Wireless communication between a PIC and a PC or PDA

[Ima_P]

Hi,

The wireless communication between a PC and a PDA (using the Mobile Module) is not very difficult; nevertheless, Is possible the comunication between a PIC (witch sends data using a wireless antenna) and a PC or PDA?

Thanks,

Hi Ima_P,

It is possible and very easy to program PDA with the LabVIEW Mobile module but it is not so easy to program PIC microcontrollers (and necessary to use 32bits PICs), so before try to implement a wireless communication between PICs and PCs, just be sure you can program your PIC.

LabVIEW has 3 different modules to program microcontrollers: LabVIEW microprocessors SDK  which program any 32bits microprocessors; ADI Blackfin Processors to program Blackfin microprocessors and ARM Microcontrollers to program microcontrollers ARM (ARM7, ARM9 and Cortex-M3)

In addition, there is a module for MULTISIM you can use to program PIC microcontrollers.

Thanks for the valuable info is there any info that how to program or use XBEE module ICs with Labview

Hi Ima_P,

There aren't many information about this. In fact, I have just found two forum threads:

Xbee using labview?

Comunication with xbee using labview

I hope this help.

Remenber kudos those who help!!

Thanks for your answer.

I want try to communicate a LPC2138 (an 32-bit ARM microcontoller) with a PDA using bluetooth. Thanks for the information, if I have any results I will post them in this post. If somebody has done something similar and wants to help me, I will be grateful .

Thanks,
