UIDE 3. S ERIAL OMMANDS The Radio Bridge modules utilize the UART serial port for communicating payload data between modules and for configuration of the modules themselves. The serial port runs with these default settings. Table 5 Port Default Settings...
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE • “CMD”: Command Response • “ERR”: Error Message • “STA”: Status Message • “SEN”: Sensor Payload 3.2.1. “CMD”: Command Response Response from a previous AT command. For example, for AT commands that set valid parameters the host would expect the response: CMD OK If the AT command is requesting the firmware version which happens to be v1.01 the response would be:...
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE 3.2.4. “SEN”: Sensor Message The SEN message is sent whenever the module receives a sensor event. The payload of the message is defined as follows. Table 8 Message Payload Sensor Space Message Space Space Device Space Sensor Carriage 0x20...
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE 3.3. AT Command Reference This section defines the serial AT commands that can be sent to the module. 3.3.1. AT Commands All AT commands begin with an ASCII “AT”, followed by a two ASCII character command, and followed by optional parameters depending on the command.
XMODEM protocol. From the bootloader there will be a menu option to run the new firmware image and jump back to normal program execution. It is recommended to use the Radio Bridge configuration app for firmware updates. 3.3.1.7 BT – Bootloader Timeout This command changes the time that the bootloader waits for the <DEL>...
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE 3.3.1.10 DB – RSSI of last packet This command returns the RSSI value of the last packet it received. The return value is a two digit ASCII-coded hex value. Note the RBM101 is based on a Silicon Labs Flex Gecko radio. This device uses an automatic gain control on the radio that can make the RSSI reading non-linear and inconsistent as gain is added to the rx circuit.
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE 3.3.1.12 DF – Duplicate Filter Sets the window of time to filter duplicate packets. If an identical packet arrives within the window defined by this parameter, it is discarded and not reported to the host. The parameter is a 16-bit value in units of 10ms.
In the tables below, an “x” denotes a “don’t care” condition for the associated bits. See the RBM101i-319 product page on the Radio Bridge website for updated tables. Table 10 Status Bits Description...
RBM101 ADIO RIDGE UIDE 4.2. Status Messages This section defines status messages that are sent from the module back to the host over the serial port. Note that status messages do not include errors. Error messages are defined in the section Error Messages.

ADIO RIDGE UIDE The firmware images provided by Radio Bridge are signed and encrypted meaning that they cannot be loaded on other hardware, and no other firmware images can be loaded on the module through the bootloader. Note that the bootloader is a program separate from the normal operation of the device and thus no AT commands or other features will work while in this mode.
