RF based Remote Controls are becoming more prevalent as they enable non line-of-sight and provide bi-directional communication. A high-end remote control typically has a graphics display, a number of keys and a radio to communicate with the target devices.

Microchip’s Remote Control Demo Board (Part # DM240315-2) integrates Graphics, mTouch, USB and RF4CE into a single demo. The board demonstrates a remote populated with PIC24FJ256DA210 MCU, 3.5" Graphical TFT LCD with resistive touch screen, capacitive touch keys with plastic overlay, MRF24J40 2.4 GHz transceiver and ZENATM wireless Adapter.

The Remote Control Demo board offers the complete software and hardware including:
