At Commands

[frika6]

Good day,

I have a question, can AT Commands be used to write a program? Or is it just used to command and to receive a response?

Forgive my inexperience. I'm new to all this development and would like to find a starting point.

Only AT commands I remember were back in the modem days.
ATZ
ATW

It's best to start at the beginning hey!?

its only used for diagnostics usually, but I suppose it could be done, as you can get it to dial, and hang up all using AT commands,

its definetly possible..... just not sure why....

unless your modem has to do something first before it works....

I'm playing with ARM mbed but as far as I know C++ is mostly used for this type of dev. Just wanted to get some clarity

Good for you for wanting to understand how all of this "stuff" started. But practically speaking, not really a requirement anymore ....

Best to get started with a language and continue from there?

"hang up" thanks Google.

Looking up AT commands on Google gives over 2.4 million results .....

MY original ADSL modem ( still works) has an appendix in the back detailing the AT commands applicable to the modem.

I have a Microsoft MS-DOS User's Guide and reference on my bookshelf with an appendix listed AT commands .....

Maybe SS should have made more use of the "AT+CBC" command :crylaugh:

took me a few minutes! Any suggestions on where to start an online C++ course?

Hard to believe, I know - I still have two modems between the two POTS lines coming into my office and the desktop PC. That way I can remotely manage Telkom CallForward and other touch-tone-managed services by simply RDPing into my PC and then controlling the Smart Services. It's all done in batch files that send Hayes AT command strings to the appropriate COM port and modem. From anywhere on the planet I can remotely forward my Telkom lines to any other number, switch CallForward on or off, etc.

I find this amazing.

I don't understand why you would need to do that but I don't care to be honest, that is just freaking cool.

Because you can manage/change the various Plus Services only from an instrument directly attached to the line.

Rare as hen's teeth. Best bet are books, books, books and open source projects with a mentor.

Thanks for the advice! Will do

We used an asset telemetry device made by a company called enfora. That company is now owned by Novatel Wireless who now also own Digicore (Ctrack).

You could create scripts on that unit, store data, do calculations, loops , etc. All of this using AT commands. In essence, it was a scripting language of sorts
