem on a USB port

Run the lettercounter.py example by typing:

<pre class="minicom">
debarm:~# cd playground/python/sms#
debarm:~/playground/python/sms# python lettercounter.py
   debug Booting
   debug Connecting
   write 'ATE0\r'
    read '\r\n'
    read 'OK\r\n'
   write 'AT+CMEE=1\r'
    read '\r\n'
    read 'OK\r\n'
... 
</pre>

The demo will loop forever. Try to send a SMS from your mobile phone
to the SIM number mounted on the FOX Board G20 and see what happen.
