CONTROLLING NOKIA PHONES WITH ARDUINO

While [Ilias Giechaskiel] was waiting on his SIM900 shield to arrive, he chose to see what he might finish with an old Nokia 6310i as well as an Arduino. He was researching exactly how to send automated SMS text messages for a house safety and security project, as well as discovered it was possible to send AT commands through the headphone jack of Motorola phones. however sadly Nokia did not support this, as they utilize a protocol understood as FBus. With bit info to go on, [Ilias] was able to break down the challenging protocol as well as take control with his Arduino.

With the connections in place, [Ilias] was able to interact with the Nokia phone utilizing a program called Gnokii — a utility written particularly for controlling the phone with a computer. utilizing the Arduino as an intermediary, he was ultimately able tap into the FBus as well as send SMS messages.

Be sure to inspect out his blog as [Ilias] goes into fantastic detail on exactly how Nokia’s FBus protocol works, as well as offers all source code needed to replicate his hack. There is likewise a video presentation at the end showing the hack in action.
