DARC-II Firmware Solution
The DARC-II Firmware Solution allows ToothPIC to operate as a standalone Data Acquisition and Remote
Control (DARC) module. It is controlled by a remote device running FlexiPanel Client software, using the
Bluetooth link. By using FlexiPanel Client software, no development on the remote device is required.
Description
DARC-II is an example of a Data Acquisition and Remote Control application using ToothPIC. I/O and user
interface are configured using FlexiPanel Designer. This configuration is then programmed into DARC-II
direct from FlexiPanel Designer using Wireless Field Programming. The I/O pins may be ‘tied’ to controls as
follows:
The DARC-II Firmware Solution will be sufficient for basic data acquisition, logging and remote control. For
customized applications, the freestanding DARC-II Firmware Solution may be used as proof-of-principle.
Later, the C source code can be modified to achieve specific goals. Very often the changes required for
customizing DARC-II 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-II Evaluation Version demonstrates some of the controls and I/O available on the module:
The DARC-II Evaluation Version is a fully documented commercial product. The documentation is included in
the development kit as the file DARC-II.pdf. Follow the instructions in that documentation to execute and
explore the product.

Analog inputs AN1
• Text control driven by digital input – has separate text strings for ‘low’ and ‘high’.
• Number control driven by analog / parallel input – equals A to D value or parallel data.
• Date-time matrix driven by analog / parallel input – appends time-stamped value onto matrix.
• Digital output driven by button / image – pulses high for 50ms when pressed.
• Digital output driven by latch – on or off according to state of the latch.
• Parallel output driven by number / list control – parallel data represents number / selection.
• PWM output driven by number / list control – duty cycle represents number / selection.
