This kit is the same as the ELK-MK400, less the Magic Module™ (ELK-MM443). It's for Magic Module™ owners that need to edit a Magic Module™ program. This kit contains hardware and software for creating, editing, and downloading Magic Module™ programs using a personal computer.
Item # ELK-MK485
Programming:
Magic Module™ programs are transferred from your PC to the Magic Module™ using the PC's serial port and an RS-232-to-RS-485 Data Converter module (ELK-MB485) . Once programmed, the Magic Module™ can be disconnected from the PC for stand alone applications. All programming is stored in non-volatile memory.
Basic setup for programming a Magic Module
The Magic Module™ connects to the ELK-MB485 Data Interface through the included 4-pin ribbon cable. The ELK-MB485 connects to your computer through the included 9-pin serial cable. Both units are powered by the included 12V DC power pack (ELK-P1216).
Program Editing:
Program your Magic Modules™ using either the ELK Application Writer / Code Editor Programming Languages. Both programming editors are available on the CDROM included in the Starter Kit.
ELK Products, Inc. Development Software:
The ELK Application Writer was designed to allow non-programmers the ability to program and utilize many of the home automation features of the Magic Module™ simply by clicking buttons in the Application Writer editor. This allows quick programming and customization of a very powerful and inexpensive home automation system .(For Elk-MM443, MM447 controllers)
The ELK Code Editor is a Basic-like language compiled into code bytes that the microprocessor reads and executes through a built in operating system. This programming environment is familiar to experienced programmers. (For Elk-MM443, MM447, MM220 controllers)
