Hey Topher925. Cool thanks. It is slowly coming together...at least in principle. What's the different between the Arduino Pro Mini and the Arduino Nano 3.0. The Nano seems more capable and is about the same size (other then the obvious .1 connector posts boardering the PCB). I also...

Thanks mgb_phys. So the GSM Playground board receives and redirects the text message to the Arduino board, and then the Arduino board deciphers the text and turns on the dc motor, right? If so, the only problem is size. I need the whole system (GSM Playground, Arduino, Lithium battery, and...

Hey Topher925, First off thanks for taking the time to reply and offer some help. Yes, the idea is to be able to control this motor from anywhere, preferably with text messages sent to the device. I took a peak at the link you suggested, but I must admit all of that is over my head (I even...

Well i guess in envisioned a very small final form for this device. Say 1in x 1in x 2in long. I know that probably means a custom PCB and circuit right? But maybe I can use an existing circuit and design and shrink it down and strip away the unnecesary components/functionality.

Hey Guys, I'm a mechanical engineer (please forgive my ignorance) with an electrical engineering problem. I'm trying to control a small DC motor with speed and duration controls using a remote cell phone. I might also like the ability to receive temperature data from the motor back at the...
