Hello,
I am working with a children's toy that uses a cc1101 chip for sending messages back and forth. To satisfy my intellectual curiosity, I am building a device to interact with it using a LaunchPad with CC110L Boosterpack. I have used the Wireless Test example out of Energia and that all works great. I have taken apart the toy and tapped the cc1101 chip and ran a logic analyzer (Saleae) to get the initialization of the register settings. I created a new profile in the A110LR09.c file with these new register settings. Running the wireless test program, I can send and receive packets no problem. The problem is when I transmit with the toy, I don't get any packets in the RX buffer (hence the LaunchPad doesn't register any packets). I have confirmed that the frequencies line up using a Spectrum analyzer.
How can I troubleshoot this further? Is there a way to essentiall turn on "debugging" to see what the machine state is that is processing the incoming signal? (Through the Preamble/SYNC stages?)
