GSM Example Example should show the following on the display on the panel and on the hardware.

The AT injector component allows us to simulate the response of the GSM module.

Macro reference

	PlayNote
Output a single note on the buzzer. Specify the desired frequency (Hz) and duration (ms).
- UINT	Frequency
Sets the pitch for the note in Hz. Range 1-20000 Hz
- ULONG	Duration
Time period to play the note for in milliseconds. Range 0-65535 ms
- VOID	Return

	DisplayWrite
Write an array containing 16 bytes to the display to illuminate the corresponding dots. The index represents the line (Y-axis), starting from 0 for the uppermost line. The value of the byte represents the column (X-axis), with MSB the leftmost dot.
- BYTE	Array
Index = line, Content (byte) = column
- VOID	Return

	PotRead
Read and return the value of the potentiometer. If desired, give the upper limit to scale the output value. Enter "MaxValue = 0" to skip scaling and get the byte value (0-255)
- UINT	MaxValue
Scale the return value. Enter 0 to skip.
- UINT	Return

	PwrLedSet
Control the PWR LED. 0 = red + green 1 = red 2 = green
- BYTE	Value
0 = red + green, 1 = red, 2 = green
- VOID	Return

	EEStoreValue
Saves a value to none volitile memory
- BYTE	Address
Address to write to, Range: 0-255
- BYTE	Value
Value to store, Range: 0-255
- VOID	Return

	MP3PlayTrack
Plays track from the selected folder. MP3 & Advert folder track numbers should be 4 characters long e.g. "0001-anyname.mp3". Other folder track numbers should be 3 characters long e.g. "001-anyname.mp3".
- BYTE	Directory
0=Root, 01=Folder "01" - 99=Folder "99", 100=Folder "MP3", 101=Advert
- UINT	Track
Track number 1 = "001.mp3" / "0001.mp3"
- VOID	Return

	MP3GetStatus
Returns the status of the MP3 module. 0 = module in sleep 1 = track is playing 2 = track is pauzed 3 = track is stopped
- BYTE	Return

	MP3PausePlayResetStop
Allows the current playing track to be paused, restarted or stopped.
- BYTE	Mode
0=Pause, 1=Play, 2=Reset, 3=Stop
- VOID	Return

	MP3SendCommand

- BYTE	Command
- BYTE	Para1
- BYTE	Para2
- VOID	Return

	EEReadValue
Retreives a value from none volitile memory
- BYTE	Address
Address to write to, Range: 0-255
- BYTE	Return

	DisplayWriteNumber
Show a number ranging from 000 to 999 on the display. Number is printed vertically.
- UINT	Value
Enter a number from 0 to 999.
- VOID	Return

	DisplayClear
Clear the display.
- VOID	Return

	BatteryRead
Read and return the voltage level of the battery in millivolt.
- UINT	Return

	LedsWrite
Set the button-leds. MSB = leftmost led LSB = rightmost led
- BYTE	Value
MSB = leftmost dot, LSB = rightmost dot
- VOID	Return

	MP3SetVolume
Sets the volume level for the MP3 module
- BYTE	Volume
Range: 0 (min) - 30 (max)
- VOID	Return

	DisplayBrightness
Control the brightness of the display.
- BYTE	Value
Enter value from 0 to 15
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Initializes all present hardware and communication. Place this at the very start of your code.
- VOID	Return
