Paired Wireless Sensor / Gateway Demonstration using 2.4 GHz AIR Modules with TI SimpliciTI
In this demonstration, we use TI's EZ430-RF2500 demonstration kit -- together with Anaren's 2500R24A-EZ4x Target Boards and TI's SimpliciTI protocol -to manage a powered-on receiver and battery-operated sleeping transmitter that are paired in the field. The Transmitter then simulates a sensor input by transmitting 12-bytes at a 16Hz rate to the receiver -- and sleeping otherwise. The Transmitter is optimized for low power consumption to maximize ...
