ZigBee module
Project definition
Main task is to create universal ZigBee module for Wireless Sensor Networks. Our objective is to design a cheap and reconfigurable WSN platform for various processors(Atmel, Texas Instruments, ARM7 and etc). Currently, we are implementing our first design of main board with AVR ATmega88 processor and Freescale MC13192 radio.
Developing phase - postponed
22.10.2008 1320XRFC RF successfully connected to LpcEurobot (LPC2119) and code is ported for LpcEurobot.
supported commands:
- Radio initialization
- Send predefined message
- Receive random message
- Selecting radio channel
- Energy detection
10.2008 Project is postponed for long-term.
10.2008 Code is successfully ported to main MCU - LPC1219 ARM7 and is added some features for better portability. New microprocessor can communicate with 1320XRFC RF daughter board without problems.
6.2008 Bought 1320XRFC RF daughter board from Freescale. link
11.2007 We have made several update to radio board. Now we can receive messages in 4cm distance from transmitter. Base on the consultation on Department of Radio Communication we found problem in antenna. Also is created portable radio
7.2007 Original software from Anteeno is not working for our radio module.
6.2007 New design of radio module - fixed several bugs in inter-connection of MCU and Radio.
3.2007 First layout is soldered but it is not working due to bad crystal resonator.
x.1.2007 I am finishing PCB design, which is copy of MiniBee from Anteeo systems (see link below).
Results
- 1320XRFC RF connected to LpcEurobot (LPC2119 ARM7)
- Sending and receiving messages
- Simple stack portable to various MCU platforms
- Documentation of source code
