Motorola C650 with a broken screen
Thu, 2007-03-22 23:02 — omri
I've recently heared of celliax and loved it.
I started looking for suitable cellphones in my region and found a Motorola C650 with a broken screen.
Because its only use is for celliax I figured it's not so important for its screen to work.
The only problem is, do I have do change any of its settings before it can work properly with celliax?
I don't know in what condition the monitor is.
Also, I found out a motorola C350 will cost me about as much (with a working monitor though)
Would it be a better choice to purchase that one?
Thanks in advance,
Omri Bahumi.

Ciao Omri, I like your
Ciao Omri, I like your approach! So: I used a c650 to test the various things, and it works perfect for me.
I think that c350 will also works perfectly, maybe with some minor tweakings at the config file, maybe not.
So, in the interest of the chan_celliax development, I would ask you to get the c350, and if any problem (that would be little problem, indeed) arise, I promise to fix it, with your testing help ;-)

I'll see what prices I can
I'll see what prices I can get for C350, looking forward for testing celliax and reporting problems :)
I figured I will check out the protocol first, I'm a programmer myself (not much of a C guru though, I'm more of a python guy).
As I figured out, the USB interface is actually a serial interface, am I correct?
If so, I'll try to see how to communicate with it with minicom.
Also, I'm going to patch my asterisk system and not use the livecd.
I'm not really an average celliax user I guess, I'll probably have lots of feedbacks about it :)
Looking forward to working with you :)
P.S.
Is there an IRC channel for celliax anywhere?
not yet irc, but mailing
not yet irc, but mailing lists: http://www.celliax.org/support
If you want to be at the "bleeding edge" please:
svn checkout http://www.celliax.org:8081/svn/celliax/trunk celliax
As you will see, if you use asterisk 1.2.16, no need to patch, just add the chan_celliax* files you'll find in the celliax_stuff directory, and modify the channels Makefile to have them compiled in.
In the "newconfigs" directory you'll find suitable config files...
Yes, you're right the usb serial connection is seen as a normal serial connection, minicom is perfectly equivalent.
Anyway, give the livecd a try if you have time... you'll find in it all the developers things you need and more, and with /usr/local/asterisk/usr/sbin/svn_asterisk you automatically download the "bleeding edge" sources (you'll find minicom and lot of other tools too).
Ciao for now, looking to work with you.... and please, keep the promise for a lot of feedback! ;-)

I think you should open an IRC channel, every open source project has one these days.
BTW, is there a serial protocol specification anywhere? something about AT2 commands if I'm correct?
It use the AT commands or
It use the AT commands or the FBUS2 commands, the ones that are supported by the phone
Are these commands (and
Are these commands (and their syntax) listed anywhere?
for the AT command set you
for the AT command set you find lot of documentations, frirst of all the ETSI standard, and/or the technical documentation for your phone AT commands (the problem is that the various phone models do not strictly adhere to the standard).
For this there is a lot of mechanism to allow customization of commands in the chan_celliax configuration.
AT commands follow the general form:
command_sent_to_the_phone->answer_sent_by_the_phone
Like: AT->OK
But there are various unsolicited message sent by the phone that are interesting
They are the same command set you use with normal modems, with much more commands available.
The FBUS2 commands are for old Nokias, and are binary, and completely proprietary and undocumented. Their support is pure reverse engineering by trial and error ;-), based on the previous work of gnokii and gammu project.
