Attach simple remote control to CC3200?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Is there an easy way of attaching a simple remote control to the CC3200?

I'm thinking of a simple remote control with eight buttons.

    What kind of remote control? Is this like a TV remote control?

    How do you plan to interface that to CC3200 Launchpad, Is it by soldering wires to the PCB of the remote control?

  • Yes, exactly. I couldn't find a corresponding remote control yet, but it would resemble a TV remote control.

    I'd require four pairs of UP/DOWN buttons and the CC3200 should respond to these button pushes,

    I know, my question is rather blurry, but I need some point to start with.

  • From interface point of view:

    For a 8 button remote, what you need total of 6 GPIO ( 3x3) matrix which can be attached to keypad to interpret the keyboard signal. You can have the application on M4 to interpret the appropriate signal and transmit over the Wi-Fi.

    To save power, you can opt for Hibernate state of the CC3200 M4 and can wake-up the device on Keyboard press.

  • But you wouldn't know of any product to use or recommend which I could attach to the CC3200 LaunchPad?
