RUNNING THE DEMOS
This demo board can interface to any Primary device that implements the IrCOMM
9-wire “cooked” protocol layer. Some typical Primary devices include:
1. Palm PDA
2. Pocket PC PDA
3. Laptop PC with IrDA Standard Port
To communicate with the MCP2140 IrDA Standard Wireless Temperature Sensor
Demo Board, these devices must run a terminal emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal
For the Palm OS
about Online and the setup of this application, refer to page 23 of Application Note 858,
“Interfacing the MCP215X to a Host Microcontroller”, or go to the Mark Space web site
(www.MarkSpace.com).
Microchip has not evaluated any Terminal Emulation programs for Pocket PC OS
devices at this time. Refer to Section 2.4.1 “Alternative Primary Device Programs”
for an alternative Primary device program.
For a Windows
“virtual port” that HyperTerminal needs to connect to that allows it to use the IR port for
communications. This driver is called IrCOMM2K and is available at
www.IRCOMM2K.de. Please evaluate this product before installing onto your system
to ensure that it will meet your requirements.
Microchip does not imply any suitability to your system requirements of any of these
3rd-party products. Please evaluate each product’s specifications and requirements
before installing onto your system.
Two step-by-step examples for this demo will be presented. Section 2.4.2 “Using a
Palm PDA or Equivalent as the Primary Device” shows the steps using a Palm PDA,
while Section 2.4.3 “Using a Laptop PC as the Primary Device” shows the steps
using a Windows
2.4.1
Microchip also has some example Primary Device programs that could be used to
demonstrate the MCP2140 IrDA Standard Wireless Temperature Sensor Demo Board.
These programs were not developed for this demo board and may not display all
modes of operation in a straight-forward manner (such as the “Transmit Temperature”
program). These programs are discussed in the following application notes:
• For Palm OS - Application Note 888, “Programming the Palm OS
• For Pocket PC OS - Application Note 926, “Programming the Pocket PC OS for
• For Windows XP - Application Note 941, “Programming Windows
Appendix F. “Using AN888 Program with a Palm™ PDA” shows how to use the
Palm PDA and AN888 to demonstrate the demo board. The operation for the Pocket
PC and Windows XP applications are similar and are discussed in AN926 and AN941.
