  14. Setting up an SPPIO network I • All configurations are done by AT-commands at the UART interface! The basic steps are: • Configure one module as the PAN Coordinator • Configure all other modules as Routers or End Devices • Bind or pair devices by mapping one’s unique address as the other’s destination address • Select the UART data transmission scheme (on full buffer, end character or timeout) Radiocrafts

  15. Setting up a SPPIO network II • Configure the I/O pins to either analogue or digital • Configure the I/O port direction (input or output) • Select the I/O data transmission scheme (on events, interrupts or timers) • The Routers and End Devices will automatically associate to the network coordinator as soon as they are switched on. And all the devices will organize themselves in a mesh network with automatic routing. UART data and I/O data will then be exchanged or mapped between devices that are paired. Radiocrafts

  16. AT-command UART setup example • Entering Command Mode; +++, AT$, AT0 • Power saving modes; • Power Down: ATPD-command; (1.3uA) • Needs to re-associate when turn on again • Sleep: SLEEP_MODE parameter to 0 (<20uA) Wakes up on UART interrupt or I/O interrupt (End Device only) Radiocrafts

  21. AT-command example 1,Append I/O data • Appending I/O data to the UART; ATS27=1 (on the receiving device) • Will give UART data string; • xxxxx;DIG1;DIG2;ANA0;ANA1;ANA2;ANA3;ANA4;ANA5;ANA6;ANA7 • on the receiver side Radiocrafts

  22. AT-command example 2,Transmission scheme Setting when to do the I/O mapping between paired modules:0: on UART activity 1: on pin change 2: on interval Interval-transmissions of the I/O data (default. 1 second) Enable 1 second interval on the transmitter: ATS10=2 ATS11=25 Enable UART-appending on the Receiver: ATS27=1 Will give UART data string; xxxxx;DIG1;DIG2;ANA0;ANA1;ANA2;ANA3;ANA4;ANA5;ANA6;ANA7at 1 second intervals Radiocrafts

  25. ZigBee vs. proprietary radio solutions ZigBee is NOT the answer to all wireless communication needs due to: • Range: 120-170 meter Line-Of-Sight, indoor 10-30 meter indoors, neighbouring room (0 dBm) • Interoperability: Today only one public profile is defined (HCL) • Extensive development cost and effort with specific customer application layer • Not for data streaming (audio/video) but smaller data packets at periodic intervals • Star network (point-to-point) sufficient in most applications • ZigBee Routers is > 64k program memory ($$$) Radiocrafts

  26. Why use Radio Modules? • One single component instead of 20-60; Less logistics, rapid prototyping, proof of concept • RF knowledge limited to adding an antenna. Shielded modules, less interference. Easy mounting on cheapest carrier PCB. • Pre-qualified: CE-marking can be re-used (Declaration of Conformity) • All modules are 100% RF-tested, final product can be function-tested only (no RF production test-equipment), no yield loss in production • Simple-to-use standard UART interface: Easy connection to RS232/485 or MCU • RF-development time reduced from 3-6+ months to weeks • Total development- and production cost significantly reduced • Time-To-Market shortened Radiocrafts
