Step Action
Place both devices on a flat surface about 25 cm (10”)
apart, and with the IR ports facing each other.
On the System #1 Unit (IR Dongle):
Connect Serial to IR dongle to PC. Ensure that device
supports the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.
On the PICDEM™ FS USB Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Insert the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board
into the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board.
Ensure that the jumpers are configured as in
Figure E-6.
On the PICDEM FS USB Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Apply power to the unit via the 9V power supply.
On the PICDEM FS USB Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Depress and release the RESET Switch (S2 – MCLR).
On the PC:
Wait for the PC system tray shows an IR icon. Placing
the mouse over the icon will show the MCP2150

On the PICDEM FS USB Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
The “IR Link” LED will turn on and the “CTS” LED will
strobe rapidly and then return to the normal rate.
On the PC:
The system tray icon will change from a single IR icon
to two IR icons facing each other. An IR Link is now
established.
On the PC:
The HyperTerminal window will display an “aA”.
On the PC:
The typed alpha character will echo where the case
has changed; lowercase -> uppercase and
uppercase -> lowercase.
On the PC:
The IR icon in the system tray will show that the link
has been disconnected.
Note:
The 00077 - HPC.asm program only
expects to receive 1 byte per IR packet.
