Action

Defines the RC5SEND timer and WaveOutput pin.

 

 

Syntax

CONFIG RC5SEND = timer, WO=wo

 

 

Remarks

 

RC5SEND uses a TCA timer in frequency generating mode in order to create a 36 KHz carrier wave.

You can chose any available WO pin. You can also use the PORTMUX to use a different port.

You must set the corresponding pin to OUTPUT mode using : CONFIG pin statement. The pin must also be set to 1.

 

While the compiler could do all this it would need to deal with the portmux. The portmux is a great piece of hardware that allows you to chose alternative pin locations.

When the compiler performs this automatic it would not be visible to the user. So we have chosen that we leave this to the user.
