RF communications - slave transponder

Introduction
This project demonstrates the 'AM RF Transponder' sub-circuit when used as a slave. The slave transponder operates by receiving data sent over a radio frequency link from a remote 'AM RF Transponder' operating as a master. When data is received the appropriate request is carried out and the slave transponder replies to the originating master. See also project RFXM.QPR.

Operation
When RFX_NOTIFY indicates the arrival of new data, the request contained in the data is carried out. In this case when RFX_RDATA[0] is a '1' the temperature on the 'DS1820 Temperature sensor' is read and sent back to the requesting transponder.

Note: The ID of the remote transponder is automatically saved to RFX_REMOTE when the master transponder sends the request.

The ID of this (slave) transponder is set by 'PORT4BIT', which has four external connections. The ID may be anywhere within the range 0-15.

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 it as a 'C' file in your working directory.

You may also need to change the build output path using 'Project | Options'.
