RSSI values using CC2500 + MSP430f1232

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F1232, CC2500, MSP430F2012, TEST2

I have a board using CC2500 and MSP430F1232 , sending wireless packets using RF. This board is configured in the TX (TRANSMIT) mode and successfully  transmits information every 6 seconds (i am transmitting at zero dbm level- which is almost the highest power level i can transmit information in). There exists another board using CC2500 AND MSP430F1232, waiting to receive packets. I intend to transmit and receive packets in a room with 20m * 20m area. I have followed all the necessary steps required to implement the board in the receive mode, but i do not get any interrupt on receive. The pin 0 on port 0 has been configured to interrupt on the falling edge. Can anyone help me spot the problem? i have used the following settings and my source code is attached.

PORT SETTINGS:-

// --- CC2500 Interface ---
// P1.0 <-- GDO-0 (int)
// P1.1 <-- GDO-2 (int)
// P1.2 --> CSN-CC2500                                          
// P1.3 --> CSEEPROM
// P1.4 --> WPEEPROM
// P1.5 --> UCLK
// P1.6 --> SIMO
// P1.7 --> SOMI

NECESSARY REGISTER SETTINGS:-

IOCFG2 = 0x29 (GDO-2 will be used as default to signal CHPRDY (chip ready))

IOCFG0 = 0x06 (GDO-0 asserted-low when packet received)

PKTLEN = 0x10 (Packet length is 16 bytes)

PKTCTRL1 = 0x00

PKTCTRL0 = 0x84

FREND1 = 0xB6 (Front end RX configuration.)

MCSM1 = 0x00 (return to idle after completing RX)

  • Hi Samarth,

    I only had a very quick look but I would try the following two things

    1) Make sure you also set the P1SEL correctly

    2) I don't see you enablling interrupts with the following command

      __bis_SR_register(GIE);       // enable interrupts

    Also give that a try.

    I do hope the above helps. 

    Cheers,
    Yoda

     

  • Hey thanks Yoda for your help. I am very grateful to you. I have implemented the required changes. However, I was trying to figure the problem with receiver program, I realized i should check whether the transmitter is transmitting any RF packets. I found out that it was NOT transmitting any packets. The transmitter is only transmitting the tag data when it is in debug mode. I can monitor the operation of the microcontroller in debug mode, when the FLASH PROGRAMMER (MSP-FETU430IF) is connected to the board in Spy-Bi Wire mode. But once i remove the flash programmer, it does not transfer any packet. I checked the signals using a oscilloscope and i found that there was no signal on the GDO-0 PIN.

    I followed the following procedure:
    1) I changed the project settings from 'debug' to 'release'. The release
    mode creates a .txt file containing instructions that have to be written
    to the flash memory of the MSP430F2012. the size of the .txt file must be
    withing the 2kb flash range of the device. In my case the file equals to
    around 1.641kb.

    2) the IAR workbench is not able to download this file into flash memory,
    hence i used a tool called FET-PRO430 (produced by Elprotronic). I
    managed to write to the flash memory but the same problem continues.

    3) I created a manual interrupt on the GDO-0 pin to see if the program is
    interrupting on the signals to the GDO-0 pin.

    In conclusion i can say that the transmitter is transmitting the packets
    in debug mode. Once i break connections with the flash programmer tool ,
    there are no signals on the GDO-O pin. The receiver program is working.

     

    Any help regarding this matter will be appreciated!!

     

    Thanks

    Samarth
