ZigBee

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430, CC2530

we are students of engineering and are working on zigbee as a final year project.we want to make a PAN using

1    coordinator

2 routers  and

2-3        end devices (sensors) forhome automation...

do suggest which module will be most suitable ????? CC2530ZDK-ZMP-MINI is part number we have checked for whether it will be satisfying our requirements or not? we have gone through CC2430 but it is too costive which one to choose??????????

  • Hi,

     

    What is the estimated budget for your project?

  • estimated budget is 150 to 200 dollars..............do suggest which one to choose we need guidance as we have to decide it fast ..reply plz

  • and also guide us to join any group on TI or any other place that will be helpful to us in deciding module ............

  • Hello,

    I think CC2530 ZNP MINI KIT is good for you.

  • but can u guide me about how we made network and have this kit any kind of end devices cuz our basic task is to auto mate a home network having sensors so we have to basically perform data acqiuisition though sensor to end device and than to router and co-ordinator and back to sensor so is it possible by using this kit

    pl

    do guide me

  • The kit comes with some sample code, so that it just form the network by itself, and you just need to manage this and add your application specific code for controlling or reading the sensors.

    It comes with some documentation that can guide you to use the code and the kit, it´s simple.

     

    I don´t work specifically with this kit but if you need some other help I can try to help you.

     

  • while going through details i go through it what does it mean

    "The CC2530ZNP-Mini Kit is an updated version of the EZ430-RF2480 that uses the Zigbee Network Processor (ZNP) firmware on the CC2530 system on chip(SoC)."

    does it mean we need CC2530 (SOC) to use cc2530  mini kit or  cc2530 can be operated alone to support applications?????????

    in figure given off cc2530   znp mini kit......which one are enddevices?? module with usb interface is to be used for pc interfacing as an coordinator??/

  • Both can be EndDevices or Coordinators, it depends on the code.

  • thanks for reply.................do tell us any other module for specifications given with in 200 USD so that we can have an alternative?????????????reply

    & do we  must need to have cc2530 kit to us its mini version or it can work independenty

  • Hey,

    You can see on this link: http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2530dk

    it´s not USD 200,00 but maybe you can find on the related links, you can check. But it´s around this.

  • hi.

    how we developed the application on CC2530-ZNP-MINI 

    e.g we wnat to interface  water level sensor to end device???

    what type  of interface is done b/w sensor and end device???

     is light n temp sensor already embedded in the kit or we have to interface sensors circuitry???              

                                      

                            regards

    Common:

    1. SPI
    2. Serial (RS-232)
    3. Proportional voltage that could be sampled by ADC.

     

    final year students said:

    I'm not really following your question, but from what I understand, the answer is SPI.

     

    final year students said:

    I highly doubt about the on board light sensor. A simply light sensitive resistor interfaced to an ADC

    through some sort of voltage divider (addition resistor) will do the trick.

    Regarding temperature sensors, CC253x devices are equipped with built in temperature sensor,

    however it's not accurate, with a minimal error of +-5 degrees Celsius.

  • thanks for answer

    can you plz give me your email address or skype id to search you as i cant describe my queries properly here.............. i would be thankful

    problem is we understood by reading  description of cc2530 zdk-mini znp that" it has built in sensors and we can not interface any sensor made by us to any of end device  is it true????????" or we mis understood it dp reply plz..

    regards

    You were right, these boards are equipped with light, temperature and accelerometer sensors.

    final year students said:
    and we can not interface any sensor made by us to any of end device  is it true????????

    This I can't tell you right away. I'll have to do a little research on it
