Examples

DALI Master Example, reads the value of a keypad and sends out DALI commands based on the key pressed, 1 = switch on a slave's light, 2 = switch off a slave's light, 3 = read the slave's light level. DALI Master Example1 DALI Slave Example, listens for DALI messages and checks that the group is correct before attempting to process the request and if required reply to the master.

- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Sets up the UART and does some housekeeping. Must be called before calling any of the other component macros.
- VOID	Return

	Properties
	Connections
	Channel
UART Channel selector Software channels are bit banged using generic I/O pins but are not as reliable as hardware channels. Hardware channels use the selected peripheral on-board the target microcontroller.
	Baud Options
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
	TX
Pin to be used for Transmit data
	RX
Pin to be used for Receive data
	Use Busy Pin
Controls if we are monitoring the busy pin or not. Used by the IfBusy component macro.
	Simulations
	Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not. Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace. ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD.
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
	Console Format
Controls if the data is shown as a log with time and date stamps or just as raw data
	Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console.
	Data Source
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices Nothing - Simulation data is ignored COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port API - Routes the communication data via a data API component on the Panel.
	API
Selects which API component to route the communication data via. Add API components to the panel before they will be available in this list. API components are available from the Comms component category.
