1. Example Code Overview The AIR BoosterPack kit includes dozens of useful pre developed code examples for quick development and implementation Think of the code examples as building blocks snapping functionality together to achieve a desired performance Simply determine the desired functionality browse through the code examples select the applicable building blocks snap them together flash the compiled code to the BoosterPacks via USB connection and start the network Some building block examples Network Get module version Get MAC address Read radio GPIO RF tester Range test Packet error rate test Sensors amp Indicators Read button push Blink LED Read light sensor Read IR temp sensor Other Functions Send text to USB port Read write non volatile memory Startup Application Overview To help familiarize users with the A R BoosterPack kit pre compiled startup applications are included based on the code example building blocks A simple network is set up to read BoosterPack sensor values and display the results on a PC connected via USB cable In this example the BoosterPacks function as follows Coordinator C Sends text data packets received from the Router and or End Point module s to a terminal emulation program Shows Router or End Point sensor status on RGB LED Router temperature sensor Shows color ranging from blue cold to red hot End Point color sensor Shows color representing2. display the initialization message in the window 10 Connect the Router BoosterPack LaunchPad combo to a computer by USB cable Data packets start displaying in the Coordinator terminal window example data packets shown below Repeat this step for the End Point Separate terminal windows may be opened to locally display Router and End Point data by following step 9 _ Stellaris Virtual Serial Port COM10 0 Device driver software inst successfully Router temperature From 00124B0001FE4710 LQI BA 2 KVPs received OID_VCC_MV 0x02 3535 3 535V OID_ TEMPERATURE REMOTE 0x12 2306 23 06C End Point color From 00124B0001FE47CB LQI 93 5 KVPs received OID VCC _MV 0x02 3505 3 505V OID COLOR SENSOR RED 0x22 127 OID COLOR SENSOR _BLUE 0x23 8278 OID COLOR SENSOR _GREEN 0x24 316 OID COLOR SENSOR CLEAR 0x25 4401 11 Router and End Point sensor readings are shown on the Coordinator RGB LED toggled by pressing Coordinator switch S2 Coordinator diodes D8 amp DY show the data displayed Sensor D8 red D9 yellow None OFF OFF Router temperature OFF ON End Point color ON OFF NEXT STEPS Now that the BoosterPack network is operating start exploring the many other development options See User s Manual and CD for more information Still not connected See User s Manual for troubleshooting
