Wireless UART connection

Steven Arroyo

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI

All that I am looking for is a RF device that will create a wireless UART connection.  That is, UART data on device1’s RX line will transmit wirelessly to and output on device2’s TX line and vice versa.  Does TI have this solution?  

Ideally would be a device that works out of the box similar to that of Xbee devices.  Another plus would be .1" spaced headers to easily access the devices UART pins.

 

Thanks!

    Steven,

    What frequency are you looking for? This answer would then guide you to the appropriate dev kit.

    If its 868/915 take a look at the CC430 EVM kits. The come with the .1" headers that you are looking for.

    It its 2.4g, take a look at the EZ430-RF2500 kits.

    Both of these kits will run the simpliciti peer to peer network example, which would get you on your way.

    Jason,

    Thanks for the reply.  I have used the ez430-rf2500 and understand the peer to peer network example.  These devices are needed for a school project in which groups will not have time to learn Simpliciti and reprogram the device to pass data along the serial port where a Xbee will work out of the box.  Is there any software that exists that will create a "wireless UART connection" without spending time programming devices?

    I would like promote TI devices at school and feel this is a must have for quick results.
