RE: xAP and how to interface to a Pic Micro?

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

The main 'bible' you will need is the xAP v1.2 spec document
available here..

http://www.xapautomation.org/modules.php?name=xAP_Content&pa=showpage&pid=xa
pcurrent

There are a couple of people who have implemented xAP on a PIC, take
a search back through this list and also the xAP Developer list for 'PIC'
and I think it will pull out the posts. I have done some work on the Rabbit
in C and Ian has used the Atmel processors. In addition Patrick did some
work on a PIC xAP library - I am not sure how evolved that code is but I
believe it is quite efficient at under 1K in size so that would be very
helpful as a starting point. What are you programming the PIC in ??

The tools to connect the PIC to the PC - ie a PC based bridge
program I think are already available again with one of Patricks
applications. Depending on the volume of data you envisage sending, the
serial link speed and on which network transport the other devices will be
located you might want to apply some filtering to the bridge
implementation.

Kevin
