DIY :- Wireless Chat Using RFM70

Re: DIY :- Wireless Chat Using

Reserved.............

Guys if you have any doubt in this Block diagram then please shoot your questions.

nice project buddy

narayana murthy

nice project buddy

Thanks NM.

Should i go ahead? I think people are not interested in RF project.
Ok lets See. 😔

Updated the Serial Communication circuit. please have a look.

godfather

I have already developed this project this is for the Ceans who want to do something by themselves.

hey gf i had a doubt
how much distance is it working
i mean how much distance we can use it

narayana murthy

It will give 30 Meter but mostly depends on the environment you use. but you can easily cover a HOME with this.

godfather

thanks brother i think this may useful to me

narayana murthy

thanks brother i think this may useful to me

Sure you can use it. 😀

godfather

Sure you can use it. 😀

but i think this is very useful for the sending only personal information because for just 30m we can use mikes lol
just kidding anyway good project but is it in compact size

This is not only application i choose this because this will make interest in people there are lot of other application based on the same.

yes you can compact it use the SMD component. 😉

One of my friend is also working on small GUI for this Chat. 😁

hi,
it's really glad to see this project....it's too nice...hey and even we too are working on rfm70 for our project...we got few doubts...
1. Some where i read that using RFM70 in wi-fi zone will hinder the performance..is it so?
2. How to access the data in Rx FIFO register.

@Prathap~

Its my pleasure if you really want to do this project by yourself i am sure you will get good knowledge too.

Well For your Answer:-

1) I think it will not effect the functionality of RFM70 as the address for the WIFI and RF devices are different i have tested it in company and at time we are using WIFI MODEM but it was working good so i don't think it might cause problem.
2) To access RX FIFO from RFM70 module, If you have reference code of that Module then you will find a function Receive_packate after that function the data is available in RX_FIFO and via SPI you can read it. 😀

PS:- Guys i am not sure much about the first thing if anyone knows please pour your knowledge.

ok am here will be soon woking on this project have written down the components and will bring it by the coming week....

yanivx

ok am here will be soon woking on this project have written down the components and will bring it by the coming week....

Good Yanivx,
Let me know if you have any difficulty in finding Components. I will make your process fast. 😀

I have updated the First Post. Controller section is added and also the connection which will be useful for RF module connectivity.

Post is updated with RFM70 Connector next step will be of writing software. please refer datasheet before you go through software section.

I am trying to use RFM70 module but the software interface is gone me crazy...😕

So do you have ready Hardware? Can you post it here?

godfather

So do you have ready Hardware? Can you post it here?

Sorry, but I have only breadboard minimal hardware setting for testing the RFM70 capabilities...I'm woking with PIC18F, implementing the sample software provided by RFM70's manufacturer...

Unforntunately this not working fine as it should : the packets are transmitted but never received! 😔

You are using same code, It should be work please check your hardware again.

Could you post your code? I have modified the orignal code (for PIC16) to run on PIC18...
Which uC are you using?

tai86

I have used ATMEL and Freescale. You can try with the code given on site.

godfather

If you have used that code without any changes then it should work. as i too tested same code. even you can check your SPI first by reading any register. if it works then you can debug.

Do you have Debugger for PIC?

I use the original code with minimal correction for running it on PIC18F...I have ICD2 Clone prog/debug setup : RFM70 run at 3.3v and is not possible to debug at this voltage supply...damn it!

Now, I'm trying to read a generic register...

Try to read some register and blink LED according to that. so you come to know that your SPI is working or not. Let me know if still you have any doubt.

I read the 01 register and I find 0x3F agreed with RFM70's datasheet...So SPI_Read_Reg() is working!! 😁

Then I try to display the variable "sta=SPI_Read_Reg(STATUS);" in function "Receive_Packet()" and the returned value is 0x0E (not depending on tx module on/off)...what is meaning of STATUS = 0x0E? 😕

That is status register and in that one bit is set and reset according to reception.

now try and check this condition

if((STATUS_RX_DR&sta) == 0x40) // if receive data ready (RX_DR) interrupt

becomes TRUE or not? If this condition becomes true when you receive perfect data then you can read length of the bytes received.

Yes one more important thing. Have you Swapped address RX0_Address and Tx_address ?

godfather

now try and check this condition becomes TRUE or not? If this condition becomes true when you receive perfect data then you can read length of the bytes received.

The condition never becomes true because sta = 0x0E and STATUS_RX_DR&sta = 0x40 & 0x0E = 0

godfather

??? Swapping address...what do you mean? 😀 Maybe could it be THE problem!

tai86

??? Swapping address...what do you mean? 😀 Maybe could it be THE problem!

Yes that is the problem.
Here is small example

for Transmitter
Tx_Address = 0x01;
RX0_address = 0x02;

then for Receiver you have to swap these two
Tx_Address = 0x02;
RX0_address = 0x01;

Please give it a try and let me know.

godfather

for Transmitter
Tx_Address = 0x01;
RX0_address = 0x02;

then for Receiver you have to swap these two
Tx_Address = 0x02;
RX0_address = 0x01;

You may be right BUT in the RFM70's example codes Tx_Address = RX0_Address = {0x34,0x43,0x10,0x10,0x01} and RX1_Address = {0x39,0x38,0x37,0x36,0xc2} for both receiver and transmitter...why? 😐

Could you send me or publish your code? Thank you

You have to swap address of RED marked Address only.

Finally I find the issue!!! 😁
The MISO pin of RFM70 module on tx was fault...changed the module and ALL WORKS GREAT!
Thank you godfather! 😁

You are most welcome.
Do share Project video if possible. 😀

nice project buddy

I edit RFM70 code for MSP430. But i have the same error like tai86.
I read 0x0e as status register. I write something to bank0 registers
and when i read back from the same register i can not have the same
value that i wrote (I think i can not reach the registers). I check
the hardware several times. The code is in the attachment. Iwill be
please to discuss about...

