This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 22nd. You are encouraged to work in pairs on this assignment.
Problem #1
Part 1: Driver Functions
This picture is taken from the following Web site: http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/nec.htm .
It depicts part of a broader protocol for sending commands over infrared communication between a remote device and a receiver (consumer electronics device).
You will notice that to send a '1', the remot actually sends a 560 us burst of a signal with a frequency of 38 KHz, followed by a gap with no activity with a duration of 2.25 ms - 560 us. (1 sec = 1000 ms, and 1 ms = 1000 us)
Similarly, to send a '0', the remote sends the same burst of 26 cycles of a 38KHz signal, followed by a shorter gap of 1.12 ms - 560 us.
Write two 6811 assembly functions that can be used to send a 1 and to send a 0 following the above protocol. One function will send a 1 and will generate the waveform shown in the first half of the figure above. The second function will send a 0 by generating the second half of the waveform shown above.
Part 2: Experimentation
Insert the code you have found for the previous part in the program below.
Assemble the program by hand.
Enter the program by hand in the kit, put one probe on the Q output of the flipflop you are using for this test, and take a picture of the waveform showing that the ASCII code for 'A' is indeed sent over the LED.
You may have to modify the program to make it send 'A' repeatedly, over and over...
;--------------------------------------------------------------------
; SendAsciiNEC.asm
; takes the ascii code stored in the byte variable data and sends it
; to output port at address 8000, which we assume is connected to an
; infrared LED.
; The protocole used is that of the NEC corporation, and fully described
; in http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/nec.htm .
;
; All 8 bits are sent, one after the other.
; The program returns to the monitor when finished.
;
; The starting point is at label Start.
;
org 0000
saveB FCB 0 ; variable to save AccB in
data FCB 'A' ; ascii code for 'A'
;--------------------------------------------------------------------
; MAIN PROGRAM
; All 8 bits stored in byte data are sent, one after the other.
;
org 0010
start: ldab #8 ; get ready to send 8 bits
loop: ldaa data ; get byte to send
anda #1 ; get the least significant bit of Acca
cmpa #1 ; is it 1?
beq send1 ; if so go send a 1
jsr SendZero; if not, send a 0
jmp testEnd ; go to end of loop
Send1: jsr SendOne ; send a 1
testEnd: ldaa Data ; get data
lsra ; shift Acca 1 bit to the right
staa Data ; save it back in data
decb ; decrement AccB
cmpb #0 ; is it 0 yet?
bne loop ; no, still more bits to send
jmp C000 ; done, return control to Monitor

; SendOne: sends a '0' to the InfraRed LED at Port Address
; 8000 using the NEC protocole presented at
; http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/nec.htm .
; ACCB is not modified by the procedure.
; ACCA is very likely modified by the procedure.
SendOne: stab saveB ; save AccB
; your code goes here

ldab saveB ; restore AccB
