Detailed Description

This header file provides a function for configuring the radio registers (radioRegistersInit()) and also some small functions for reading information from the radio.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define RSSI_OFFSET   71

An offset used by radioRssi() to calculate the RSSI. According to Table 68 of the CC2511F32 datasheet, RSSI offset for 250kbps is 71.

Function Documentation

BIT radioCrcPassed

(

)

Returns

1 if the last packet received has a correct CRC-16, 0 otherwise.

If this function returns 0, the data in the last packet received was corrupted and should not be relied upon.

uint8 radioLqi

(

)

Returns

The Link Quality Indicator (LQI) of the last packet received.

According to the CC2511F32 datasheet, the LQI is a metric of the quality of the received signal. "LQI is best used as a relative measurement of link quality (a high value indicates a better link than what a low value does), since the value is dependent on the modulation format."

void radioRegistersInit

(

)

Configures the CC2511's radio module using settings that have been tested by Pololu and are known to work.

In summary, these settings are:

• Data rate = 350 kbps
• Modulation = MSK
• Channel 0 frequency = 2403.47 MHz
• Channel spacing = 286.4 kHz
• Channel bandwidth = 600 kHz

This function does not configure the PKTLEN, MCSM0, MCSM1, MCSM2, CHANNR, or ADDR registers or the DMA: That should be done by higher-level code.

int8 radioRssi

(

)

Returns

The signal strength of the last packet received, if the radio just exited RX mode. If the radio is in RX mode, returns a continuously-updated estimate of the signal level in the channel. The units are dBm.

The RSSI typically be between -100 and -10. A higher number (closer to zero if negative) is better. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indication.
