Board assemblies via the IrDA transceivers with the IrDA transceivers facing each other.
Note that this sample program will only work with the RCM30/31/32XX Prototyping
Board.
First, compile and run this program on one Prototyping Board assembly, then remove
the programming cable and press the
the first RabbitCore module is operating in the
ming cable to the second Prototyping Board assembly with the RCM3000 and compile
and run the same sample program. With the programming cable still connected to the
second Prototyping Board assembly, press switch S2 on the second Prototyping Board
to transmit a packet. Once the first Prototyping Board assembly receives a test packet, it
will send back a response packet that will be displayed in the Dynamic C
dow. The test packets and response packets have different codes.
Once you have loaded and executed these sample programs and have an understanding of
how Dynamic C and the RCM3000 modules interact, you can move on and try the other
sample programs, or begin building your own.

The following sample programs can be found in the

To set up the Prototyping Board, you will need to tie TxB and RxB
together on the RS-232 header at J5, and you will also tie TxC and
RxC together using the jumpers supplied in the Development Kit as
shown in the diagram.

PARITY.C
repeatedly sending byte values 0–127 from Serial Port B to Serial Port
C. The program will switch between generating parity or not on Serial
Port B. Serial Port C will always be checking parity, so parity errors
should occur during every other sequence.
