IrDA (EB012, MCP1250, MCP2120) component
Low level routines for controlling a standard IrDA interface. Also available in the form of the EB012 IrDA E-block.
Examples
Transmit
Basic example which repeatedly transmits a string of data via the IrDA interface.
IrDA Transmit
Receive
Basic example which waits for any incoming data and then displays the data on the LCD.
IrDA Receive
Downloadable macro reference
SendChar
Sends a byte character to the IrDA connection.
Parameters
- INT Char
Return value
- This call does not return a value
ReceiveChar
Receives byte character from the IrDA connection.
Parameters
- INT Timeout
- Max amount of time in milliseconds to wait for data.
Return value
Initialise
Initialises the UART ready for IrDA data to be sent or received,
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Simulation macro reference
This component does not contain any simulation macros
Property reference
Interface
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name INTERFACE.
Decides which IrDA interface IC we wish to communicate via.
Baud Options
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::BAUD_LIST.
Baud rate option selector
Baud Rate
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::BAUD.
No additional information
Data Bits
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::DBITS.
Number of data bits
Echo
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::ECHO.
Echo selection
Channel
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::CHANNEL.
UART Channel selector
Software channels are bit banged using generic I/O pins but are not as reliable as hardware channels.
Hardware channels use the selected peripheral on-board the target microcontroller.
TX
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::TX.
Pin to be used for Transmit data
RX
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::RX.
Pin to be used for Receive data
Use Flow Control
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::FLOWEN.
Flow Control (Handshake) enable or disable.
On: Two I/O pins are used to control the flow of data in and out of the device.
Off: Flow control is disabled.
Label
This property is of type Line of text and can be referenced with the variable name label.
Label used to help identify the component on the panel.
Scope Traces
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::ScopeTraces.
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not.
Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace.
ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD.
Console Data
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::ConsoleData.
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
Console Columns
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::ConsoleColumns.
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console.
Data Source
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_uart::DataSource.
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices
Nothing - Simulation data is ignored
COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port
Injector - Routes the communication data via a data injector component on the Panel.