PS : When i debug i can stop on line 547 with a breakpoint

Hello,
I edit RFM70 code for lpcxpresso(lpc1343).
But i have the same error like nakres . I sniffer the spi protocol with an logicport and it seems that the SPI communication is working.
I modify the SPI_RW function in 2 different ways:

1).
uint32_t SSPSend( uint8_t *buf, uint32_t Length )
{
  uint32_t i;
  uint8_t Dummy = Dummy;
 
  for ( i = 0; i < Length; i++ )
  {
    /* Move on only if NOT busy and TX FIFO not full. */
    while ( (LPC_SSP->SR & (SSPSR_TNF|SSPSR_BSY)) != SSPSR_TNF );
    LPC_SSP->DR = *buf;
    //printf("reg: %d, val(0): %d\n ", LPC_SSP->DR, *buf);
    buf++;
#if !LOOPBACK_MODE
    while ( (LPC_SSP->SR & (SSPSR_BSY|SSPSR_RNE)) != SSPSR_RNE );
    /* Whenever a byte is written, MISO FIFO counter increments, Clear FIFO
    on MISO. Otherwise, when SSP0Receive() is called, previous data byte
    is left in the FIFO. */
    //Dummy = LPC_SSP->DR;//commented this line
#else
    /* Wait until the Busy bit is cleared. */
    while ( LPC_SSP->SR & SSPSR_BSY );
#endif
  }
  return LPC_SSP->DR;/added this one
}
 
UINT8 SPI_RW(UINT8 value)
{
  return(SSPSend(&value, 1));                    // return read UINT8
}
 
2).
void SSPSend( uint8_t *buf, uint32_t Length )
{
  uint32_t i;
  uint8_t Dummy = Dummy;
 
  for ( i = 0; i < Length; i++ )
  {
    /* Move on only if NOT busy and TX FIFO not full. */
    while ( (LPC_SSP->SR & (SSPSR_TNF|SSPSR_BSY)) != SSPSR_TNF );
    LPC_SSP->DR = *buf;
    //printf("reg: %d, val(0): %d\n ", LPC_SSP->DR, *buf);
    buf++;
#if !LOOPBACK_MODE
    while ( (LPC_SSP->SR & (SSPSR_BSY|SSPSR_RNE)) != SSPSR_RNE );
    /* Whenever a byte is written, MISO FIFO counter increments, Clear FIFO
    on MISO. Otherwise, when SSP0Receive() is called, previous data byte
    is left in the FIFO. */
    Dummy = LPC_SSP->DR;
#else
    /* Wait until the Busy bit is cleared. */
    while ( LPC_SSP->SR & SSPSR_BSY );
#endif
  }
  //return LPC_SSP->DR;
}
 
UINT8 SPI_RW(UINT8 value)
{
    SSPSend(&value, 1);//will not modify the value
    SSPReceive(&value, 1);//it will modify the value
  return(value);                    // return read UINT8
}

I get the same results: 0x00 or 0x0E. I don't know what to do. If is anybody that can help me(knowswith lpcxpresso, or not), please do 😁 😀.
I attached the hole project.

Best regards.😁

@Fantomas : please give me some time to review your code i'll get back to you soon. Have you checked that your SPI is working fine? Whatever you're writing to Config register are you able to read that content back?

Hello.

I think the SPI comunication is running well because I tested it with logicport.

I set a breakpoint at this line of code to see the values.

At some point theese values ​​have been received.

   
    SPI_Write_Reg((WRITE_REG|Bank0_Reg[2][0]),0x0f);
    test_data1[0] =  SPI_Read_Reg(0x02);//don't remember

    for(j=0;j<0x17;j++)
        test_data1[j] = SPI_Read_Reg(Bank0_Reg[j][0]);
   
    The results are:
    //aprox the same as Bank0_Reg
    test_data1[0]    0xf
    test_data1[1]    0x3f
    test_data1[2]    0x3f
    test_data1[3]    0x3
    test_data1[4]    0xff
    test_data1[5]    0x17
    test_data1[6]    0x17
    test_data1[7]    0xe
    test_data1[8]    0x0
    test_data1[9]    0x0
    test_data1[10]    0xc3
    test_data1[11]    0xc4
    test_data1[12]    0xc5
    test_data1[13]    0xc6
    test_data1[14]    0x20
    test_data1[15]    0x20
    test_data1[16]    0x20
    test_data1[17]    0x20
    test_data1[18]    0x20
    test_data1[19]    0x20
    test_data1[20]    0x1
    test_data1[21]    0x3f
    test_data1[22]    0x7    

After a while I receives another values

    SPI_Write_Reg((WRITE_REG|Bank0_Reg[2][0]),0x0f);
    test_data1[0] = SPI_Read_Reg(0x02);//received 0x03

    for(j=0;j<0x17;j++)
        test_data1[j] = SPI_Read_Reg(Bank0_Reg[j][0]);
   
    The results are:
    // not all
    test_data1[0]    0x8
    test_data1[1]    0x3f
    test_data1[2]    0x3
    test_data1[3]    0x3
    test_data1[4]    0x3
    test_data1[5]    0x2
    test_data1[6]    0x3f
    test_data1[7]    0xe
    test_data1[8]    0x0
    test_data1[9]    0x0
    test_data1[10]    0xc3
    test_data1[11]    0xc4
    test_data1[12]    0xc5
    test_data1[13]    0xc6
    test_data1[14]    0x0
    test_data1[15]    0x0
    test_data1[16]    0x0
    test_data1[17]    0x0
    test_data1[18]    0x0
    test_data1[19]    0x0
    test_data1[20]    0x11
    test_data1[21]    0x0
    test_data1[22]    0x0

I do not know what happened, because it seems to work.

