RS232

 TheMAX232

is an integrated circuit, which converts signals f

romanRS-232 serial port to signals suitable for use in TTL
compatible digital logic circuits
Its a dual driver/receiver and typically converts the RX, TX,
CTS and RTS signals.

GSM Module(SIM 300)

GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless

network.

An external GSM modem is connected to a computer through a serial cable

or a USB cable. Like a GSM mobile phone, a GSM modem requires a SIM
card from a wireless carrier in order to operate.

Wireless MODEMs use serial communication to interface with and need

Hayes compatible AT commands for communication with the
microprocessor.

About software
Software

used is:
Keil software for C programming
Express PCB for lay out design
Embedded C language for
programming

Program Flow
Initialize

moisture and temperature value as 50 and 40

degree celsius.
Conditions in the loop are then checked and compared
by the microprocessor that whether the temp <40 or
moisture <50 if it is the motor will turn on else motor
will be off.
Like this the LPC2148 communicates with the GSM and
sends the message to the user about its conditions and so
on the process goes on.
