ZStack SerialApp using

Cray
Prodigy 70 points

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530

Greetings to everybody! I need some tips about using subj. I have 2 SmartRf04EB boards with CC2430EM on them. I run them under SerialApp application - one module as Coordinator, other as Router. Please, explain me, step by step, how i must use SerialApp example, because i need to transfer data (files) from one PC to another OTA using HyperTerminal.

    Hi,

    Please see the document 'Z-Stack Sample Applications.pdf' which describes the SerialApp in section 3.

    Basically you will need to start 2 hyperterminals on the PC and connect the SmartRF04EB's to the PC with serial cables. The hyperterminals must be set up with baudrate 38400. Then build and download the Coordinator configuration to one node and Router configuration to the other. Then first power up the Coordinator, and after the router. Bind the applications by pressing joystick right on both nodes. Then you can type in one hyperterminal and you should see the same in the other hyperterminal.

    Thank you =) Can i form a network using this application? for example to send files to different nodes from queue on PC connnected to coordinator?

    Hi,

    I think the SerialApp was designed for data transfter between 2 nodes at a time. However you can transfer to another node also by binding another node after the data transfer is done.

    How can I perform binding/unbinding programmatically? Can i use routers in this application just like retranslation node to route packets to bind node... ? Thanks =)

    Yes, you can have routers in between the binded nodes that will route the data to the destination node. In this application the binding request is done on a key press event, but it can also be done other ways e.g. controlled from a PC program.

    I'm also working with zstack 1.4.2, you know
    because you can not use SerialApp to 19,200 bauds?

    Hi Bjørn

    I have the same problem with CC2530 + SmartRF05.

    Do I need modify the SerialApp? Or just build and load it without modification via IAR?

    I just have one RS232 cable and I like to send command via hyperterminal (such as Teraterm ) and see it again in the same  hyper terminal (Echo). Unfortunately the RS232 cable light the red LED when I send a command from teraterm. does it mean communication failure?

    How can I understand the coordinator and end point are connected? the green LEDs will turn on when I press two joystick to the right side. Does it mean they are connected via Zigbee?

    Regards

    Bamshad