Thank you for thisquick response.👍

P.S. : I added this line of code into the main, and modify the functions: SSPSend and SPI_RW.

CE_OUT();
CE(0);

I attached the new project.

May i know which microcontroller you are using and why there is need to change the read write function if you've used the reference code given with module then it should work properly with freescale, ti, atmel microcontrollers. I've tested same code without any change in software. To check SPI my first step is write any one register and read it back if it's perfect then it should work. And main thing is swapping of addresss between transmitter and receiver is most important.

As I said in my first post. I am using the board lpcxpresso(with lpc1343) and the CodeRed IDE . I modified the reference code to fit lpc1343, but it did not work. So I modify the software SPI read/write function with the SPI functions provided with the IDE. I still don't know if my read/write function it's working properly.
My current read/write function is this:

UINT8 SPI_RW(UINT8 value) {
SSPSend(&value, 1);//provided with CodeRed
SSPReceive(&value, 1);//provided with CodeRed
return(value); // return read UINT8
}

.
As I said at the second post I think I was writing and reading well from the registers, then after I modify something I don't remember then the values changed. I looked closely at the code and it seems that everything is as before(I undo the changes ). But still It's not OK. So I don't know what I did.
When it was reading well from the register this line of code:

i=SPI_Read_Reg(29);//read Feature Register

returns 0x07. Now it returns 0x00(so it's not configured).
Thank you for your respons

Tip: Always wrap your 'code' in [ code] --- [ /code] tags.[/code]

That means your software SPI is not proper yet. Do one thing take the reference code again and then change it according to your compiler and controller.
To save versions in backup is good thing 😉. So can do this please and let me know. And also follow Big_K's tip. 😀

The controller operating speed is72MHz and the clock speed of the SPI block is 72/2= 36MHz.

P.S. : I changed the speed to 1MHz for SPI block. No difference.

Keep it bellow 1Mhz when you're updating code again. Ok. So your first task is to write and read properly from the module. 😀

Well seems this time have to check all things again. Have to check your whole project too. Right now not able to access internet on desktop or laptop surfing from mobile only. But noted down your task will get back to you very soon. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you very much. I don't know what is going wrong. I ported the program for lpc1343, that's all.
I have two lpcxpresso boards and two rfm70 module. I do not think I fried my two modules connected to different lpcxpresso board.

Sir, I am a new bee in RFM70

so sir please help me to communicate with rfm70.
please provide me the schematic & also the procedure for how to configure RFM70 as transmitter or as a receiver.

Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

Still you want to give it a try? then Lets start again.

Hello Gents,

I am working now on project that incorporates RFM70 modules.
I was reading what You'd posted here and I am concerned about modules addressing scheme.

You state that TX address should be different that RX_0 on the same module and that those should be crossed between two connecting modules: TX addx (PTX)= RX_0 addr (PRX) and RX_0 addr (PTX) = TX addr (PRX).

In documentation of the RFM70 it is stated that TX addr of PTX should be the same as RX address of the pipe You want to send data for selected PRX module. Also if You'd like to make use of ACK packets in PTX module its RX_0 addr should be the same sa TX addx (because PRX module takes address of the pipe on which it received packet with ACK request and sends ACK back to the same address).

So it such configuration we would have two modules with the same address sets. Why It should work? At the same time both modules are in oposite modes (PTX, PRX), so they are not listening from/sending to themselves 😀

That's my concern about crossing addresses, You say it's working. 😀

Anyway - I am trying to get receiver working. I believe transmitter is sending data, but there is nothing on receiver side, so I really don't know where is the problem.
My question is: For PTX is it needed to generate positive CE pulse each time I am sending data to TX_FIFO, or it is sufficient if I just hold it logical 1 all the time I am in TX mode?
Is packet generated and aired just after payload data was put in TX_FIFO?

thanks for any hints.

regards

I'll spare some time for this but not possible in next few days..

Ok then,

Is it possible for You to do a dump of RFMs register values after power up and after successful configuration?
I can't bring those modules to life so maybe there is some bug in my initialization.

I did it partly this morning and I see that there are some registers (bank1) that give all 0's while reading them but anyway It would be nice just to print out values of ALL registers (both banks) found in spec and just compare those.

I hope it is not so much effort for You, as You do have already running modules.

I asked HopeRF for detailed description of the registers, and mentioned the difference in spec and example code, but they say "use sample code" and "go to max supply voltage".

If anyone could help I will appreciate.
Is it needed to post sample code of dump routine in C?

regards

This is my configuration for receiver (decimal notation).

11 -> 0, 0, 0, 0,
12 -> 0, 18, 115, 0,
13 -> 54, 180, 128, 0,
14 -> 65, 32, 8, 4, 129, 32, 207, 247, 254, 255, 255,

Transmitter gets the same with difference that PRX=0.

Could You take a look if all is ok or post Yours register dump?

regards

Ok it will take some time as I am away from my PC but meanwhile you can check your SPI routine using Registor read write. If it works fine we can focus on CE pin only.

Yes, SPI is working. It is visible in register dump. Data read from the device is consistent with those used during initialization.
I also did example code to see if CE pin can toggle its value - it's working.

I am wondering if all is set up correctly.
Maybe some delays I forgot.
I am most interested in Your banks initialization values and order of setting them.

If You could post Your code it would be much easier and the fastest way to find differences.

Anyway thanks for Your interest in my problem. I hope it will work soon 😀

Yes mostly by today I'll post codes.

Thanks,

right now I am guessing that I might do have a problem because in register 1D bank0 I set only EN_DPL but I guess I also should enable EN_DYN_ACK while sending data with W_TX_PAYLOAD_NO_ACK command...

