                                 Figure 5.9           Chapter 5 / The Electronics
                                 IR transceiver schematic.


                                 The MCP2150 Connection to the PIC16F876
                                 Microcontroller
                                 The microcontroller is connected to the MCP2150 IrDA protocol stack
                                 decoder via the microcontroller’s configurable B port. The block dia-
                                 gram in Figure 5.11 shows the relationship between the transceiver,
                                 the controller, and the MCP2150.
                                 The schematic diagram in Figure 5.12 shows the actual pin connec-
                                 tions between the PIC16F876 and the MCP2150. RBO is configured as
