i Need help on CC2530 zdk znp mini plz reply???

i am student of electrical engineering and working on zigbee in a project. I need guidance in regard of buying  cc2530 zdk- znp -mini .. i am working on home automation and have to interface sensors seperately (not default temp sensor etc provided in development kit) with cc2530 zdk-znp-mini...question is can we interface sensors with this module or not?? which one to choose ... because there exist seperate coordinator,router etc like zmpcc2430HP-R orC but can't decide whether they can work independently or not???

 i am posting link of zmp cc2430 datasheet do reply whether it ca work independent of cc 2430 or not????

    It is easy to add additional sensors. Both the CC2430 and CC2530 have an embedded C8051 microcontroller with GPIO pins and SPI. These are brought out on the eval boards. There are a large number of SPI compatible sensors on the market. These include accelerometers, range transducers, temp/humidity sensors, optical detectors, and so on. It is easy to bring out the SPI (MOSI, MISO, SCLK) for all of the sensors and use GPIO pins for their not Chip Selects (/CS sometimes called NSS for not slave select). With 2 GPIOs you can have 4 sensors, with 3 GPIOS you could 8 sensors.

    hi..

    May i know which sensors can be interfaced with cc2530zdk for sensing soil moisture, temperature and humidity.

    thanks.

    hi..

    how can i connect external sensors to the battery boards of cc2530zdk?

    Hello sri vytla,

    As explained in earlier post, the kit has GPIO pins of the zigbee controller coming out. You can connect your sensors to those GPIO pins. List down the sensors you have, look at the  IO interface it has then match it with Zigbee GPIO available pins and connect it.   I hope you are using CC2530ZNP kit.  The battery board has IO connector that has VCC & GND. Using this you can power your sensor, connect your  sensor's IO line ( a GPIO or SPI or whatever) to available Zigbee GPIO pins. And  write code to interact with the sensor. 

    Enjoy learning!!
