Warning!
To minimize risk of personal
injury or property damage, never use
rechargeable batteries to power the board.
4. Select Power Source
Locate
the
power source
header
P11
just above the
LCD on the
SmartRF05EB
Connect pins 1 and 2 if you are using
batteries to power the board. Connect pins
2 and 3 if you are using USB or external
power supply.
Once you have
set P11, find
switch P8 just
next to the DC
jack
on
the
SmartRF05EB.
To power on
the board, flip the switch fro
m “OFF” to
“ON”.
4. Packet Error Rate (PER)
When
power
is
applied
to
the
SmartRF05EB, the preprogrammed PER
test on the CC2533 will start running.
The LCD will display the screen as shown
in the picture above. The number in the
parentheses is the revision of the CC2533.
Press Button 1 to
continue.
5. Select Channel
Select one of the 16 IEEE 802.15.4
channels, with channel number from 11 to
26 (2405-2480 MHz, 5 MHz channel
spacing). Select the same channel for both
boards.
The channel number is increased by
moving the joystick in any direction.
Press Button 1 to confirm the selection.
6 Set up the Receiver
Set one of the boards to operate as
receiver. Use the joystick to select mode.
Confirm by pressing Button 1.
The receiver will now wait for packets from
the transmitter.
7. Set up the Transmitter
Set the other board to operate as
transmitter. Use the joystick to select mode.
Confirm the selection by pressing Button 1.
On
the
transmitter
node,
additional
parameters have to be set. On the next
screen, select the TX output power (signal
strength). Use the joystick to select
between -3 dBm, 0 dBm, 4.5 dBm or 7
dBm. Confirm the selection with Button 1.
8. TX: Packets and Packet Rate
Next, select burst size (number of packets
to send) by using the joystick, either 1000,
10K, 100K or 1M packets. Confirm the
selection with Button 1.
After selecting burst size, select packet
rate; 100, 50, 20 or 10 packet per second.
Confirm the selection with Button 1.
