smartrf04dk Problem

I'm using the smartrf04dk kit with 433EM. at the beginning the 433EM had been detected by SmartRFstudio. after some tests and programming the smartrf04dk does not detect the 433EM module any more. i tried to update the program of smartrf04dk by SmartRF. The update is done correctly but still no EM detected. I don't think the bootloader is damaged because I can program the MCU with different program examples supplied. but each time the EM is not detected. I verified all the connections points, nothing missed or damaged. Can any body help me please for detecting the EM?

    Based on the information you provided it appears you might be having a connection problem.  There are a number of things you can do.

    1.  Try a different EM board.   It the second board works then the problem is the hardware of the EM board.  You will probable need to replace the hardware.

    2. If the second EM board does not work then it could be the devleopment board hardware or it could be a configuration issue.  It might be easier to reload the configuration settings to the original values.

  • Bijan,

    Did you ever get it to work?

    If not are you using the smartrf04dk with Ti Flash Programmer, IAR, or something else?
