Making Call using XTerminal? - maemo.org

mrudulpen | # 1 | 2010-05-05, 09:34 | Report

Hi,

I am interested in making calls by sending commands on Xterminal.

Idea is to connect N900 using ssh to my ubuntu machine and send commands from ubuntu machine to n900 so that it can make calls.

I would also like to do the same using usb connection, where in my n900 is connected to ubuntu machine using usb(PC suite mode) and I send command from ubuntu to n900, it(n900) initates a call as a result.

Regards

Mrudul

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$YOURNUMBERHERE" uint32:0

you can also use the ofono stack:

I've often wondered if you can use dbus commands to get the most recent SMS ("Conversations") messages as well.

Check out http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control - lots of xterm commands for doing all sorts of things

Hi,

I tried giving the command on x-terminal and i get following error "Error com.nokia.csd.Call.Error.InvalidAddress: Create call: Invalid Address Error"

I am giving command as follows -
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$0404848048" uint32:0

(NOTE: I have changed the number but the number length kept is same.)
I tried the same on serial port from my ubuntu machine using ATD command it works fine.
for eg: ATD 0404848048;

I have tried using python script and that also gives same error.
Here is the python code -
====mycall.py========

import gobject, dbus
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop

def place_call(number):
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
csd_call = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('com.nokia.csd',
'/com/nokia/csd/call'),
'com.nokia.csd.Call')
csd_call.CreateWith(str(number), dbus.UInt32(0))

DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
place_call('0404848048')
gobject.MainLoop().run()

====mycall.py========

Can someone point to me what is going wrong here?

That code worked fine with me. Remove the "$" from the string with the number in the dbus-send command on your terminal and see if it works better. I did some modification to implement a little dictionary, new code:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import dbus, sys

def place_call(number):bus = dbus.SystemBus()
csd_call = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('com.nokia.csd', '/com/nokia/csd/call'), 'com.nokia.csd.Call')
csd.call.CreateWith(str(number), dbus.UInt32(0))
s = sys.argv[1]
ar = ['name1', 00000000, 'name2', 00000000, 'name3', 00000000]

if s == ar[0]:place_call(ar[1])
elif s == ar[2]:place_call(ar[3])
elif s == ar[4]:place_call(ar[5])
else:print "Sry, mate"

Had to write the adove code off from the N900 so there might be some typos, but you get the idea.
