Development Board Micrchip DM160214
The lighting communications main board is the core of the Lighting Communications Development Platform.
Detailed Description
It uses a PIC16F1947 microcontroller to run the user interface, LCD control, 4-color LED drive and the various communications protocols. By changing the firmware and plug on the adapter, a number of lighting communication protocols can be implemented, such as DMX512A and DALI. For DMX512A protocol use DMX512A Starter Kit, and for DALI protocol - use DALI Starter Kit.

To utilize the communications platform, a minimum of (2) main or (2) prototyping boards and (2) adapters are required – connected via appropriate cabling (eg. RJ45 patch cable, DMX512A 5-pin barrel cable, or DALI 2-wire). The communication platform is compatible with commercially available DALI/DMX512A products and can be integrated into existing lighting networks during development or utlized with multiple communication platforms to simulate large lighting networks.