Maybe that's why receiver can't receive anything because I am not letting it to get any of air frames without ACK.
Is my thinking right?

I guess if I set all pipes to work in ACK mode and if I want to send data without ACK needed I should use W_TX_PAYLOAD_NO_ACK command then (so EN_DYN_ACK should be enabled in features)?

Bingo!
I initialized register 1D with value 0x5 and everything is working.
I do have link between two modules and it is possible now to transmit data.

It wasn't working because I was transmitting with no ACK feature, that was not enabled on receiver side.

thanks for help.

Great ! share your project video if you have no any issue. and looking forward to see you active on forum so we can help more and more people with our little knowledge.

No problem,
I will surely would like to share something to the community but I need to overcome all problems 😀

I was working now with polling readout of data and now I am shifting to the IRQ routine.

My problem now is that ISR doesn't want to trigger relevant function - I need to investigate all AVR register settings.

regards

So you are going to connect IRQ of RF module to MCU's Interrupt pin? Make sure you need to provide sufficient delay to initialize Module on power up.

Yes, of course.

I am investigating now interrupt response on atmega8 now. It seems not to work yet as I expected.
So I believe it's just some misconfiguration.

Do You know if IRQ pin of RFM70 is kind of CMOS/TTL/or OC?

regards

Yes TTL Logic. It remains High 3.3V and when receives data goes low.

Hi there, newbie at this forum.

I have been working with the RFM70 too, and I have overcome a lot of the wierd things about the RFM70. The one thing that annoys me right now, is that if I want to change PRIM_RX from 1 to 0 (change mode from RX to TX) I need to power down the module (clearing PWR_UP) before changing the mode, and then power back up. This is not in the datasheet.

Also when powering back up, there need to be a delay for the module to power back up, but I can't find any info in the datasheet about how long the module needs to power up.

A lot of trial and error need to be done with these devices since so many things are left out of the datasheet :-(

I have developed more than 15 application based on RFM70 and I never face such problem. Are you sure that you are following the proper initialization?

godfather

I have developed more than 15 application based on RFM70 and I never face such problem. Are you sure that you are following the proper initialization?

I am pretty sure, but when you say it like that, it makes me think.

Another strange thing is that I get high packet loss when using 2 bytes CRC.

I would be happy if you wanted to help check my initialization. Do you have a problem reading other peoples code or should I translate to pseudo code? I did make a lot of comments in the code to help track down errors.

Do you initialize Bank1?

HopeRF says the default values are fine and that the memory in Bank1 is non-volatile. But you need at least to initialize the register 04 in Bank1 if you want low power mode (which I do).

Futterama

HopeRF says the default values are fine and that the memory in Bank1 is non-volatile. But you need at least to initialize the register 04 in Bank1 if you want low power mode (which I do).

I have used the reference code given by HopeRF and slight modification depend on my application parameter. I am afraid you might have changed some critical registers and because of that you are facing this issue.

Post your initialization I will try my best to spent some time on same.

Thanks, when I get the time, I will test for the problem again, but this time without changing any parameters in Bank1 and with an unused module. Then I will get back to you. I will probably not have time before tomorrow :-(

Take your time and make code better. 😀

Ok, I made some time for testing tonight.

I have disabled all Bank1 writes so I only do a minimum of initialization on the RFM70 for testing.

I made one setup (setup 1) which transmits a packet and another setup (setup 2) that receives it. After receiving the packet, dynamic payload length is read from the RX buffer and mode is changed to TX in setup 2 and a packet is sent. The packet is sent fine, but only if I don't read the dynamic payload length first! If I read the dynamic payload length first, the TX fails.

My code for reading the dynamic payload length using the R_RX_PL_WID command:

CSN = 0;                  // Start SPI communication
SPI_RW(R_RX_PL_WID);      // Write command: Read RX-payload width
PacketLen = SPI_RW(0);    // Read payload width
CSN = 1;                  // End SPI communication)

So somehow the RFM70 gets stuck when using the R_RX_PL_WID, maybe because there is something I missed on how to read this value?
I must add that when I read the payload length value, I do get a valid value, but I must be shutting down the SPI communication in a wrong way?

Ohh, I can read the dynamic payload AND make the TX work if I have a small delay (like 1us) between setting CS = 0 to enter standby-1 mode and reading the payload length. So the RFM70 needs a small amount of time before reading the payoad length after CE is set low (to disable RX and enter the standby-1 mode). I don't see this in the datasheet :-(

Another thing I noticed. When a packet is received and the IRQ pin goes low, I read the RX_DR bit in the STATUS register, just to make sure the interrupt was caused by reception of a package.

If I disable the RX by setting CE = 0 before I read the STATUS register, RX_DR will be 0. If I wait and set CE = 0 after I have read the STATUS register, RX_DR will be 1.

I don't see this behavior in the datasheet either! And of course I want to disable the RX as soon as I have received a packet to conserve power.

Yes that is required as SPI is little slow for RFM70 and it is also good way to make communication in reliable way.

I don't see this behavior in the datasheet either! And of course I want to disable the RX as soon as I have received a packet to conserve power.

CE is used to for Chip Enable so if you are disabling RX by setting CE = 0 then after any of your command is not going to receive by RFM70 or say any SPI. So you must have to be sure that you have enabled CE pin of any SPI device before you are sending any command to SPI device.

And what I suggest you can use CE in always enable mode if you are communicating with only one SPI device say RFM70.

