1. Embedded DSPIC Microcontroller Based SMS to Thermal Printer
Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service component of phone, web, or mobile
communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange
of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices.
SMS is the most widely used data application in the world, with 3.6 billion active users, or 78%

messaging and the user activity itself in many parts of the world. SMS is also being used as a
form of direct marketing known as SMS marketing.
This project is used to display SMS Messages in a LCD screen. A Message sent to a remote
mobile number is read using a GSM Modem and is displayed on the LCD display. It will be useful
in Public Address systems, Shopping Malls, Hospitals and public places to display a Message to
all the peoples in the common places.
It also has a printing facility using a thermal printer.
This device is a special piece of equipment custom made to receive and print orders in a remote
location via the GSM network (SMS). When messages are directly received to this GSM printer it
has the functionality to process the message and can reply back status messages to the sender.
