LPRS has shown once again how the simplicity of its plug and play easy-Radio wireless solutions simplify product development and speed time to market.
Wireless modules are put to the test
USB controlled kit provides easy evaluation environment for plug and play wireless modules.
And to prove that just about anybody can cook up a successful radio link using this novel technology, LPRS has hired a professional chef to build and program working systems on its stand.
The chef in question is Managing Director Barry Gillibrand's son David, who could hardly be described as a RF expert.
Says Barry Gillibrand: "For years, manufacturers and vendors of radio modules (ourselves included) have been telling their customers about the potential of their radio systems.
But without controlling the way that data is presented to a radio system, specifications such as range and datarate are just pie in the sky.
But with easy-Radio in control it's a piece of cake".
An easy-Radio transmitter will accept most forms of standard data at the TX input, convert the data to an efficient "over-air" format then transmit the data to the matching easy-Radio receiver which will then feed the data to the user's host processor after converting it to its original state.
The system is highly adaptable, and is available from LPRS in four different ways: as a complete system with the software embedded into the radio modules; as receiver or transmitter RF modules only and easy-Radio on disc for the customer to program; preprogrammed on PIC microcontrollers; or as a software licence.
In each case, the easy-Radio software is completely transparent in use: the user simply inputs data to the transmitter, and receives the same data as output from the receiver.
Says Gillibrand: "It's easy to understand how past experience can give designers an attitude of 'Can't make radio work, won't make radio work'.
Now, with easy-Radio, it's 'Ready-steady-radio'". Request a free brochure from Low Power Radio Solutions ...