Well, maybe I got some things mixed up. In power down mode, all SPI registers are available. But the datasheet does not say anything about the SPI registers being available in standby-1 mode. It just says that standby-1 mode is the mode the RFM70 returns to after RX or TX when CE is low. But some registers must be available in this mode because I can change the PRIM_RX bit when CE is low. I will take a closer look with the thing in mind that CE is Chip Enable and also "SPI Enable" 😉

Oh ! Then it would be really messy thing for you to get the list of the registers available in standby-1 mode.

what is your application?

I can tell you for sure, many registers are active in standby-1 mode (CE = 0) because I do ALL my initialization with CE held low. My understanding of the function of the CE pin is that it only controls the RFM70 mode between "RX/TX" and "standby-1". So with CE = 0 that RFM70 will enter standby-1 mode and with CE = 1 the RFM70 will enter RX or TX mode, depending on the PRIM_RX bit setting. And to me it makes sense to configure the PRIM_RX bit BEFORE you let the RFM70 enter an active mode (RX or TX).

I am only communicating with one device. So you mean I should hold CE high at all times? This does not really make sense to me since one of the big advantages of the RFM70 is its ability to maintain a low power consumption using the standby modes.

I will need to make a list of registers readable and writeable in standby-1 mode and also a list of usable SPI commands. Or maybe my contact at HopeRF can give me a good answer (they tend to give short useless answers).

That is another way. If you are getting reply then you have to work less. 😀

Yeah, but they have just had a week of holiday, so I guess their mailbox is full of technical questions from customers so I don't expect a quick reply ;-)

I tested some of the registers, and it seems like you cannot read the STATUS register when CE = 0. The register content will not be shifted out when writing a SPI command either.
Also there needs to be a small delay (few µs) between setting CE low and issuing the R_RX_PL_WID command, otherwise something in the RFM70 prevents the TX from working until the PWR_UP bit is toggled (sometimes even with a delay between).

Some strange undocumented stuff to take into account when writing code for the RFM70!

Oh my god. I still have the same problem, no IRQ on the IRQ pin (and the TX_DS bit is 0) when transmitting a packet unless I go to power down mode first. I even tried with a fresh RFM70 which I have not written anything to Bank1.
It only happens if I received a packet in RX mode before trying to transmit a packet.

The packet is actually transmitted (I received it on the receiver) but the IRQ is not asserted.

I don't know what is going on here but this is what I have figured out:

- The RFM70 will not change from PRX to PTX if CE = 1 while you clear the PRIM_RX bit. You need to have CE = 0 when changing state of the PRIM_RX bit or at least toggle CE after making changes to the PRIM_RX bit. In short, the RFM70 will go into whatever mode the PRIM_RX bit indicates at the time CE goes high.

I started writing notes:

RFM70 notes

Only change mode between RX and TX while CE is low.
In TX mode, set CE high AFTER the payload has been loaded in the TX FIFO.

Transmit a package:
1. CE must be low.
2. Clear the PRIM_RX bit to enable TX mode.
3. Put payload in TX FIFO.
4. Set CE high.
5. Wait for IRQ.
6. Clear the TX_DS bit.
7. Set CE low.

Hi! I have a question about the RFM70. Is it possible to directly conenct a pressure sensor to the RFM70 without the need of a microcontroller.

Hi! I have a question about the RFM70. Is it possible to directly conenct a pressure sensor to the RFM70 without the need of a microcontroller.

If your sensor output is digital then you can connect directly. If it gives analog output then you need ADC.

jc_0x0

Hi! I have a question about the RFM70. Is it possible to directly conenct a pressure sensor to the RFM70 without the need of a microcontroller.

RFM70 is not self programmable You must have to send command via SPI to transmit and receive data. So its not possible that you interface sensor directly with RFM70. You will need microcontroller to send command so in this case Microcontroller is must.

[Prototype]

If your sensor output is digital then you can connect directly. If it gives analog output then you need ADC.

If my output is digital, where will I connect it? In what pins of RFm70?

godfather

You have to modify even source code of that project. You can not interface any sensor with RFM70. You must have to interface all kind of sensors with microcontroller only. You can directly connect RFM70 with internal microcontroller but you also have to add the code for the same. And if you haven't made that pressure sensor then its difficult.

Alternate way is you can search if your device is sending any data serially. Just use that connection and make another board which can works as a transmitter.

So even if my sensor, an accelerometer, has a digital output, it can't be directly connected to RFM70? It will only transmit. It won't function as receiver. It is because we are planning to put it in a motorcycle helmet.

So even if my sensor, an accelerometer, has a digital output, it can't be directly connected to RFM70? It will only transmit. It won't function as receiver. It is because we are planning to put it in a motorcycle helmet.

RFM70 can work as a transmitter as well as receiver but you must have to interface it with Microcontroller and whatever program you written for microcontroller it works as transmitter as well as receiver.

So suggested solution is to interface all sensors as well as RFM70 with microcontroller and make your own firmware to achieve task.

godfather, can you please help me with my project?

My project is a device for the motorcycle for accidents and theft. The accelerometer, placed in the helmet, will serve as the collision sensor. When triggered, our blood pressure monitoring device will be activated and at the same time, the GPS is also activated. This triggering is done wirelessly, and we are planning to use the RFM70 for the wireless transmission of triggering signal.

Do we need microcontroller for each(accelerometer, Blood pressure monitor and GPS) ?

You can do all the things via one microcontroller only.
But before that remember if you are using Two RFM70 you need two Microcontroller one for each.

Why you want to measure blood pressure ?

The accelerometer is placed in the helmet, I plan to interface the accelerometer with the RFM70. The blood pressure monitoring device is placed on the wrist of the user, I plan to interface the RFM70 directly to the microcontroller of the blood pressure monitoring device. And the GPS is placed on the motorcycle, I plan to interface the RFM70, AT89S52 and GPS module.

Is this connection right?


