So I wasn't able to get much work done today, but rest assured I'll be back tomorrow for more updates, and a working pre-prototype portable phone, no bells or whistles, just runs on battery and call, text, and answer all from one simple, portable device.

So far today I've just been learning about the serial for the LCD display, and wiring up the buttons to test, which I plan to implement as an array for the AT commands as a number pad. As you can see below

I've got the basic setup ready, with my display figured out, my next goal is to implement the commands in a serial form when pushed. I've written a basic sketch I wrote tonight while extremely tired so its probably a little sloppy, and doesn't work, but you'll get the idea of where I'm going with it. The new file named PrototypePhone.ino is up on github, have fun and I'll see you tomorrow.
