Troubleshooting
It doesn’t work
•
First, measure the supply voltage at P13, pin 3. Should be 3.0V.
•
Make sure that a jumper is installed or an ampere meter is connected between pin 3
and 4 on P13.
•
Is the supply voltage correctly polarized? If not, the protection diode will prevent any
current from flowing. + and – are indicated on the PCB, on the DC jack, the tip is +
and the ring is –.
•
Is the battery eliminator plugged into the wall socket?
•
Was the wall socket plugged in first, then the DC-jack to ensure quick rise-time on
VCC? If not the module may have to be reset after power on. Press the RESET
button.
•
Is the wall outlet at the rated voltage printed on the AC/DC battery eliminator (220V or
110V)?
•
Is the module programmed with the proper firmware? If not use the TI / Chipcon
SmartRF04EB DEBUG interface to load the firmware.
I cannot communicate with the RC2300 UART through the serial port
•
Make sure that the RXD and TXD jumpers are inserted
•
Make sure that you are using a correctly wired 1:1 cable (as the one provided with the
kit)
•
Make sure the PC (or host) is configured for the correct serial port
•
Make sure the PC serial port settings are correct with respect to baud rate, data bits,
stop bits, parity bits and handshake
