My idea is to simplify the realisation of PC controlled microcontroller
projects. For that I have implemented a very small RPC mechanism which can
connect a PIC16F84 to a PC. Please visit my homepage www.btxtech.com and
give me feedback. Download is free.

Hi to all. Thanks very much for your interesst!

You are wrigt. There are lots of gabs in my homepage... I will work on it...
And lots of informations are on the wron place (Release limitations)


The motivation of BTXrpc:
Writing a driver for the parallel port is definitly exhausting. And, if you
got the driver, your applifation isn't finished.

A little sample...
You want to control a multicolor LED with a PC (3 way PWM). You don't want
your Pentium to generate the PWM (spend too much of CPU time). So a very
cheap PIC drivers the LED.

Wath you have to implementate:

Implement the PWD part on your PIC
Implement the GUI on the PC
Let the BTXrpc handle the connection betweeen the PC and the PIC.

In this case the PC is the client and the PIC the server.

Parameter passing is also possible. At the moment just bytes (unsigned
chars) are supported. The direction can be IN, OUT and INOUT.



I hope someone will try it J

OK that works.

But.



1) How can you hook an interrupt?

2) How can you call a procedure on the PIC with sending a byte to the
Parallel Port?



Cheers
