The Reliable Low-Cost Radio Packet Controller is built around an AT90S2313 microcontroller that’s programmed entirely in BASCOM-AVR Basic. When interfaced to a host controller, it enables reliable half-duplex serial RF data communication among a maximum of 15 devices in a simple, low-speed radio network. The modular design allows RPC characteristics to be easily adapted to suit other applications like RF repeaters, data loggers, transponders, and remote controllers.
