Introduction

This project intends to implement an information transaction between Zilog Z8 Encore! Microcontroller Unit and a cell phone via Bluetooth connection. Once the communication is established, user is allowed to send a command from cell phone to the Z8 to request some information, e.g the temperature. The Z8 MCU is supposed to be used as a countdown alarm and string displayer as well.

Project Description
Functionality: 1) Z8 Side a) Z8 has physical connections with Bluetooth module, temperature sensors and speaker; b) Z8 reads temperature data from both two sensors; c) Z8 is implemented as a countdown timer. When the time is up, the speaker sounds as an alarm; d) Z8 displays string with LED arrays; 2) Cell Phone Side a) Cell phone runs J2ME application to discover the devices in the certain range with Bluetooth; b) Cell phone connects to the target device; 3) Communication a) Cell phone detects the Bluetooth module that links to Z8 MCU and asks for connection by sending a passkey 0000; b) Z8 receives the passkey and reminds user there is a connection request which is supposed to be answered by pressing switch 1 (sending answer key Z8BT); c) When connection is established, cell phone is supposed to send a string or a command to Z8; d) Z8 displays strings with LED arrays or answers the requests from cell phone.

Software

5.1 Z8 Side The program starts with waiting for connection request. When there is a request being received, the program verifies the request string. If the string is correspondent to the default, Z8 sends an answer to cell phone to establish the connection. Then receiver of UART1 keeps waiting for the data. When the string is received, program checks the string whether a command or a string received. If the data starts with command mark ~, validate the following bytes to find out if it is a valid command or not. If it is a string, display it on the LED.

Summary

This project is a highly practical example for integrating the software and hardware technologies. The concept of this project is not only focusing on the temperature capturing, but also many utilities in the regular life. I really hope it can be helpful for the public services in the future.
