2.7 XMIT_TEST

This program implements two tests that can be used to verify RF performance of the rfPIC Development Kit transmitter modules using a spectrum analyzer and calibrated antenna. The tests start when the indicated push button is pressed and stop when the push button is released. The processor sleeps between tests to conserve battery power.

Demonstration Programs

2.7.1

Press push button GP3 (SW2). This test generates a constant unmodulated output for measuring peak output power. This test can be used for regulatory pre-compliance testing and antenna tuning.

2.7.2

Set potentiometer GP0 in one of four quarter positions to choose maximum, high, medium, or low speed signal rate. Then press GP4 (SW1) and fine adjust potentiometer GP1 for the desired signal rate. The signal is a square wave and does not exactly match the PWM or Manchester spectrums, but is quite useful to determine system performance. Table 2-1 demonstrates the approximate signal rates. Note that increasing the analog voltage decreases the signal rate and that the NRZ bps is double the modulation frequency.

The Presentation Pal application turns your rfPIC Development Kit 1 into a wireless slide show presentation helper. By pressing the push-buttons on the transmitter module, the commands are converted to page-up and page-down keyboard commands for a personal computer. There are two programs required for this application.

2.8.1

Step 1:

The first step in converting your rfPIC Development Kit 1 is to program a blank PIC16C745 8-bit CMOS microcontroller with USB (not included with the rfPIC Development Kit) with pres_pal.hex. The PIC16C745 is a one time programmable (OTP) microcontroller and can be programmed on a PICSTART II programmer.

Step 2:

Remove the PICkit 1 FLASH Kit programmed PIC16C745 from socket U1. Insert the PIC16C745 programmed with pres_pal.hex into socket U1.

USB Firmware - pres_pal.hex

Plus or PRO MATE®

rfPIC™ Development Kit 1 User’s Guide

Step 3:

Remove the PIC12F675 microcontroller from the evaluation socket. Insert a wire jumper between pins 9 and 13.

Step 4:

When the PICkit Starter Kit is plugged into the personal computer USB jack, the program will enumerate as a keyboard.

Button presses on the transmitter module are interpreted as page-down, page-up and Alt-Tab keyboard commands. Page-down advances the slide. Page-up goes backwards in the slide presentation. When both buttons are pressed, Alt-Tab alternates between active programs.

2.8.2

This program sends button press commands to the receiver. The button press commands are interpreted and sent to the personal computer as page-down and page-up commands to advance or retreat the slide presentation running on the computer.

This program is a slightly modified version of xmit_demo.asm. This program sends a different count value for each push button press. This allows the receiver to delay advancing the slide if the push button is pressed for an extended period of time. The receiver will delay advancing a few seconds if the push button is continuously pressed. This is similar to the key press auto-repeat feature of many personal computer keyboards.

Transmitter Firmware - prespal_xmit.hex

2.9 PROGRAMMING TEMPLATES

Thoroughly commented templates are provided to assist the programmer in getting started with new projects. Two templates are provided:

PIC12F629-675 Assembly Language Programming Template.asm

Use this template to program the PIC12F629 or PIC12F675 8-pin FLASH PICmicro MCU or the rfPIC12F675K/675F/675H PICmicro MCU with UHF ASK/FSK transmitter devices.

3.3 rfRXD0420 DESCRIPTION

The rfRXD0420 is a stand-alone receiver module that can be used in a variety of ways.

• It can be plugged into the PICkit 1 FLASH Starter Kit expansion header J3 for demonstration and development.

• The receiver module can be installed in any project for proof-of-concept, demonstration, or development purposes. Once project proof-of-concept and demonstration have been proven, the designer can use the available Gerber files or complete a design of their own.

A detailed description of the rfRXD0420 UHF ASK/FSK/FM receiver is provided in the data sheet, DS70090.

A detailed description of the rfRXD0420 receiver module design is provided in application note, AN860.

TABLE 3-2: rfRXD0420 RECEIVER MODULE PINOUT

Pin Description

1-10 No Connection 11 Receive Data In 12 No Connection 13 Power: 2.5-5.5 VDC 14 Ground ANT Antenna Connection

The antenna connection is a 0.055 inch pin receptical. A simple small diameter wire (AWG 24) antenna can be constructed and inserted into the receptical. The length of the antenna wire depends on the frequency.

