The Ember board

Hi all, I am a true newbie on the development kit. I was doing a simple AMR using this kit and may want to seek some basic guidance from the experts here:

1. From the Ember board (The sensor board), I can see there is 10 pins namely G,A5 A6 NC C7 C1 C6 + +. May I know the pin configuration what is that for?

2.What will be the format of the input supported by the I/O for the sensor node?

Any links and datasheets are welcomed. Thank you so much

I have no idea what an "Ember" board is, and since no one else has answered I bet they don't know either. This is a BBS for the CCS compilers on PIC processors. If you are using an AMR processor you should look for a BBS for that processor. At the very least give us a manufacturer and model number or a link to a schematic for this Ember board if you want some help.

Looks like he is working on a Zigbee wireless Automatic Meter Reader
project of some sort using the Atmel AVR processor. Normally that would
not be something we would address in this forum.

He needs to go here for Ember support:
http://support.ember.com/

The docs he needs are found here:
http://support.ember.com/training/chips_support

If he is trying to talk to the Ember board via wireless using a PIC and the
CCS compiler we might be able to help.....

Hi all:

I am using CCS Ember Wireless Zigbee Kit for my project and I have several questions that wanna seek for advice and guidance:

I will need to transfer my data into my sensor board via the user terminal block.
For the PIC 16F886, it has two oscillators, does it connected to the external timer or it can be programmed?
Beside, what does pin A5 meant for?

Can the data be accumulated as long as the C7 pin sense there is an input? Then the overall sum transmitted once the node activated from sleep mode?

While all the data from the sensor node received, can it be obtained from the terminal as it uses RS232?
What do I need to configure for that?

Sorry, I am really a newbie for the kit. Hope you guys can advice.

Thanks

CCS does not post the documentation for any of their boards,
so most people on this forum can't help you very much.
Here is the webpage for the Ember board:
