CC2538DK: I don't find the way to transmit via zigbee the data that the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD measures.

Part Number: CC2538DK

Hi everybody!, I'm working in a little proyect of my university that consist in make tests about the energy quality. I have to my disposition these devices:

One-Phase Metrology with Enhanced ESD Protection Reference Design

CC2538 Evaluation Module Kit

I worked succesfully with the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD, I can read the measures of energy in the display and the GUI in my computer but in order to progress in my proyect I have to send those measures through Zigbee.

I think that I can use the CC2538 as transmitter when it's conected in the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD (the user guide of the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD says this but with a CC2530, I'm assuming that I could do the same with the CC2538), and the other CC2538 (maybe conected with the SmartRF06EB) as a reciver.

The user guide says that the CC2530 should be flashed with code to act as a transmitter, so my question is, where I can find that code? I have to program it? If so, exist some kind of tutorial to learn to do it? The user guide of the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD says that both, the transmitter and the reciver should work in 2.4-GHz, with 115.2 kbaud. I belive that this must be something easy to do, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone help me with this? Thank you in advance.

  • Hi,

    The software for this design is located further down the page, here:

    I assume this is provided only for the CC2530 platform, so it would need to be ported to CC2538. Also, you will want to verify that the pinout of your board is compatible with the CC2538EM, the CC2530EM does use the same board connectors but you will want to verify that they are actually pin compatible.
  • Thank you for answering but in that Zip file I only found the code for the TIDM-1PHMTR-ESD (The folders inside are: emeter-ng and the emeter-toolkit) but they are not for the CC2530 or the CC2538. I was reading the information of the Z-Stack 3.0 (Z-Stack OTA Upgrade User’s Guide, Z-Stack 3.0 Sample Application User’s Guide and the Z-Stack 3.0 Developer’s Guide), but I think that is not exactly what I'm looking for my project. Can you tell me if I'm missing something?
