8.1.4 PLC & Go

Microchip PLC & Go is intended to show the minimal application to be developed over the PLC PHY layer. It implements a point to multi-point chat application built on top of the PHY layer of state-of-the-art PLC protocols, such as PRIME and G3-PLC. To do this, it requires at least two PLC boards to communicate with each other.

This application offers an interface to the user by means of a command line interface (CLI) in the console. In this console, the user can send messages, view received messages and configure some transmission parameters, such as the modulation scheme.

This example uses the serial interface configured through UART/USART at 921600 bps or USB (depending on the PLC board; see the conf_board.h and conf_uart_serial.h configuration files).
