Blinky

Blinky

The Blinky demo is the simplest of the VSCP hardware + firmware demos that are available. The blinky demo have

• Implementation on different hardware platforms with different transports.
• Level I and Level II.
• Registers.
• An MDF (Module Description File).
• A DM (Decision Matrix).

The setup is VERY simple and all the hardware that can meet the following can implement the Blinky demo

• Have a LED.
• Have a button that can send events when pressed.
• Have a counter that is updated at a millisecond interval.

Functionality like registers, events and decision matrix functionality is built around these hardware functionality.

What a Blinky device do

• You can communicate with the device using one or several of the VSCP supported transports.
• The device will send heartbeats to show it is available.
• The device has registers that make it possible to control.
• The device has a decision matrix so dynamic control can be setup.
• The device has a button that can send events.
• The device have a LED that can be controlled, blink, on, off.
• The device have a counter that can be read and written.

This may does not seem to be as much but the functionality is intentionally kept low to make implements understandable.
