CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1310: Device documentation

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1310
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1350, CC1310

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am using the CC1310 launchpad with the goal to connect to the CC1350 SensorTag and wirelessly collect accelerometer data. Is there any available documentation on how to read/write to specific registers and collect time-stamped data? I am new to these devices and seem to be running in circles trying to figure it out.

  • Hi, we have a few examples showcasing what you are looking for. Check out the "Meet the CC1350 Launchpad" page here:
    dev.ti.com/.../
    Use the Sensortags as nodes instead of launchpads, described in "Meet the CC1350 SensorTag":
    dev.ti.com/.../

    For the Launchpad Concentrator, use this project:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    and for the Sensortag Nodes, use this project:
    dev.ti.com/.../
  • Thank you for sharing these resources! Do you know how to increase that data rate for the sensor data and what the fastest data collected rate is? Also, is there a way to save this data with a time stamp in a file (e.g. .txt or .exl)?
  • Hi, as these examples are based on the EasyLink protocol, you can use EasyLink commands to set frequency, datarates etc...
    Check out this Wiki for a description:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../SimpleLink-EasyLink
    The CC1310 can run 4Mbps in high speed mode (868/915 band).

    If you go for the above, I would recommend this training:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    Also, check out a tool called SmartRF Studio for easy Tx/Rx configuration of your device, here you can to evaluate various phy's up to 500kbps.

  • Hi Fred,

    Thank you for these resources. They are helping my make progress on my project. I was looking at the "Basic RX and TX" training in the resource explorer as well as the one you recommended and noticed that they both require 2 launchpads. Since I'm looking to use sensortags, I was wondering if you knew if it were possible to use 2 sensortags and 1 launchpad for these projects. At first sight it does not look like its possible for the WSN example because the sensortags do not have the same files in the resource explorer but the Basic RX and TX example looks good. Do you have any insight on the cross functionality of these devices?

    Thank you. 

  • The CC1350 is basically a CC1310 with the ability to also do 2.4 GHz so all code for CC1310 should also run on CC1350. If an example doesn't exist for the SensorTag it should be possible to start from an existing example for the SensorTag (to get the correct board files etc) and copy/ paste code over from an example you would like to use.
  • Hi Mark, in regards to the SimpleLink Academy Basic RX and TX training: yes - you can use the CC1350 SensorTags. In -fact that's a good point, the training should mention the SensorTag as well.
    Regarding 1310 vs 1350: The training states: The lab can be performed using either CC1310 or CC1350 LaunchPads.

    For task 2, use the rfPacketTx example for CC1350 SensorTag instead of CC1350 Launchpad:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    ..and the same for Task 5, use rfPacketRx for CC1350 SensorTag:
    dev.ti.com/.../

    This will ensure that board files are correct.
