QuickBuilder - Projects: RF communications

RF communications - addressable data receiver

Introduction
This project demonstrates the 'AM RF Receiver' sub-circuit and is intended to be used with project RFTX.QPR. Receiving data over the RF link effects a simple remote control.

The target device is a PIC16F84.

Operation
The receiver is polled until new data arrives indicated by RFRX_NOTIFY. The data is inspected and the appropriate action is taken. In this case a relay is either energised or de-energised. The device could, of course, be something other than a relay, such as a digital to analogue converter or a display device.

The ID of the receiver can be in the range 0-255 and is set by using the inputs of ID_HI_ and ID_LO_ ('4-bit port' sub-circuit').

Application code
Below is the application code for this project. To use it, select and copy (ctr-insert) the code below, paste it into a text editor and save as a 'C' file in your working directory. You may also need to change the build output path using 'Project | Options'.
