I require firmware to be written for the MicroChip PIC24F series processor. The unit is made up of the following:-
2 x UART (GSM Modem + X-Bee Wireless Module)
3 x SPI Devices (EEPROM, LCD Display, Metering Device)
3 x Interrupt (2 x Function Push-Buttons, 1 x Pulse Input)
General:
The GSM Modem connect via GPRS to the server. This is bi-directional comms between the server and the device.
The X-Bee module communicates with remote devices. This is di-directional comms between the device and the remote units (Max 10 remote units)
EEPROM on the SPI bus is to hold various dynamic parameters that can be changed.
LCD Display on the SPI bus is a 16 character 2 line display. (EA DOGM162x-A from Electronic Assembly GMBH. [login to view URL])
Metering device on the SPI bus is an electricity metering device. (SA9903 from Sames)
The 2 x Push Buttons allow the user to control the display.
The Pulse Input is to be counted and stored in RAM.
A number of Tx and Rx strings are received and transmitted by the PIC micro via the GSM modem and the X-Bee module. These strings contain certain data that must be processed by the PIC Micro.
Should you express interest in this project, I will forward full specs.
