CC2533 RF4CE development kit

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531

I  bought rf4ce development kit  last week and I already run all the sample application project. I am doing a final work of master's degree and I have to implement an RF4CE remote control. I can not understand what new can  I implement on my application because your sample application project  does almost all. Can you help me to define what can I do with the development kit to my final work?

    Hi Jessica,

    One fun project could be to take the raw accelerometer and gyro data in the Advanced Remote, send them to an HID dongle (the ZidDongle project). Modify the ZidDongle so that it enumerates as a PS3 controller would do on a PS3. Then make sure the acc and gyro data conform to the PS3 format. This should enable you to use the Advanced Remote as an air-mouse on the PS3, and even in-game controller.

    This idea is very interesting! But that means that I need a PS3 to implement and test the project? Basically instead of convert ZID f to HID format (ZID dongle project), I will convert ZID to PS3 format? where can I find documentation about PS3 format?
    If I use ZID dongle in a TV or Set-top-box with USB input advanced remote control will work?
    Best regards

    Hi Jessica,

    I suggest you learn HID, then google PS3 for info. A bunch of people make their PS3 controller talk to their PC and other applications. This would be the other way around. If I had time to look up all this information I would have implemented it myself ;)

    The ZID dongle will work with any TV, STB or PC given that the descriptor matches and that the reports (in case of HID) match.

    In case of PS3 I believe they place raw acc and gyro data into a custom HID report. What you would have to figure out is how it is formatted, and how to make the CC2531 USB Dongle get recognized by the PS3. In addition; you would not be sending ZID over the air as this means the acc and gyro data has already been processed into mouse co-ordinates. That's why I mention <raw> data.

    Thank you very much Torbjorn!

    Maybe this project is very complex, I need to study the PSP controller and HID specification and I don't have much time. Do you have any other idea? I thought I'd create a program with graphical user interface programmed with java or any other language and make the ARC to control it, in the same way that the ARC controls media players. What do you thing about it?
