5. Programming the IS-Dev Kit-8
The IS-Dev Kit-8 communicates via RS232 with any communication software. The commands and protocol
will be explained in the sections 6 and 7.
This section covers programming the Dev Kit using the Universal Communicator.
The Universal Communicator handles all the communication protocol. Once the images are created, they can be
imported to the universal Communicator. The universal communicator allows attributes information to be
inputted. Once the images and attribute information are created, they can be downloaded to the Dev Kit. The
Dev Kit will function as programmed after the next power up or reset.
For how to use the software please refer to Universal Communicator documentation.
Creating OLED Rocker Images for Universal Communicator
The OLED Rocker display is 96x64 pixel monochrome. Images can be created graphically or by cropping from
a picture using graphic software such as Paint, Photoshop, etc. The images must be saved as 96x64
monochromatic bitmap files. The image files should be saved in a single folder. Universal Communicator
imports the files from the folder in alphanumeric order according to the file names. The file names should be
selected so the order of images will be as desired.
The Universal Communicator displays the image file names and assigned addresses for the controller. (Screen

These files can be downloaded to the controller.
