This is the version 2 of my previous CC1101 driver library for MSP430 (https://github.com/abhra0897/MSP430-CC1101-Energia-Library). This time it is much better, with lots of new features, supporting all the frequencies, and works perfectly. Read the readme.md for detailed information.

CC1101 MSP430 Energia Library v2

Last updated (May 23, 2021)

Note

This is the 2nd version of my first driver library of CC1101 for MSP430 (on energia framework, similar to Arduino). This version is almost entirely different from the previous version. Now it supports all the frequency ranges, has many more communication modes, and lots of other features.

If you want to communicate between a MSP430 and an Arduino (AVR based), use this library for MSP430 and SpaceTeddy's library for Arduino (https://github.com/SpaceTeddy/CC1101).

This is done based on the SpaceTeddy's CC1101-Arduino library. I added the hardware support for MSP430 and memory optimized the code at some places. The supported MCU (and launchpad) list is given below.

Supported Launchpads/MCUs

  • MSP-EXP430G2 w/ MSP430G2x53 or MSP430G2x13 MCU
  • MSP-EXP430FR5739
  • MSP-EXP430FR5969
  • MSP-EXP430FR6989
  • MSP-EXP430FR5994 (Contributed by Daniel Tsai )
  • [ ! ] MSP-EXP430FR2355 w/ MSP430FR2355 or MSP430FR2353 MCU

[ ! : There's problem with SPI for MSP430FR2355 ass per Issue #3. Please report if you face it too ]

Supported Frequencies

  • 315 MHz
  • 433 MHz
  • 868 MHz
  • 915 MHz

Check the examples for basic usage.

Download

Download this repository using git:

https://github.com/abhra0897/msp430_cc1101_energia_v2.git

Install

Put this folder in your Energia libraries folder. Restart Energia. Then load the examples from "File-> Examples-> CC1101_MSP430_energia_v2" (note you need two radios to test functionality, a reciever and a transmitter).

Pinouts

For each launchpad, reference this pin description image of the CC1101. The proper orientation is with the antenna facing to your right, with the text "RF1100SE" in the correct orientation.

General description of RF packet

-> pkt_len [1byte] | rx_addr [1byte] | tx_addr [1byte] | payload data [1..60bytes]

pkt_len = count of bytes which shall transfered over air (rx_addr + tx_addr + payload data)
rx_addr = address of device, which shall receive the message (0x00 = broadcast to all devices)
tx_addr = transmitter or my address. the receiver should know who has sent a message.
payload = 1 to 60 bytes payload data.

TX Bytes example:
-> 0x06 0x03 0x01 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03

Basic configuration

use uint8_t CC1100::begin(volatile uint8_t &My_addr) always as first configuration step. This function returns the device address.

Device address

you should set a unique device address for the transmitter and a unique device address for the receiver. This can be done with void CC1100::set_myaddr(uint8_t addr).

i.E. -> TX = 0x01 ; RX = 0x03

Modulation modes

the following modulation modes can be set by void CC1100::set_mode(uint8_t mode). Transmitter and receiver must have the same Mode setting.

1 = GFSK_1_2_kb
2 = GFSK_38_4_kb
3 = GFSK_100_kb
4 = MSK_250_kb
5 = MSK_500_kb
6 = OOK_4_8_kb
ISM frequency band

you can set a frequency operation band by void CC1100::set_ISM(uint8_t ism_freq) to make it compatible with your hardware.

1 = 315
2 = 433
3 = 868
4 = 915

    void show_register_settings(void);

    // Returns TRUE (1) if packet is available. Call it often to check packet availibility
    uint8_t packet_available();

    // If packet is available, call this method to get the data from RXFIFO
    uint8_t get_payload(uint8_t rxbuffer[], uint8_t &pktlen_rx,uint8_t &my_addr, uint8_t &sender, int8_t &rssi_dbm, uint8_t &lqi);

    // Clear RXFIFO and TXFIFO
    void rx_fifo_erase(uint8_t *rxbuffer);
    void tx_fifo_erase(uint8_t *txbuffer);

    // Fill RXFIFO first with your data (8-bit chunks) and then send them using this method.
    // rx_addr must be same as the address of the receiver
    // tx_addr represents your address
    // pktlen is the length of the packet. Must be equal to or greater than your packet's length and shorter than the maximum TXFIFO size
    uint8_t send_packet(uint8_t my_addr, uint8_t rx_addr, uint8_t *txbuffer, uint8_t pktlen, uint8_t tx_retries);