I want to measure the blood pressure so that we can monitor the vital signs of the user when an accident happens.

godfather

Should i go ahead? I think people are not interested in RF project.
Ok lets See. 😔

i am a final year engg. student.. n am very much interested in ur guidance..
am trying to study spi in lpc 2148.
so i think i should use RFM70.
so i will let you know my doubts. ok?

Well your idea is OK. But what I see is to interface RFM70 with blood pressure monitor device is need some technical study. if your device is providing data via UART then you can use RFM70+MCU unit with blood pressure device. Again need to check how you are going to make it handy so it is suitable for wrist belt. Accelerometer+RFM70+MCU on helmet is fine. and GPS on motorcycle is also fine. now you have to also think on how to make all device as small as possible and battery powered.

But this is possible for sure. 👍

Sure feel free to post here whatever you want to ask. 😀

So there will be a MCU in the helmet? This is what I understand. And what if it isn't UART? My project becomes more clearer to do because of your help.

now if there is this bp device on wrist, then its gonna be difficult to connect anything to it, as it has to be a small, stand alone, wrist watch like device.
n yes it is; as you have provided in the link above.

you can not interface that device with your mcu , you have to make your own for that purpose.

secondly for that bp device again you have to make one wireless communication may be using rfm70 or something, but then again its hardly gonna fit to your wrist.

jc_0x0

So there will be a MCU in the helmet? This is what I understand. And what if it isn't UART? My project becomes more clearer to do because of your help.

As you are using accelerometer and RFM70 with MCU on helmet no need of UART as you can directly interface accelerometer and RFM70 via SPI. Now you have to communicate with the other device placed on motorcycle and one more with Blood pressure monitor device.

Feel free to ask questions.

where can i find the datasheet for RFM70 module with the communication specs?
thanks!

Hi godfather,
I'm a PhD student and for my project I need to send a 20kHz signal but the maximum I received is 2kHz. I use an RFM70 module with a pic18 (pikit3). I use the HOPE RF program and I tried to speed up the tranmitted signal with an adaptation of the clock (T2CON= 0x7f; PR2=255; OSCTUNEbits.PLLEN=1), I reduced the transmitted signal (3 bytes) and I changed some parameters of the RFM70 (data rate: 2M; interrupt not reflected on IRQ; auto retransmission delay: 250us; disable auto aknowledgement).
Do you know what can I do to obtain a 20kHz signal on the output pin of the received pic18?

Regards

I will check it. will you please tell me what is your exact problem?

godfather

I will check it. will you please tell me what is your exact problem?

With the code I send to you, the maximal signal I have at the outputof the pic18 (port D) is 2kHz. I need 20kHz. The information I need to send by RFM70 is a 3 bytes data. Theoretically I can have a 20kHz reception but There is something which limits the speed of the reception (or of the transmission) signal. Can you help me to find What I need to change in the code in order to rise up the frequency of the signal I receive.

I've got a pair of RFM70 and I am trying to understand the interface. But honestly, it is very confusing as compared to CC2500.

I understood the initialization of module and sample code is good enough for that. But communication part is really tricky.😨
Can someone just sum up the steps for sending and receiving data?

It is same as given in reference code if you follow same code you can easily send receive data. Can you tell me where exactly you stuck?

Is SPI working properly?

I am confused about the steps of sending and receiving data. As far as SPI is concerned, I will be using Hardware SPI which I am learning right now. So will let you know about it.

hi

Im doing a project base on wireless communication .main aim of my
project is i want to on and off the water pump motor which is far from
us . and if ther is no water in well then i want to give some
indication to our so 2 way communication can be done. I am using 2
different RFM70 transceiver modules.and they are interface to a 2
differant PIC microcontroller. But I am not able to programe it.
Interfacing will be done by reading datasheet, but I am having a
problem in the program. So please give me whole programing for my
project. It will helpfull for me.

Hi godfather!
Im newbie at this forum.

I have been working with the RFM70 too.And I want to communicate many Rfm70's moduls.But i don't understand about change address to communicate many moduls.
Sory about English

#ifdef device1
const UINT8 Tx_address[] ={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x01}; // Transmitter Address.
const UINT8 RX0_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x02};//Receive address data pipe 0
const UINT8 RX1_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x03};////Receive address data pipe 1
#endif

#ifdef device2
const UINT8 Tx_address[] ={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x02}; // Transmitter Address.
const UINT8 RX0_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x01};//Receive address data pipe 0
const UINT8 RX1_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x03};////Receive address data pipe 1
#endif

#ifdef device3
const UINT8 Tx_address[] ={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x03}; // Transmitter Address.
const UINT8 RX0_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x01};//Receive address data pipe 0
const UINT8 RX1_Address[]={0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x02};////Receive address data pipe 1
#endif

and


for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
WriteArr[j]=RX0_Address[j];
}
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|10),&(WriteArr[0]),5);

//REG 11 - Rx1 addr
for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
WriteArr[j]=RX1_Address[j];
}
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|11),&(WriteArr[0]),5);

//REG 16 - TX addr
for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
WriteArr[j]=Tx_address[j];
}
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|16),&(WriteArr[0]),5);

so i want >3 moduls communicate so what?

i see about example code I see:
const UINT8 RX0_Address[]={0x34,0x43,0x10,0x10,0x01};//Receive address data pipe 0
const UINT8 RX1_Address[]={0x39,0x38,0x37,0x36,0xc2};////Receive address data pipe 1
and
/*//reg 10 - Rx0 addr
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|10),RX0_Address,5);

//REG 11 - Rx1 addr
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|11),RX1_Address,5);

//REG 16 - TX addr
SPI_Write_Buf((WRITE_REG|16),RX0_Address,5);*/
but it work so what?
sorry about English

