Hi, I am using puck as central controller and I need to send AT serial commands to a 3G modem. Is this possible ?

Yes, it should be fine. There's an AT command library to make it a little easier: http://www.espruino.com/AT

Something like this should do it:
```
Serial1.setup(9600, { rx:..., tx:... });
var at = require("AT").connect(Serial1);  
// at.debug();
// Send command that returns multiple items
at.cmd("AT+FOO\r\n", 1000, function cb(d) {
  if (d===undefined) ; // we timed out!
  console.log(d);
  if (still_waiting_for_more_info) return cb;
});
```
Do you want to use the internet connection from the 3G modem, or just the ability to send text messages?

There's a module for SIM800/900 that'll do full internet connectivity, and that could probably be modified pretty easily for your particular 3G modem as well: http://www.espruino.com/SIM900

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
