Regarding ZNP and EZ-MODE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to develop a system in which an end device CC2530 would send toggle signal to CC2531. And the resulting toggle signal should be displayed on Z-tool.

I used Z-Stack Home Automation Projects to get started with; Sample Switch compiled as an end device is flashed on CC2530.
I used ZNP project to compile a HEX file which was downloaded on CC2531 USB dongle.
I used the scripts provided here
https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/158/7416.8507.ZNP_5F00_examples.zip
to configure CC2531 as router light.
The Home Automation Project uses channel 11[0x0B]. The channel of router_light.zjs was also changed to 0x0B by using channel mask 0x00000800.
private var ZR_Com : String = "COM5" in the router_script was changed to COM3.
In order to convert router_light from router to co-ordinator, cfgArr[0] was changed to 0x00;
However, the pairing does not take place correctly. Since Sample Switch uses EZ-Mode functionality while our Co-ordinator light does not have this feature.
Is there any way to configure ZNP Co-ordinator light such that it support EZ-MODE functionality? Can we make any changes to script which can make it happen?

Thanks.

Hi,

Probably the easiest thing in this situation would be to disable EZ-MODE in the sample Switch and then send a ZDO_Bind request from the ZNP using Z-Tool to the switch and then the toggle command should work properly.
Also if you are planing on doing development for ZNP I suggest you take a look at the ZNP Host Framework(www.ti.com/.../TIDC-ZNP-HOST-SW3 ) which is a framework for host processors that provides all the ZNP APIs in C programming language and this allows you to easily do your development in the Host side. you can get the latest version in this repository(git.ti.com/.../znp-host-framework )

EZ-mode is a set of sequential actions of Z-Stack API and callback. If you insist using it on ZTool, I think you can do it by modify script.

Hi YK Chen,
It is strange that I'm getting error on Z-tool script window while running the scripts today. The USB is emulated as COM5 and I made sure that

private var ZR_Com : String = "COM5";
private var ZC_Com : String = "COM5";

above strings are changed to COM5. The Z-tool built-in messages are working correctly.

What does your gut tells you about this error?

Why do you put both ZR_Com and ZC_Com to COM5? I think this will cause problem to run the script.

Make sure that under "Tools -> Settings -> Serial Devices" you have the right baud rate and flow control for the device, then press OK and scan for devices, after your ZNP is discovered try running the scripts again.
