How to make a remote control project using the RC5 protocol
In this
month's Knowledge Exchange
we explain the basics of the RC5 remote control protocol. An example
program and simple circuit diagram demonstrate how to implement remote
control using a MIAC and a low-cost, universal remote control handset. The
RC5 decoder software is interrupt driven and can be easily imported into other
user programs to meet the requirements of a large range of control and
switching applications. This example can easily be converted to run on any chip supported by Flowcode.
“RC5
is a communications protocol developed by Philips for infra-red remote control.
It is in common use with many domestic appliances, and is available as an
option in most programmable handsets…” read more

MIAC CAN bus pack
MIAC (Matrix Industrial Automotive Controller) is a low cost industrial grade
control unit which can be used to control a wide range of different
electronic systems including sensing, monitoring and automotive. Each MIAC unit is fitted with an internal CAN bus interface which
allows a control network, over 500m, to be easily formed from the three
units using simple twisted pair wire. Click here for more information.

SRF02 ultra sonic range finder with I2C interface
This Knowledge Exchange
article was created by our Forum user "Harry Tuttle" who will receive £150 in Matrix products of his choice. The article looks at using a SRF02 I2C
range finder module which can digitally measure a distance in
centimetres, inches or microseconds using an ultrasonic ping.
"The SRF02 and it’s similar siblings
provide simple and affordable range finding in a small package. The default
address of the SRF02 can be changed allowing up to 16 devices to be connected
to the same two wire I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus ..." read more

HP299 FlowKit
The FlowKit ICD tool is a great new way of debugging your
Flowcode
V4 embedded programs. Basically if Flowcode V4 can target
the hardware like E-Blocks or MIAC then the FlowKit ICD tool can debug it.
Remember, this great ICD tool is built into our EB006 Mulitprogrammer V7. Click
here to read how to use it.
FlowKit is designed to work with
Flowcode for PICmicro from version 4.2 and AVR
from version 4.
To take advantage, contact
your dealer.
