DARC-I Firmware Solution
The DARC-I Firmware Solution allows ToothPIC to operate as a standalone Data Acquisition and Remote
Control (DARC) device. It is controlled by a remote device, using the Bluetooth link, using a simple set of
serial commands. No development is required on the ToothPIC.
Description
DARC-I is an example of a Data Acquisition and Remote Control application using ToothPIC.
configured from the Remote Device.
hexadecimal format, are:
The DARC-I Firmware Solution will be sufficient for basic data acquisition, logging and remote control. For
customized applications, the DARC-I Firmware Solution may be used as proof-of-principle. Later, the C
source code can be modified to achieve specific goals such as power saving modes or faster data acquisition.
Very often the changes required for customizing DARC-I are simple and it will probably make more sense for
FlexiPanel Ltd to make these changes for you if you are not familiar with the MPLAB development
environment.
Executing the Evaluation Version
The DARC-I Evaluation Version is a fully documented commercial product. The documentation is included in
the development kit as the file DARC-I.pdf. Follow the instructions in that documentation to execute and
explore the product.
The documentation is of interest in itself because it gives an indication of important elements which should be
included in commercial products using DARC-I. In particular, note:
Customization in MPLAB
If you wish to customize the DARC-I module, you will need to modify it using the MPLAB development
environment. If you have not already done so, please study the Hello World applications.
