Abstract :
A new generation of remote control to be used with an implantable neural stimulator is described. The device incorporates a Motorola 68HC805C4 microcontroller, a data encoder, an AM modulator, an alphanumeric LCD, a keyboard, and a RS-232 line driver. PEPU (processeur externe pour prothese urinaire) was developed to miniaturize the existing controller based on an IBM-PC-compatible computer. The present software version of PEPU can control all the prostheses made with the MA4200 integrated circuit
