Overview
ToothPIC
microcontroller and a BlueMatik Bluetooth radio,
and is preloaded with ToothPIC Services including
FlexiPanel user interface server, wireless field
programming and ToothPIC Slave host-controlled
operation.
Application Development
There are four ways to develop an application
using ToothPIC:
1. Use a pre-compiled Standalone Firmware
2. Use the ToothPIC Slave Firmware Solution to
3. Applications can be developed in C using
4. Applications can be developed using any
Firmware Solutions, including the ToothPIC Slave,
are relatively straightforward and suitable for most
skill levels. In general, source code is provided for
Firmware Solutions so that developers may
inspect the programming techniques employed
and use them as starting-points for customized
solutions.
Development using MPLAB C18 and/or other
development systems minimizes cost but is
relatively advanced and full proficiency with the
development system is a necessity.

The Bluetooth radio used in ToothPIC is the same
component as used in FlexiPanel Ltd’s BlueMatik
and LinkMatik Bluetooth serial bridge modules.
Wireless Field Programming
ToothPIC’s wireless field programmer allows both
developer code and ToothPIC Services to be
upgraded using any Bluetooth-equipped PC.
Developers can distribute products and then at a
later date provide firmware upgrades to customers
as required.
FlexiPanel User Interface Server
The FlexiPanel User Interface server takes
advantage
interface protocol. Remote devices such as PCs,
PDAs and cellphones can connect to ToothPIC
using a freely available FlexiPanel Client software
layer. Once connected, the FlexiPanel Server tells
the remote device what controls to display on its
user interface. Both the user and ToothPIC can
then modify the user interface controls as required.
In effect, the FlexiPanel User Interface server
allows ToothPIC to provide high quality user
interfaces without incurring the component cost.
The Bluetooth link allows ToothPIC to be
controlled while remaining out of view or out of
reach, improving enclosure costs, aesthetic design
and safety.
User interfaces are designed using FlexiPanel
Ltd’s free FlexiPanel Designer software.
creates user interface specifications which are
then programmed into ToothPIC via Bluetooth or
compiled directly into the firmware.
ToothPIC is available as a surface mount chipset
to minimize labor costs for quantity production.
These can be pre-loaded with developer firmware.
