Step Action
Place both devices on a flat surface about 25 cm (10”)
apart, with the IR ports facing each other.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
Ensure that jumpers are configured as in
On the PC:
Run the IrDA Demo.exe program.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
Insert the 9V battery into the battery holder (BT1) or
plug a 9V AC-to-DC power supply (such as those
supplied with some Microchip development tools) into
the 9V DC connection plug (J2).
You may need to depress the RESET switch if the
LCD does not display the Microchip program revision
information and then the directions for demo program
selection.
On the PC:
If the PC is configured to show the IR icon in the
system tray, a single IR LED will be displayed.
Place the mouse cursor over this icon.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
Depress Switch 2 (SW2).
In the IrDA standard demo PC program window:
Depress and release the Connect button.
On the PC:
If the PC is configured to show the IR icon in the
system tray, the single IR LED icon will change to an
icon of two IR LEDs facing each other talking.
Place the mouse cursor over this icon.
VENDING MACHINE DEMO - WINDOWS
2.7.3.2
After saving the AN941 application program to your PC’s hard drive, the program
needs to be launched. This PC program communicates with the MCP215X/40 Data
Logger Demo Board. Section 2.7.3.2.1 “Steps to Operate the Vending Machine
Demo - Windows XP” discusses how to operate the vending machine demo, while
Section 2.7.3.2.2 “Steps to Operate the 250-byte S -> P Data Transfer Demo -
Windows XP” discusses how to operate the 250-byte Secondary device (S) to Primary
device (P) data transfer demo.
2.7.3.2.1

On the PC:
The program is searching for an IrDA standard device.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
The green power LED (D10) will turn on, the DTR LED
will be on, while all the other UART flow control
signals (CTS, RTS, CD, RI and DSR) are off. The
RD7, RD6, and RD5 LEDs will also be on.
The LCD will display the firmwave Revision
information and then the firmware program selections.
In the IrDA
The program should indicate that it has found an IrDA
standard device, called “Generic IrDA”.
On the PC:
The message “Generic IrDA is in range” will be
displayed; “Generic IrDA” is the device ID of the
MCP2150.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
This causes the vending machine program to be
executed.
In the IrDA standard demo PC program window:
Once the connection is made, the program window
will be updated to show that the Connect button now
is called the Disconnect button.
On the MCP215X/40 Data Logger Demo Board:
The CD LED will turn on, and the CTS LED will flash.
This indicates that an IR link has been established
between the PC and the demo board.
On the PC:
The message “Wireless link with Generic IrDA at
115200 bps” will be displayed. This shows that a link
is now established for data communication and that
the IR communication rate is 115200 bps, the baud
rate that was negotiated between the PC IrDA
standard hardware and the MCP2150.
