6.3 Running the Demo Application
The following are the steps to run the demo application:
- Configure the two wireless nodes such that one of the wireless nodes, for example, Node A, initiates a connection and the other node, for example, Node B, waits for the connection request.
- Connect two Bluetooth wireless nodes, Node A and Node B.
- Send and receive data strings between two nodes over Bluetooth.
The LCD on the PIC18 Explorer board displays the sequence of events happening in the background, such as initializing, scanning/inquiring/discovering of nodes, connecting and more; then, enables the user to operate the board using the interactive messages. The user must respond to the Yes/No questions in the display LCD by pressing the S1 and S2 hardware push buttons.
Note: The application demo requires the
configuration of one Bluetooth wireless node (Node A) to initiate/inquire a connection,
and the other wireless node (Node B) to wait for the connection request in Discoverable
mode.
The following two figures illustrate the complete cycle of the application demo.
