ERF connection to shield base
- Thread starter jinx
- Start date
I am not aware of any plans for a Shield Base which would support direct on-board connection of an ERF module.
For traditional (non-programming) wireless communications an ERF can be connected via a Shield or direct to the to-Shield headers.
For wireless programming an ERF can be connected to the H2 and H3 configuration links - single flying wires with 0.1" header sockets on the ends would be ideal for doing that.
It may also be possible to cut tracks from the PICAXE to the to-Shield header pins, link Serial In (RXD) and Serial Out (TXD) to those header pins and connect an ERF via a Shield using those connections.

noticed that in the image " thats how it is in the manual
can I do away with the 10k resistor and jump the VTS to 0v

hi,
I just published a case for the erf on TGVhttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:499057 its as basic as it comes

serout from the erf to the computer with the erf on the shield and a couple of jumpers
able to program the 14m2 aswell found a test piece of code from hippy in another thread
now to work out how to get the terminal window to send a value to the erf
able to program the 14m2 aswell found a test piece of code from hippy in another thread
Code:
#picaxe 28X2
#no_data
#no_table
#terminal 9600
;
setfreq m8
low C.1 ; NB! ensure ERF RX is held low
; even when not used in this program
main:
Do
Pause 2000
SerOut c.7, N9600_8, ("Hello ", #w0, CR, LF )
w0 = w0 + 1
Loopserin serout test the 28x2 receives a value of the key press and returns the value into the terminal
Code:
; ERF RX to PICAXE TX (C.1)
; ERF TX to PICAXE RX (C.7)
; ERF CTS to 0V
#picaxe 28X2
#no_data
#no_table
#terminal 9600
;
setfreq m8
main:
Do
pause 10
serin c.1,N9600_8,b0
gosub sendback
loop
sendback:
SerOut c.7, N9600_8, ("Hello ", #b0, CR, LF )
return