//!
//! The RFM70 is a small module (PCB with some components, ~ 18 x 26 mm)
//! that implements a transciever for the license-free 4.3 GHz band.
//! The module contains a small antenna on the PCB,
//! there is no provision for an external antenna.
//! Two versions of the module exist, one with
//! pins and one without. The pins are on a 1.28 mm grid, which is twice the
//! density of a standard DIL package. The module requires 1.9 .. 3.6 Volt
//! for its power, 3.3 Volt seems to be the preferred operating voltage.
//! It is NOT designed to run at 5.0 Volt.
//! According to the datasheet that maximum 'typical' operating current
//! is 23 mA.
//!
//! Note that 'licence free' means that certain well-described use of this
//! frequency band is allowd without a license.
//! The RFM70 is designed to be compatible with the requirements for such
//! use, but it is the responsibility of anyone who sells a product that
//! to make sure that it complies with such rules.
//!
//! The main component of an RFM70 module is the RF70 chip (hidden beneath
//! the black blob). The manufacturer provides separate datasheets for both
//! the RF70 chip and the RFM70 module.
//! The two datasheets seem to be the same, except for the physical
//! and pinout information which is of course different for the chip
//! and the module, so you can probably ignore the RF70 chip datasheet.
//! The RFM70 module datasheet can currently be found at
//! https://www.hoperf.com/upload/rf/RFM70.pdf
//!
//! The RFM70 module is intended for short-range communication,
//! like wireless computer peripherals (mouse, keyboard, tablet, ect.)
//! keyfobs (car opener, garage door opener, motorized fence opener -
//! some cryptografy will probably be required for such applications)
//! and toys. In a line of sight situation a maximum range of 50 .. 100 m
//! is possible. Indoors communication within a single room will generally
//! be OK (unless you have a very large room..) but passing even a single
//! wall can be a problem.
//!
//! An RFM70 module must be used with a microcontroller that initializes
//! and operates the module. By itself the module can not be used as a
//! 'wireless wire', although such a mode could be implemented in the
//! microcontroller. The interface between the RFM70 and the microcontroller
//! is a standard 4-PIN SPI interface (MISO, MOSI, CLCK, CSN) plus a CE
//! (Chip Enable) pin. The module also provides an IRQ pin that could be used
//! to speed up the detection of certain events within the module.
//! The library does not used this pin.
//! The SPI input pins are 5V-tolerant, so provided that
//! the high level as output by the module is accpetable to the
//! microcontroller no glue circuitry is needed to interface to a
//! microcontroller that runs from 5 Volt. (Except for course for a
//! regulator that provides the 3.3 Volt to power the RFM70.)
//!
//! An RFM70 module operates in the 4.3 GHz band.
//! Within that band a frequency can be selected in 1 MHz steps.
//! RFM70 modules can communicate only when they use the same frequency.
//!
//! The RFM70 module operates on a packet basis.
//! Each packet has a destination address.
//! By default the address is a 5 byte value, but a 4 or 3 byte
//! address can also be configured.
//! For succesfull communication the RFM70 modules that are involved must
//! be configures for the same address length, and the receiving
//! module(s) must have one of their so-called pipes configured
//! for the address used by the transmitter.
//!
//! An RFM70 contains 6 so-called data pipes that can receive packages.
//! Each pipe has an address, and will receive only messages
//! for that address.
//! Pipes 0 and 1 have a full (up to 5 bytes) address.
//! For pipes 2 .. 6 only the least significant byte can be
//! configured, the other bytes are copied from the address of pipe 1.
//! The length of the address (3, 4 or 5 bytes) is the same for
//! transmission and for all 6 receive data pipes.
//!
//! A packet contains 1 .. 32 user data bytes.
//! The packet length can either be fixed or flexible.
//! When the packet length is fixed each receiving pipe is configured
//! with its packet length. The length of a package that is sent is
//! determined by the number of bytes written into the transmit buffer,
//! and it it must match the length configured for the receiving pipe.
//! When the packet length is flexible the length of a package is again
//! determined by the number of bytes written into the transmit, but in
//! this case this number is transmitted in the message, and on the
//! receiving side it can be retrieved by the R_RX_PL_WID command
//! (rfm70_channel_payload_size function).
//!
//! The simple way to send a package is without acknowledgement.
//! The RFM70 just transmits the package and considers it done.
//! It can be received by zero, one, or multiple RFM70 modules, but
//! the sending modules does not care and has no way of knowing.
//! For this simple mode of communication the involved RFM70's
//! - must be configured for the same channel frequency
//! - must use the same address length
//! - the receiving RFM70 must have a receive pipe configured
//!  for the same address as used by the transmitting RFM70
//!
//! Alternatively a package can be sent with acknowledgement and
//! (if necessary) retransmission.
//! In this case the RFM70 will send the message, and consider it
//! done only when it receives an acknowledge for it.
//! If it does not receive an acknowledge within a fixed amount of
//! time it will re-transmit the package, up to a set maximum.
//! A receiving RFM70 can automatically send an acknowledgement
//! for a successfully received package.
//! For this to work the same requirements as for simple unacknowledged
//! communicatiobn apply, and additionally on both RFM70's
//! - CRC must be enabled (length 1 or 2) on both modules
//! - receive data pipe 0 must be configured for the same address
//!  as the module uses for transmitting
//!
//! The automatic retransmission provided by the RFM70 uses a fixed
//! retransmission timout, which is probly fine for correcting an
//! occasional packet loss due to interference from other 4.3 GHz sources,
//! but it is potentially inefective when the interference is caused by
//! another RFM70 that uses the same timout! In such cases the
//! microcontroller should implemnet its own retransmission scheme,
//! with for instance a random timeout, and maybe an exponential
//! backoff.

