This can be done with one PC, but depending on the features of the selected PC, a second PC
may be required due to number of serial ports available (see Figure 2-1).
DEMO SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Hardware
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
To demonstrate the operation of the MCP2150 Developer’s Board (Secondary Device)
a Primary Device is required. The Primary Device can be a PC with an IR port
(integrated IR port or IR Dongle).
The MCP2150 Developer’s Board default firmware program has four different
programs that are selected by the state of the RD7:6 pins.
These demonstration programs have the following operation:
• Demo #1 Operation - Direct IR / UART (DB-9) Mode
• Demo #2 Operation - Data Streaming Mode
• Demo #3 Operation - Echo Data Mode
• Demo #4 Operation - IR / UART (DB-9) Pass Through PIC Mode
Each demonstration program’s operation will be described in the Demo section.
The component layout floor plan of the MCP2150 Developer’s Board (MCP2150DM)
PCB is shown in Figure 1-1 while Table 2-1 shows the hardware requirements to
demonstrate the MCP2150 Developer’s Board.
To keep the board cost low, only a portion of the MCP2150 Developer’s Board is tested.
This test covers the major portions of the system. The portions that are not tested are
shown in Appendix C. “Board Testing”.
MCP2150 DEVELOPER’S BOARD
Purpose
As a Primary Device, this device will initiate communication to
the MCP2150 Developer’s Board. The PC’s USB port will also
power the MCP2150 Developer’s Board.
Also:
The PC’s UART port will “talk” with the MCP2150’s UART
interface, while the PC’s IR port will “talk” with the MCP2150’s
IR interface.
The PC will run two instances of HyperTerminal, one
connected to the PC’s serial port (UART) and the other
connected to the PC’s IR port.
To connect the PC serial ports to the MCP2150 Developer’s
Board serial port.
To power the MCP2150 Developer’s Board from the PC’s USB
port.
This is the demonstration unit
