FIRMWARE DESCRIPTION
See Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 for a simple firmware flow diagram for Node A (Node B
does not contain any firmware).
1. The firmware first configures the PIC16F676 and the MCP2515.
2. The firmware then checks a global flag bit to determine if a message needs to be
3. The firmware checks a global receive flag bit to determine if a message has been
4. The firmware loops back to #2.

sent (a message containing the input button value is transmitted once every
224 ms).
2a. Node A sends a message to Node B requesting I/O status (i.e., push button
status).
received by the MCP2515. If yes, the data is read and the LED is set accordingly.
