Example Applications
2.2.1
app_slicekit_simple_demo
This application has the following features:
·
module_i2c_master from the xSOFt ip library is used to access the external ADC,
which is equipped with an external linearised thermistor circuit for temperature
sensing.
·
simple code to print the recorded temperature to the XDE debug console on the
press of one of the Slice Card buttons
·
simple code to cycle through the 4 LEDs each time the other button is pressed.
·
demonstrates use of XC select statements for handling multiple concurrent
inputs
·
demonstrates basic usage of XCore ports
2.2.2
app_slicekit_com_demo
This application extends the simple demo to provides the following functionality
(all options are dynamically reconfigurable via the APIs for app_slicekit_com_demo
application):
·
·
Baud Rate: 150 to 115200 bps
·
Parity: None, Mark, Space, Odd, Even
·
Stop Bits: 1,2
·
Data Length: 1 to 30 bits (Max 30 bits assumes 1 stop bit and no parity)
