| This example application
demonstrates how simple it is to communicate wirelessly between different
microcontrollers all on one wireless network using the DS-FWCM (Fast
Wireless Control Modules). |
| This application
has been set up as a small sample of the FWCM’s networking power.
In fact you could wirelessly network 255 microcontrollers together! |
| In this example,
an OOPic-C*, Basic Stamp 2p** and BX-24*** are used. Each controller
is connected to a FWCM. The OOPic-C also has an SRF08 ultrasonic range
finder and the BS2p has a serial 4 x 20 LCD screen attached. The BX-24
is connected to as PC comms port running the BX24 debug window. |
| The OOPic-C reads
values from the SRF08 over its I2C network.
These readings are then written to the FWCM(1) to be sent to the BS2p
connected FWCM(2). |
| FWCM(1) continues
to send the data byte until it receives confirmation of receipt from
FWCM(2). The OOPic-C will then take another SRF08 reading and write
this to FWCM(1). |
| When FWCM(2) receives
a reading the BS2p reads the data from the FWCM(2) and prints this
information to the serial LCD module. If this sonar value drops below
a value of 30cm, the BS2p sends an alarm data value to the FWCM(2)
which sends the data onto the FWCM(3) connected to the BX-24. FWCM(2)
and the BS2p will continue to send this data until confirmation is
received that data was transferred without error from FWCM(3). |
| The BX-24 reads the
necessary data from FWCM(3) again over the I2C
network, and prints all information to the debug window on the PC
screen. |
| This example shows
how to write to different FWCM Nodes on the wireless network enabling
error free data over the wireless network, from one micro to another. |
