WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY & SENSORS
ANR022 - Radio module cross migration guide
the whole network (broadcast). Furthermore, both radio modules provide the repeater function,
that allows to setup a flooding mesh network, where all messages are distributed throughout
the whole network.
In the
sub-GHz proprietary module
a so called "address mode" is configured to define which
network structure is used. The Thyone-I always runs a star network, but provides several
commands for the radio transmission of broadcast, multicast and unicast messages.
4.2.3.2 Radio settings
The radios of the
sub-GHz proprietary module
and Thyone-I are different, but have the same
options. Both contain
•
The so called "radio profiles" that allow to define the radio data rate and the resulting
transmission range.
•
The radio channels that define the frequencies that are used to transmit data via radio.
•
The TX power that define the transmission range and current consumption when trans-
mitting.
Thus, the behavior of both radios is the same, except of the used channel and data rate, and
the resulting range and current consumption.
4.2.4 Timing
Due to the higher data rate of the Thyone-I radio profiles, the time to transmit radio data is
shortened w.r.t. the
sub-GHz proprietary module
. Thus, the accelerated timing behavior
must be considered in the application.
4.2.5 Power saving modes
Both radio modules provide at least one sleep mode. It can be enabled by sending the respec-
tive command to the radio module. On both modules, the
WAKE-UP
pin is used to leave the
sleep mode again and enable the normal operation.
4.2.6 Boot mode
Both radio modules provide a so called "boot mode", that must be entered to enable the
firmware update via the UART interface. The boot mode is started by pulling the
BOOT
pin of
the radio module to the respective pin level during the reset. To do so, the level of the
BOOT
pin must be
•
LOW on the Thyone-I.
•
HIGH on the
sub-GHz proprietary module
.
