    SWRU261A     December 2012   CC1101EMK 868/915 MHz Quick Start Guide   Opening the box and using the modules with SmartRF04EB  1. Kit Contents     2 x CC1101EM-868-915 2 x W5017 Pulse Antennas   The hardware in this kit is FCC/IC certified and  complies  with  ETSI/R&TTE  over temperature from 0 to +35°C.   The W5017 whip antenna from Pulse has a gain of 2 dBi. 2. How to use the modules  The  CC1101EM  boards  can  be  plugged into  several  development  boards  from Texas Instruments. Most notably, you can use SmartRF04EB, which is included in the CC1101DK,  or  the  SmartRF  TrxEB (included in CC1120DK). These boards let you  run  a  packet  error  rate  (PER)  test, control  the  device  from  SmartRF™ Studio and  it  can  be  used as  a  general  purpose development platform.  The  board  can  also  be  plugged  into  the MSP430  Experimenter’s  Boards,  both  the MSP-EXP430F4618  and  MSP-EXP430F5438.  For prototyping with other microcontrollers, plug  the  EM  into  the  “SoC  Battery Board” (www.ti.com/tool/soc-bb).   This  guide  will  show  how  to  use  the modules together with SmartRF04EB.  3. Plug EM into SmartRF04EB    Insert a CC1101EM (EM) with an antenna into  the  SmartRF04EB  (EB).  The connectors will only fit  in one position,  so that the EM cannot be inserted the wrong way.  Caution!  The  kit  contains  ESD  sensitive components. Handle  with care  to  prevent permanent  damage.  To  minimize  risk  of injury,  avoid  touching  components  during operation if symbolized as hot.  4a. Power: Battery    There are three different ways of applying power to the EB:  The first  method involves using a  battery, for  instance  a  9V  battery  (not  included  in the kit) connected to the connector on the bottom side of the board.  Warning!  To  minimize  risk  of  personal injury  or  property  damage,  never  use rechargeable batteries to power the board. Do  not  leave  the  EVM  powered  when unattended.  4b. Power: DC/External    The  second  method  applies  DC  power (max 10 V,  min 4  V, 1500  mA) using  the DC input jack (right in picture, centre is +, sleeve is ground), or by connecting a 4 - 10 V voltage source between the 4 - 10 V and 0 V terminals of the power connector (left in picture). It is also possible to connect a 3.3  V  voltage  source  between  the  3.3  V and  0  V  terminals.  The  on-board  voltage regulators  will  be  bypassed  if  the  3.3  V input terminal is used.  4c. Power: USB    The EB can also be powered from the USB bus.   Note that there should only be one active power source at any one time 5. Set Power Switch    If a 3.3 V source is used as described in 4b above,  the  switch  should  be  set  to  the leftmost  position.  For  all  other  cases,  the switch  should  be  set  to  the  rightmost position. This switch can be used to turn off the  EB  by  switching  it  to  the  opposite position of that used to turn it on. 6. Packet Error Rate Test    When  power  is  applied  to  the  board,  the PER  test  program  will  start.  You  should see  the  text  shown  above  on  the  LCD display on both evaluation boards.   Press  the  button  marked  S1  (lower  right corner) to continue. 7. Set Frequency Band     Select  the  desired  frequency  band  of operation  by  using  the  joystick.  The frequency  should  match  the  evaluation module and antenna you are using.  Note that the value shown in the display is also the selected value. There is no need to press a button to select or activate  the selection.
  8. Set Network ID    Push  the  joystick  down  to  display  the screen shown above. This lets you set the ID  of  the  node  in  case  you  need  to  run several PER tests simultaneously and you have multiple development kits. Leave this set to 1 for now. 9. Packet Length    Push  the  joystick  down  to  display  the screen shown above. This lets you set the length  of  the  packets  to  be  transmitted. The packet length will affect the measured packet error rate. Push  the  joystick  left  or right to select  the packet  length you want to use. 10. Number of Packets    Push  the  joystick  down  to  display  the screen shown above. This lets you set the number  of  packets  to  be  transmitted.  Set this to the desired value using the joystick.  11. Select RF Settings    Push  the  joystick  down  to  display  the screen shown above. This  lets you select preset  RF  configurations,  including modulation and data rate Preset 0: GFSK, 1.2 kBaud Preset 1: GFSK, 10 kBaud Preset 2: GFSK, 38.4 kBaud Preset 3: GFSK, 250 kBaud 12. Select Mode    Push  the  joystick  down  to  display  the screen  shown  above.  Use  the  joystick  to select  master  mode.  The  EB  you  have configured  now  will  be  the  master  in  the PER test.  13. Configure 2nd EB    Perform steps 3 through 11 on the second EB.  Push  the  joystick  down  until  you  get the display shown above. Leave this EB in slave mode.  14. Start PER    Push the  joystick  down on  both  EBs,  and the screen shown above is displayed. Push the joystick right on the slave EB first, and then push the  joystick right on the master EB. The  PER test  will  start when the  two nodes have successfully connected.   Note  that  the  PER  test  uses  10  dBm  as default output power, so the EBs should be placed at least 1m apart to avoid saturation of the receiver. 15. Run PER Test    The  uppermost  line  of  the  LCD  will  show the  PER  for  packets  transmitted  from  the slave to the master, while the second line will show the PER for packets transmitted from the master to the slave.   The PER test will end when the number of packets you selected in step 10 is reached or if 100 consecutive packets are lost. 16.

It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per theuser guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, andenvironmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contacta TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of thespecified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/orinterface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to theload specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperaturesgreater than 60°C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components includebut are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using theEVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, pleasebe aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
