CC2500: Could use some help set up radio registers for maximum range. Speed not important.

Part Number: CC2500
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2510

I have an old CC2510DK-MINI development kit that came with two small SmartRFCC2510 Rev 1.0 transceiver boards.   When one set to be master and the other as slave they have an amazing range of 300 Meters. 

Apparently the CC2510 is a chip with a built-in 8051 micro and a CC2500 radio.

I am trying to replicate the range with two CC2500 transceivers but am not able to get anywhere close to the same range as the SmartRFCC2510 boards.

I do not know how to read the radio register parameters out of the SmartRFCC2510 boards.  If someone could help me with the register information I could program them into the CC2500.

Thank you in advance,

Bert van den Berg

    Hi,

    Use SmartRF Studio program (download the latest version from TI Website) to generate the Register Settings for CC2500 and use it in your program. You need not connect the board to the Computer to generate the Register settings. If you want to test the boards then you need to connect the boards to the computer.

    Open the SmartRF Studio, go to 2.4GHz Tab, Double Click it on CC2500 Icon. It opens up Device Control panel. Select Expert mode, check Register View and RF Parameters boxes, which are located on the top of the page. Then Click it on First Setting (Data Rate: 2.4KBaud....Optimized for sensitivity) under Typical settings section then change the Required frequency. Then Click it on  Register Export button to export the Register settings. You can use these Register settings in your program.

    Thanks,

    Dear PM,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I have found the C code for the CC2510 simple radio and working through that to find out how they got such excellent range.

    Regards,
