Nordic Semiconductor has announced it has launched its latest nRFready Smart Remote 3 reference design that is said to make the development of advanced Bluetooth Smart remotes as easy as clicking on a list of check box options, and so minimising time-to-market and unnecessary design risk.
Targeting remote control OEMs/ODMs and smart TV, set-top box and digital media device manufacturers, it employs state-of-the-art voice input and speech recognition control, a 6-axis motion sensing ‘air-mouse’, multi-touch trackpad technology, plus 39 developer-programmable buttons and legacy IR hardware support (to control IR-only products).
The programming wizard and underlying software are built in a modular format that has refined the developer element down to a list of check-boxes that allow every parameter of the remote to be configured and fine-tuned. This includes large chunk function decisions such as whether to employ a trackpad or motion sensing, down to specifying the number of milliseconds it takes for the remote to wake up from sleep mode.
In operation, the nRFready Smart Remote 3 reference design employs Nordic’s nRF51822 system-on-chip (SoC) and so is designed to work as an add-on for its existing nRF51 Development Kit (DK). An nRF51 DK is required to use this reference design but is not included and must be purchased separately. The add-on contains all the external sensor devices that can interface with the nRF51 DK.
Additionally, there is a complete product example remote control included in the kit which can be used directly for evaluation, testing and demonstration. All necessary firmware and host software (including support for Linux) are provided to implement a full design at both ends of the application.
