Wireless Heart Monitor with Bluetooth Low Energy

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-00096, CC2541

Hi,

I have recently come across this: http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00096

1) Has this design been tested?


2) I really need to know whether I will get some support to duplicate this design. I see there is gerbers provided and also the firmware. While trying to install the iOS app, I found that I need to have a developer's account. (It says in the document, that I must add the UDID of the device and this requires a developer's account).

3) What do I need to flash the firmware for the C2541?

  • Anyone please could I get some help with my post? I have to make a quick decision and some active assistance will be very helpful. Any community member/ applications engineer could take a look,please?

  • Hi Shmk,

    The design has been tested but it's made by a team outside the CC254x support team so the support for this particular design is limited to the CC2541. TO get support on the surrounding parts, there is probably a better forum.

    To flash the CC2541, you would need a CC Debugger.

  • Hi Joakim,

    Thanks. I am interested in getting a BLE based wireless link working. Basically I need it for a number of applications and one of them is ECG from proprietary sensors.

    As a first step, I need  to have a demonstration unit which can achieve a simple task of transmitting a test signal (say, from a signal generator, low audio frequency, <50 Hz or something).

    Could you suggest a bunch of stuff I can order from TI to do just that?

    If you look at : http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_MSP430_Bluetopia_Basic_Demo_APPS

    Do you provide sample application with some graphical interface to visualize the transmission of the data? I'd be very interested in such a a solution because then I can make a really strong case for ordering lots of stuff in future too.

    A quick response will be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Shmk,

    I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the details regarding this particular solution. Please note that Bluetooth low energy protocol is not designed to transmit continuous signals. It's designed for low power, which implies that it sleeps per default, only waking up every 100ms or so (actual spec limits are 7.5ms-4s). 

    I suggest you download the BLE stack, www.ti.com/ble-stack, and read the included documentation. For the rest of the solution, I can not give you any advice myself.

    Hopefully someone else can.

    Best Regards

    Joakim