//! \page hardware RFM70 hardware interface
//!
//! \image html smd-pins.jpg
//! \image rtf smd-pins.jpg
//!
//! The RFM70 uses a standard 4-wire SPI interface.
//! It also provides an active low interrupt pin, which could be used to
//! avoid polling. This library does not use the interrupt pin.
//! The RFM70 also has a CE (chip enable) input, which must be de-asserted
//! to put the chip in standby or power-down mode, and must be cycled
//! to switch between receive and transmit mode. Hence the interface
//! uses 5 data pins, plus ground and power (3.3V):
//! - GND : common ground
//! - VDD : 3.3V power
//! - CE : Chip Enable, active high, microcontoller output
//! - CSN : Chip Select Negative, active low, microcontoller output
//! - SCK : Serial ClocK, microcontoller output
//! - MOSI : Master Out Slave In, microcontoller output
//! - MISO : Master In Slave Out, microcontoller input
//! - IRQ : Interrupt ReQuest, not used
//!
//! When the microcontroller operates at 3.3 Volt (or lower,
//! the RFM70 datasheet claims operation down to 1.9 Volt) all lines,
//! including power, 
//! can be connected directly to the microcontroller.
//! If you are experimenting and want to protect yourself against
//! problems when you accidentally configure the pin connected to MISO
//! as output, you could insert a suitable series resistor in this line.
//! 2k2 seems to be a good choice.
//!
//! When the microcontroller operates at 5 Volt there are three possible issues:
//! - power : the RFM70 operates at 1.9 .. 3.3 Volt, so the 5 Volt must somehow
//!  be reduced to a voltage within this range
//! - data from the microcontroller to the RFM70 : no problem here, the
//!  RFM70 inputs are 5 Volt tolerant.
//!  As explained, a series resistor in the MISO line might be a good idea.
//! - data from RFM70 to the microcontroller : in most cases this will not
//!  be a problem, but you might want to check the minimum voltage required
//!  by your microcontroller to reliably detect a logic 1. For instance a
//!  PIC requires ~ 2.0 Volt on a TTL level input, but 0.8 * VDD on a
//!  Schmitt Trigger input! And you must consider this at the maximum VDD
//!  for the microcontroller, which can be 5.5 Volt when delivered by
//!  an 7805 or an USB port.
//!
//! There are various ways to create a 3.3 Volt supply for the RFM70 from a
//! 5 Volt supply. I prefer to use a low-drop low-quiecent
//! current 3.3 Volt linear regulator. Read the datasheet of the regulator
//! carefully: some put very stringent requirements on the value and impedance
//! of the decoupling capacitors. My favourite is the Microchip MCP1702,
//! which has a low quiecent current (5 uA maximum), and is stable with
//! only 1 uF input an output capacitors of any type
//! (ceramic, tantalum, aluminium electrolytic).
//!
//! TBW: picture
//!
//! A crude way to create the power for the RFM70 is to use a
//! resistor divider. I would do this only in an experimental
//! setup on my desk, never in a final product.
//! The source impedance of the divider causes a drop in the
//! voltage when the RFM70 uses more current.
//! This drop can be reduced by lowering the resistor values, but at
//! the cost of a higher current through the resistors. The RFM70
//! can operate down to 1.9 Volt, but at that level the microcontroller
//! might not reliably recognise a logic 1 from the RFM70. Another issue
//! is the dissipation in the resistors. The circuit below is a compromise.
//! It uses three equal-valued resistors because I don't stock many
//! different resistor values.
//! The idle current through the resistors is 83 mA at 5.5 Volt, in
//! this situation the RFM70 gets 3.7 Volt. That is slightly high, but
//! probably not a big problem.
//! When the RFM70 draws its maximum current of 23 mA when the
//! microcontroller's power is at 4.5 Volt the RFM70 still gets 2.6 Volt.
//! You might want to double-check that the microcontroller accepts ~ 2 Volt
//! as a logic 1.
//!

I don't know to process when device 1 receive 6 pipe in time

rfm70_pipe_enable(2,1 );
rfm70_pipe_enable(3,1 );
rfm70_pipe_enable(4,1 );
rfm70_pipe_enable(5,1 );

rfm70_receive_address_p0( RX0_Address );
rfm70_receive_address_p1( RX1_Address );
rfm70_receive_address_pn( 2, 0x04 );
rfm70_receive_address_pn( 3, 0x05 );
rfm70_receive_address_pn( 4, 0x06 );
rfm70_receive_address_pn( 5, 0x07 );

If you want to receive from device 6 to Tx then you must have to swap address.

suppose Tx = 1 and Rx6 = 15 then you have to program this address into transmitter and
Tx = 15 and Rx6 = 1 into Receiver device.

thank you!
So.This is transmitter 2 module.My opinions is "when device receive so have 6 address to receive data and how to know data in each address " and How to open pipe 2,3,4,5.I only use pipe 0,1.And i need more.

Thank you for at all.Godfather!
So I only 2 pipe to transmitter many moduls

I'm not sure what you are asking now. Please explain.

So i have more than 2 module to transmitter but I only open 2 pipe 0,1.I want more pipe and i configure
so it don't work.
And only 2 pipe with swap address How many device i can transmitter

RFM70 is something like one transmitter and 6 Receiver. Program Transmitter and All Six receiver address. You can receive its data to all receiver but in different pipes. I'll try to make one diagram so you can get idea about mechanism.

Thank you for all!
I have completed transmitter many device with swap address .But i don't know with six receiver address when send data from 6 device to 6 address as same time.How to solve

Will you please make one diagram showing that how exactly you want your system to be..So I can check if it is feasible or not.

I'm using same sample code just one or two changes I have implemented it was range only. so I think try to run Sample code first if it is working properly you can add your changes step by step and check where exactly your code stops working. this is the procedure I follow every time I start working on any new Modules.
