BL118
Bi-directional Low Power RF Remote Control Application Boards
These simple application boards use firmware based on the BD118 remote control systems to implement a bi-directional control link. A system consists of a master board (which initiates communication burst cycles) and a slave (which responds to them). In hardware terms these boards are the same, but have different firmware loaded.
