MyPSP Robotics with MyGPRS: from PSP robot to PSP phone

It's been a while since we last posted about ccpspita's MyPSP Robotics project, so before we get to the update, here's a quick backgrounder. MyPSP Robotics is a software set that, as far as I understand it, is being built to serve as the "soul" of a robotic PSP.

The PSP itself will act as the brains and will be attached to a set of actuators and sensor equipment like cameras and mikes. The dev has already added a few features like voice and facial recognition to the app in the past, and now he's managed to attach a Telit GPRS module to the PSP's serial port.

This is where the project seems to branch out from the original "PSP robot" concept and into a PSP phone. The addition of the quad-band GPRS module will eventually let users make and receive calls and SMS. Here's a video showing the Telit GM862 module connected to a PSP:



Ccpspita also posted the following explanation for the video, along with a few images showing the Telit module connected to the PSP:
  • The Autobauding of the module (the first AT gives error, the second is read properly)
  • Request the firmware to Form
  • Set up by the baud rate instead dell'autobauding
  • The request of the state of SIM (present or not present, with or without PIN)
  • Sending the PIN (already registered)
  • The application for registration in network
  • The request for data on the "cell"
  • The application of available networks

Honestly speaking, a lot of the technical stuff in this project simply went over my head, but the prospect of a PSP phone is definitely very promising. Keep checking back here for updates.

Kudos to zero-one for the tip!

It s good to see people doing great improvements in our console. wow gprs is a huge step forward... I wonder what comes next, a PSP 3G maybe ?



If you manage to make this thing work flawlessly and sell them I want one. Or even better if you could teach us how to make one. it would be even cooler :)



best regards

Sounds good



Like a year ago i did have a idea similar to this, where basically instead of using a Picaxe chip for my school project, use the serial port and have the psp do it all



But there wasnt enough pinouts and i didnt have enough skills
