Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F280049C, CC2650, LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1, SIMPLELINK-CC13X2-26X2-SDK
I want to use the boostpack BOOSTXL-CC2650MA with LAUNCHXL-F280049C to achieve wireless communication between two LAUNCHXL-F280049C boards. The TI BoosterPack Checker says that these boards should be compatible. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the SPI communication and would appreciate some help. I would like to ask:
1. The manual of CC2650MA says I need the MPS432 (MSP432P401R) launch pad kit to use the example and (I guess) to program CC2650MA. I am quite confused here. Is it a must or highly suggested for me to get the MPS432 kit to use it? Can I use other launch pads instead? I already have plently boards of LAUNCHXL-F280049C and other DPS as well.
2. I guess, after pluging BOOSTXL-CC2650MA on LAUNCHXL-F280049C and sending the data to the SPI pin, I shall be able to receive data on another BOOSTXL-CC2650MA. May I know how to do the handshake such as setting password? Do I need to somehow program the CC2650MA as well? Truly thankful if you can provide some examples or procedure.
3. It would help a lot if there are some tutorial videos or manuals. It should be my problem, however, I barely found useful materials after a long search.
4. I picked BOOSTXL-CC2650MA as other boostpacks seem to be uncompatible. However, would it be more reasonable to use other communication protocals like Zigbee? I am not very sure about the differences in terms of delay and data rate. The maximum communication distance should be no more than 2 metres and shall not be a problem.
Many thanks for reading this post and helping!
