Post by thread:[EE]: MCP2150 help please

Hello Guys! Anyone knows how to make the MCP2150(InfraRed Controller) works ... is it possible to build 2 boards containing MCP2150 and PIC then they can communicate with each other !?... schematic,code(C or Asm) will help alot ... thanx in advance.

Salah, Look on Microchip's web site for their "MCP2120/MCP2150 DEVELOPER'S KIT USER'S GUIDE." This contains a schematic of their MCP2150 developers kit which might ba a good starting point. Also check out AN758 on Microchip's website. Is the MCP2155 worth considering? Richard {Original Message removed}

Hi Salah, I am just starting on a project that uses PIC16LF877 and MCP2150 for a client. They breadboarded the MCP2150 to a Vishay IrDA transceiver module and established connection with a PC IrDA port as simple as that. The chip is very easy to use. You can send/receive data to/from your micro at one of 4 baud rates selected by pins, that is, 9600, 19200, 57600 or 115200 baud. This is not the IrDA baud rate, which is determined by all the smart protocol stuff inside the chip when it establishes a link. There are no registers to setup in the MCP2150, just connect it up ot your UART Rx & Tx pins and send it data. All the necessary IrDA stuff is taken care so when a link is established data flows transparently. You do have to monitor the CTS line to see when you are allowed to send data. -- Brent Brown, Electronic Design Solutions 16 English Street, Hamilton, New Zealand Ph/fax: +64 7 849 0069 Mobile/txt: 025 334 069 eMail: spam_OUTbrent.brownTakeThisOuTclear.net.nz -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

> is it > possible to build 2 boards containing MCP2150 and PIC then they can > communicate with each other !? <snip> Don't know the answer to that one yet. Would be nice to think that two MCP2150s would talk to each other but I suspect they may not. Maybe that's why they have a MCP2155 device which they say is for DCE applications wheras the MCP2150 is for DTE applications? -- Brent Brown, Electronic Design Solutions 16 English Street, Hamilton, New Zealand Ph/fax: +64 7 849 0069 Mobile/txt: 025 334 069 eMail: .....brent.brownKILLspam@spam@clear.net.nz -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
