INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE MCP215X/40 DATA LOGGER DEMO BOARD?
This chapter provides an overview of the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board and
covers the following topics:
• What is the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board?
• What the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board Kit includes
The MCP215X and MCP2140 IrDA
the system designer to implement a low-cost, wireless IR port in any application
providing support for the IrDA standard protocol stack and IrDA standard bit
encoding/decoding.
The MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate
either the MCP2150, MCP2155 or MCP2140 device in a data-logging application. The
board will communicate to a Primary device (such as a PDA (e.g., Palm™ or Pocket
PC) or laptop computer). It is intended to serve as an example to assist system
designers in developing an IrDA standard node using the MCP215X or MCP2140
device.
Though the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board ships with a MCP2150 installed,
this device may be interchanged with a MCP2155 or MCP2140, allowing the MCP2155
or MCP2140 to be evaluated.
The MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board allows alternate Optical Transceiver
circuits to be implemented and evaluated. Also there is a “wave shaping” circuit to allow
these optical transceivers to be used with the MCP2140.
Note:
If the MCP2150 is replaced by either the MCP2155 or MCP2140, the
PIC
Ensure that the demo program firmware was assembled for that PIC MCU
(the demo program uses conditional assembly to use the same source file
for the two devices). The “MCP215X” variable needs to be equated to ‘55’
or ‘40’. The MPASM™ assembler will display a message as to which device
the file has assembled for.
