This version is discontinued. A newer and better version (v2) is available. Please use the newer library. (https://github.com/abhra0897/msp430_cc1101_energia_v2)

CC1101 MSP430 Energia Library

  • (last updated: 13th October, 2018)

  • (What's new: MSP430G2553's P1.7 couldn't read its level when set as MISO. It's solved in this update .see "changelog.md" file)

Note

This repository is a fork of Josiah Hester's (Jhester) CC1101 Library for MSP430 on Energia framework. Initially the library only supported the FRAM series MSP430 launchpads: EXP-MSP430FR5739, MSP430FR5969, and MSP430FR6989. Unfortunately it didn't support EXP-MSP430G2 Launchpad that incorporates MSP430G2553 MCU. So, here I have added support to MSP430G2553 MCU by modifying the pins.h file. It should also work with any MSP430G2x53 and MSP430G2x13 MCU. ( Maybe it will work with MSP430G2452 too? )

Original library by jhester: https://buffet.cs.clemson.edu/vcs/u/jhester/cc1101-energia/

Supported Frequencies

  • 433 MHz (default)
  • 868 MHz
  • More to come. Hold tight.

Supported Launchpads/MCUs

  • EXP-MSP430FR5739
  • EXP-MSP430FR5969

Use the data_rates.py script to determine your data rate register settings. Or use the provided table and index in the source files.

Check the examples for basic usage.

This library supports low power sleep mode (draw of 200nA).

Download

Download this repository to your computer using git:

git clone https://github.com/abhra0897/MSP430-CC1101-Energia-Library.git

Install

Put this folder in your Energia libraries folder. Restart Energia. Then load the examples from "File->Examples->CC1101" (note you need two radios to test functionality, a reciever and a transmitter).

Pinouts

For each launchpad, reference this pin description image of the CC1101. The proper orientation is with the antenna facing to your right, with the text "RF1100SE" in the correct orientation.

API

All methods below work, and have been tested.

//Enable or disable debug output to serial terminal
//Go to cc1101.h to modify
#define DEBUG_TRUE 1    /*debug output enabled by default*/
#define DEBUG_TRUE 0    /*This will disable it*/
Debug output starts and ends with the function name. Example:

[DEBUG] ----- START functionName -----
[DEBUG] Any action done in the function..
[DEBUG] ----- STOP functionName -----


// Initialize pins, set default registers for CC1101
void Init(void);

// Go into receive mode
void RxOn(void);

// Go into IDLE mode (draws around 2mA)
void Idle(void);		

// Turn off crystal oscillator and go into deep sleep (draws around 200nA)
void Sleep(void);

// Wakeup from deep sleep
void Wakeup(void);

// Send a data buffer
void SendData(uint8_t *txBuffer, uint8_t size);

// Send a data buffer and return without waiting for confirmation
void SendDataNoWait(uint8_t *txBuffer, uint8_t size);		

// Set the data rate from one of the builtin choices:
// rate_ndx=0, 499.590 kBaud
// rate_ndx=1, 249.795 kBaud
// rate_ndx=2, 153.252 kBaud
// rate_ndx=3,  76.626 kBaud /* This setting works well, and any data rates below it */
// rate_ndx=4,  38.313 kBaud
// rate_ndx=5,  19.355 kBaud
// rate_ndx=6,   9.288 kBaud
// rate_ndx=7,   4.644 kBaud
// rate_ndx=8,   2.322 kBaud
// rate_ndx=9,   1.161 kBaud
// rate_ndx=10,   0.969 kBaud
void SetDataRate(uint8_t rate_ndx);


// Set the transmit power from builtin settings
/* powrset_ndx=0 -- 10 dBm */	 // 29.1 mA
/* powrset_ndx=1 -- 7 dBm */	 // 24.2 mA
/* powrset_ndx=2 -- 5 dBm */     // 19.4 mA
/* powrset_ndx=3 -- 0 dBm */     // 15.9 mA
/* powrset_ndx=4 -- -10 dBm */	 // 14.4 mA
/* powrset_ndx=5 -- -15 dBm */	 // 13.1 mA
/* powrset_ndx=6 -- -20 dBm */	 // 12.4 mA
/* powrset_ndx=7 -- -30 dBm */	 // 11.9 mA
void SetTxPower(uint8_t powrset_ndx);

// Set radio frequency from the available options
// freq_ndx=0 -- 433 MHz
// freq_ndx=1 -- 868 MHz
If SetFrequency() is not called, 433MHz is default frequency
void SetFrequency(uint8_t freq_ndx);

// Set the channel to transmit on, RX and TX must be on same channel
void SetLogicalChannel(uint8_t channel);

// Sets the maximum size of the packet (upto 61)
void SetMaxPacketLength(uint8_t pkt_length);

// Gets MARC state for debugging.
// Check Figure 25 in CC1101 datasheet to relate the output to the state diagram
uint8_t GetMARCState();

// Returns true if packet received
uint8_t CheckReceiveFlag(void);

// Receives data into buffer
uint8_t ReceiveData(uint8_t *rxBuffer);

// Returns the last SPI state byte
uint8_t GetState(void);

// Gets the received signal strength indicator
int8_t Rssi(void);

To do

"while(SO_IS_HIGH());" is causing infinite loop sometimes, hence they are commented out some places. Maybe adding pull down resistor to SO (MISO) will solve it?

I am working on this lib to add support for all the frequncies. I hope more updates are coming soon.
