RF control kit for STM32W108xx microcontrollers
Introduction
The STM32W-RFCKIT low-cost RF control kit is an easy-to-use tool for STM32W108xx RF
microcontrollers. This family of microcontrollers integrates a 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M3
microprocessor and a 2.4 GHz, IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceiver. The kit demonstrates
plug and play 2.4 GHz RF point-to-point communications targeting general-purpose
wireless control systems.
The STM32W-RFCKIT RF control kit provides demonstration applications and
documentation which serve as a reference for creating your own applications and re-
programming the STM32W108xx microcontroller.
You can run the STM32W-RFCKIT RF control kit in several ways using the dedicated
software libraries (Simplified MAC, ZigBee RF4CE and ZigBee PRO). This kit provides
access to a set of straightforward HAL APIs enabling application engineers to easily develop
RF control capabilities such as LEDs, serial communication channels (virtual COM through
USB), MEM enabled pointers, etc. Moreover, thanks to the flexibility of STM32W
microcontrollers, developers will also be able to use the kit with other available protocol
network libraries: MAC based, RF4CE, ZigBee PRO or 6LowPan.
