cool bluetooth gadgets

What sets the Sound Step and Sound Step Recharge from other sound docks is that it allows remote streaming of audio, coming from Bluetooth-enabled gadgets directly to the speakers. Both speaker docks support Bluetooth Class 2.0 Stereo A2DP protocol that enables transfer of broad bandwidth for high digital music quality up to a range of 33 feet. The nifty wireless feature allows you to use your iPad, iPod, or iPhone to write e-mails, browser the web, listen to music, watch movies, and play games while simultaneously enjoying your favorite music over the Sound Step speakers – now that’s multitasking!

Is it possible to capture stream of 32 bits from 16F74 PIC with arduino?

The line seems to be CBUS, or at least the stream is for an LCD display which is being driven with PCF2111C.

The PCF2111C takes in following signals:

CLB Clock burst input (CBUS)
DLEN Data input enable
DATA

So, I want to capture this stream of 32 bits between 16F74 and PCF2111C.

Any example code available? I have been trying to find this kind of code, but all seem to capture one word which is 8 bits long.

If this is not possible, I might be able to capture the bits I need from PCF2111Cs output (parallel, takes 16 IOs...), i only need 16 bits from that stream that would be usable for me (they drive certain parts of the LCD screen). But if there is any other way to get that whole stream to arduino it would be great..

Help Smiley

Thanks.
