Step Action
Place both devices on a flat surface about 25 cm (10”)
apart, and with the IR ports facing each other.
On the System #1 Unit (IR Dongle):
Connect Serial to IR dongle to PC. Ensure that device
supports the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.
On the PICDEM™ HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Insert the MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board
into the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board.
Ensure that the jumpers are configured as in
Figure D-3.
On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Apply power to the unit via the 9V power supply.
On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
Depress and release the RESET Switch (S2 – MCLR).
On the PC:
Wait for the PC to make a sound and the system tray
shows an IR icon. Placing the mouse over the icon will
show the MCP2150 Device ID (“Generic IrDA
On the PC:
Open the HyperTerminal
Primary Device (such as COM 7).
Ensure that the window indicates that the
HyperTerminal program is connected.
On the PC:
In the HyperTerminal program window, type a
character.
On the PC:
After each 250 byte transfer completes, another
character may be typed in the HyperTerminal program
window.
Step 9 may be repeated.
On the PC:
“Disconnect” the HyperTerminal program window for
the Primary Device (such as COM 7).

On the PICDEM HPC Explorer Demo Board plus
MCP215X/40 Developer’s Daughter Board:
The “IR Link” LED will turn on and the “CTS” LED will
strobe rapidly and then return to the normal rate.
On the PC:
The system tray icon will change from a single IR icon
to two IR icons facing each other. An IR Link is now
established.
On the PC:
The HyperTerminal window will display 25 rows with
8 alpha numeric characters.
On the PC:
The typed alpha character will cause a 250 byte
packet to be transferred back to the PC. The
HyperTerminal window will display 25 rows with 8
alpha numeric characters.

On the PC:
The IR icon in the system tray will show that the link
has been disconnected.
Note:
The 00077 - HPC.asm program only
expects to receive 1 byte per IR packet.
