Automatic SMS printing from Palm

A custom Palm OS application is required to automatically receive incoming SMS text messages and print them on a dot matrix printer (SP200). The custom application will likely be written in C++. An API (funSMS) is available that allows the custom application to easily send and receive text messages. The application will be used as a component of a conceptual artwork. Please refer to detailed spec "[login to view URL]" attached. ----**Functionality**---- (Please refer to zip file for complete spec) The Palm-based custom application will automatically obtain incoming SMS text messages and send them to a printer for output. It should be possible to select which elements of the incoming message are printed: - sender's number - time/date - text message (body) It should be possible for the user to modify the printer setup by changing the initialization string. It should be possible for the user to specify control characters to be sent before and after the message, and before and after individual elements. (example, line feed , bell and formatting codes. The user interface can be rudimentary. For example, the user can specify initialization and control characters in hexidecimal if this simplifies the code development. Once initiated, the application must run automatically and continuously until interrupted by the user. It may be necessary to buffer incoming messages if messages arrive faster than the printer can output. This buffer might require space for 10 to 100 messages. ----**Possible Additional Functionality**---- (Please refer to zip file) ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Please refer to attached spec for the complete description. Hardware/software setup: - Cellular Telephone - Sony Ericsson - SMS enabled - Palm V with: - PalmOS 4.1 - funSMS with fMML API - Palm Cradle - Star SP200 Receipt Printer The Cell Phone communicates with the Palm via the IR port. The Palm Cradle provides an RS-232 serial link between the Palm and the Cell Phone. **SP200 printer** is a simple dot-matrix receipt printer. **FunSMS and fMML:** funSMS is a Palm application can receive and send SMS messages through a cell phone. fMML (fun Mobile Messaging Library) provides an API that allows other Palm OS applications to send and receive SMS messages.
