Long-range Handheld Transmitter Button Assignments Figure 9: OTX-***-HH-LR8-PRC Button Assignments Initial Setup Several boards are included with the Development System that are intended for different use cases: 1. Two Remote Control Demo Boards for bi-directional operation and range testing 2. One Programming Dock to demonstrate use of the Command Data Interface with a PC.
Page 13 Installing or removing a Carrier Board while power is Warning: applied could cause permanent damage to the module. Either turn off power to the board or unplug the USB cable before installing or removing a Carrier Board There are two Remote Control Demo Boards that are populated differently. Board A has the buttons on the right column and board B has them on the left column.
Page 14: Using The Programming Dock
Using the Programming Dock Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Programming Dock as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Programming Dock with a Carrier Board Connect a micro USB cable into the connector at the top of the board. Plug the other end into a PC.
Page 15: Using The Remote Control Demo Board
Using the Remote Control Demo Board Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on each Remote Control Demo Board as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11: Remote Control Demo Board with a Carrier Board Insert 4 AAA batteries into the holders on the back of each board, connect antennas and turn on power.
Page 16 Range Testing Several complex mathematical models exist for determining path loss in many environments. These models vary as the transmitter and receiver are moved from indoor operation to outdoor operation. Although these models can provide an estimation of range performance in the ﬁeld, the most reliable method is to simply perform range tests using the modules in the intended operational environment.
Page 17: Using The Prototype Board
Using the Prototype Board Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Prototype Board as shown in Figure 12. Figure 12: Prototype Board with a Carrier Board Place the power switch into the “USB” position then connect a micro USB cable into the connector at the top of the board.
Page 18 Supply for the module is connected through R17. This can be removed and replaced by another supply or used to measure the current consumption of the module. The onboard 3.3-volt regulator has approximately 400mA Note: available for additional circuitry when plugged into a PC. If more current is required, the user must power the board from an external supply or a USB charger with more current capabilities, up to 1A.

Page 20: Using The Handheld Transmitter Evaluation Board
Using the Handheld Transmitter Evaluation Board Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Handheld Transmitter Evaluation Board and install the batteries and an antenna as shown in Figure. Figure 15: Assembled Handheld Transmitter Evaluation Board The receiver board is powered by two AAA batteries. A Linx HumPRC Series transceiver is used for reception of the transmitted signal.
Page 21: Joining A Transmitter
Joining a Transmitter The transmitter is associated with a receiver using the built-in Join Process. This process conﬁgures a star network with the central unit as the system Administrator. Other units are added to the network as nodes one at a time. Typically, the handheld transmitter is added as a node to a module that has been conﬁgured as an administrator.
Page 22: The Development Kit Demonstration Software
The Development Kit Demonstration Software The development kit includes software that is used to conﬁgure and control the module through the Programming Dock. The software defaults to the RC Conﬁguration tab when opened (Figure 18). This window offers basic conﬁguration and demonstration of the module’s functionality with the current conﬁguration.
Page 23 7. The Status Line Mask selects the input / output direction of the individual status lines. A checked box sets that line as an input, an unchecked box is an output. The Status Line Direction needs to be conﬁgured before this can be changed. Settings are reﬂected in the image on the right.
Page 24 The Advanced Conﬁguration tab (Figure 21) offers more detailed conﬁguration options for the active module. Figure 21: The Master Development System Software Advanced Conﬁguration Tab 1. The Memory group selects if changes are written to volatile or non-volatile memory. 2. The conﬁgurations are divided into groups. The Addressing group conﬁgures the addressing features of the module.
Page 25 • User Destination Address (UDESTID) is the address of the destination module when User and Extended User addressing modes are used. • User ID Address Mask (UMASK) is the mask for screening incoming packets. • The LASTNETAD is the last address that the module assigned using the JOIN process.
Page 26 • The UART Data Timeout (DATATO) sets the number of milliseconds from the last character received on the UART before the module transmits the data in its buffer. • Selecting the WAKEACK box instructs the module to output the acknowledgement (0x06) on the UART when the module wakes from sleep or power cycle.
Page 27 Figure 23: The Master Development System Software Exception Flags The Command Set tab (Figure 24) allows speciﬁc commands to be written to the module. Figure 24: The Master Development System Software Command Set Tab 1. The Command box shows the hexadecimal values that are written to the module.
Page 28 4. The Items drop down menu displays all of the items that are available for the active module (Figure 26). Selecting one of the items from this menu automatically ﬁlls in the Command box. The values can be adjusted by typing in the box. Figure 26: The Master Development System Software Command Set Tab Items Menu 5.
Page 29: Development Kit Demonstration Software Example
Development Kit Demonstration Software Example This example shows how to conﬁgure a module using the development kit software. The software defaults to the RC Conﬁguration tab (Figure 27). Figure 27: The Master Development System Software RC Conﬁguration Tab Install a Carrier Board onto the Programming Dock and plug a USB cable between the Programming Dock and the PC.
Page 30 To change the status line directions, ﬁrst change the Status Line Direction option to “Direction set by Status Line Mask.” The change is highlighted in red (Figure 29). Click the Write button to write the change to the module. Figure 29: The Master Development System Changed Status Line Direction Then change the Status Line Mask as desired.
Page 31 When the Write button is clicked, the new states are written to the module and are reﬂected in the model to the right. All lines that were unchecked become outputs represented by LEDs (Figure 31). Figure 31: The Master Development System Software Conﬁgured Module The lines can be conﬁgured as momentary or latched.
Page 32 When the latched conﬁguration is written to the module, the symbol next to the LEDs changes to reﬂect the operation (Figure 33). Figure 33: The Master Development System Software Conﬁgured Module Figure 34 shows the latching and momentary symbols. Figure 34: The Master Development System Software Latching (1) and Momentary (2) Symbols The software continuously polls the module checking the state of its outputs.
Page 33 The Advanced Conﬁguration tab shows the addressing and radio conﬁgurations for the module. Figure 36 and Figure 37 show the tab for two modules. Figure 36: The Master Development System Software Module 1 Advanced Conﬁguration Tab Figure 37: The Master Development System Software Module 2 Advanced Conﬁguration Tab In the Addressing group, the MYDSN is the unique serial number for each module.
Page 34 The Join Process selects a random 3-byte number that is used as a network address. This is placed in the upper 3 bytes of the module’s local source address (USRCID) and the destination address (UDESTID). In this example, the number is 0x4CA664. The last byte in the USRCID ﬁeld is the module’s unique address, in this case 0x03 and 0x04 for the two modules.