λ (meters) = c / f (Hertz)

where

c = 3x10

= speed of light (meters per second)

f = receive frequency (Hertz)

λ = wavelength (meters)

The length of the antenna wire in inches can be found for a given frequency using the following formula:

wire antenna length (inches) = 2952.8 / f (MHz)

Alternatively, the pin receptical can be removed and an alternate antenna connection can be made. For example, a coaxial wire can be connected to the antenna pad on the front side of the PCB and ground pad on the back side of the PCB.

rfPIC™ Development Kit 1 User’s Guide

4.3.1 Power Requirements

Pwr Sel jumper P1 selects one of two power sources for the rfPIC12F675:

• PICkit™ Starter Kit position (pins 1 and 2) – placing a jumper in the PICkit position allows the transmitter module to be powered from connector P2 pin 13. When the transmitter module is plugged in the PICkit expansion header J3, the transmitter module is powered from the PICkit Starter Kit.

Note: When programming the transmitter module in the PICkit Starter Kit, the Pwr

Sel jumper P1 must be in the PICkit position (pins 1 and 2 jumpered).

• Batt position (pins 2 and 3) – placing a jumper in the batt position allows the transmitter model to be powered from the lithium coin cell battery. When powered from the battery, the transmitter module can be used in portable operation.

4.3.2

The rfPIC12F675 can be programmed by the PICkit 1 FLASH Starter kit.

Step 1:

Remove the PIC16F676 or PIC12F676 from the PICkit Starter Kit Evaluation Socket.

Step 2:

Plug the transmitter module into the PICkit Starter Kit expansion header J3 (See Figure 4-2).

Step 3:

The internal PIC12F675 in the rfPIC device now becomes the target programming device. Operate the PICkit Starter Kit in accordance with the steps outlined in the PICkit™ 1 FLASH Starter Kit User’s Guide.

The transmitter module can be removed for stand-alone operation. Remember to set the Pwr Sel jumper for each mode of operation (See Power Requirements section above).

Note: There will be some interaction with the LEDs on the PICkit Starter Kit and

4.3.3

Socket U2 is an unpopulated 8-pin DIP connection on the transmitter module. A user-provided 8-pin IC socket can be soldered in place.

To use socket U2, the user must disconnect the internal PIC12F675 PICmicro microcontroller internal to the rfPIC12F675 device from the circuits on the module. This is done by cutting six PCB traces marked by silk-screened “x”.

Socket U2 can be used for:

• In Circuit Emulation (ICE) with an MPLAB

• Inserting an 8-pin DIP version of the PIC12F675. The DIP PICmicro microcontroller can be programmed externally (such as a PICSTART internally via the PICkit Starter Kit.

A detailed description of the rfPIC12F675K/675F/675H microcontroller with UHF ASK/FSK transmitter is provided in the data sheet, DS70091.

A detailed description of the rfPIC12F675K/675 transmitter module antenna design is provided in the application note, AN868.

Chapter 5. Troubleshooting

5.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes common problems associated with using the rfPIC Development Kit 1 and steps on how to resolve them.

For troubleshooting associated with the PICkit 1 FLASH Starter Kit, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the PICkit™ 1 FLASH Starter Kit User’s Guide, (DS40051).

5.2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

5.2.1 Devices on the PICkit Starter Kit have no power?

Question:

I see the green POWER LED lit and the yellow BUSY LED extinguished, but there’s no power to the rfPIC receiver or transmitter module. What is wrong?

Answer:

The green POWER LED tells you that there is power supplied to the PICkit Starter Kit from the USB cable and that the programming side of the PICkit Starter Kit is powered (the PIC16C745). The yellow BUSY LED tells you if power is being supplied to the device under test. Since you mentioned that the yellow BUSY LED is extinguished, this says that there is no power to the device under test.

Make sure that the DEVICE POWER checkbox (Figure 5-1) on the PICkit GUI is checked. This feature allows you to control the device under test power from the PICkit GUI.
