About Using CC1200 EM with Arduino

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1200, CC1101

Hi.

I want to communicate two CC1200 EM using SPI communication with Arduino.

I read almost all of the codes that written for CC1200 EB (MSP430 chip) but i'm not familiar these type of codes and i'm vey confused (because of reading about 5000 lines of code :( ).

Can anyone briefly (and clearly that a dummy can understand) say about how can i successfully control the CC1200 EM with SPI protocol of Arduino.

By the way, i look at this following link and the code inside it:

www.elechouse.com/.../Code.rar

To code is perfect. I understood it. But there are some differences between CC1101 and CC1200 (For example: I need an RSSI value from the board. In the CC1101 there is only one byte of info but in CC1200 there are two bytes as RSSI1,RSSI0 and some differences like that)

Thanks for your any helps from now on.

Have a nice day.

Best regards...

  • What you typically need to communicate with Arduino is the low level SPI functions. Since the CC1101 and CC1200 SPI interface is very similar you can base you SPI functions on the CC1101 code. But the addresses for the register has to be taken from the MSP code. Also when you have the low level SPI functions you can use the MSP code.
