The main development board is
programmed using either a conventional
in-circuit serial programmer or bootloader software. The loader software is
supplied with the development kit.
Bootloading enables you to
program your hex file over a serial cable connected to your PC. The bootloader
software is designed to integrate with the
Proton Development Suite. |
IR is one of the most talked about subjects on the
Proton Compiler Forum.
Many of the questions asked time and time again are answered in detail by the
documentation included with the Proton IR development system. The documentation and
worked examples guide you as you understand what IR is, how it's used and how to
make it work for you. Topics include:
- Programming the Proton IR and how the programming cradle works.
- What is Infra-Red (IR) light, including sending and receiving a signal.
- Receiving IR on a Proton Development Board, including receiving and
transmission circuits
- The history of IR
- SONY Serial Infra Red Control (SIRC) protocol
- Philips RC5 protocol - very useful for allowing the use of a multitude of
handsets
- Standard serial data
full circuit diagrams are also
provided to allow you to build your own or include the circuit in your own
designs.

Two IR modules are supplied with the development board, the picture to the
left shows one of the modules connected to the main IR cradle. The main board
can be configured as a transmitter or receiver.
You can use the other module to communicate with your own custom board, or you can
communicate directly with the proton
development board. |
For UK customers, this kit
is supplied with a PSU.
If you are an overseas customer, the PSU will not be shipped with your order.
