ATAN0046 User Guide for the Evaluation Kit ATA8510-EK1 APPLICATION NOTE Features User guide for the ATA8510-EK1 evaluation kit Demonstrates an application with the RF transceiver Atmel ATA8515 in a base station with an Xplained PRO SAMD20 kit Atmel ATA8510 RF transceiver remote sensor with an AT30TS75A temperature sensor and an optional CMM-1923 real-time clock Two-way RF communication New software version of the SAMD20 base station V2.0 is without FreeRTOS Description This user guide describes an evaluation kit for industrial RF applications having the following components: A base station using an Xplained PRO SAMD20 evaluation kit Xplained PRO OLED1 extension board Xplained PRO ATA8510/15 extension board Remote temperature sensor with Atmel ATA8510 running a Flash application The Atmel ATA8515 is used as an RF transceiver in the base station and runs in polling mode to detect data telegrams and displays the received message on the OLED. The received message is also streamed to a PC terminal program using a virtual COM port connection. The remote sensor includes an AT30TS75A temperature sensor device and a CMM-1923 real-time-clock device for waking up the Atmel ATA8515 RF transceiver. The Flash application reads the temperature data from the sensor device using a TWI bus protocol implemented in software and broadcasts the temperature data via the RF link. The RF application uses a 2-way communication, i.e., the transmitted RF telegrams are acknowledged from the receiver. Atmel-9343D-ATAN0046 Application Note-09/2016The RF link operates on channel 433.92MHz at an 8kBit/s data rate using FSK modulation with Manchester encoding.
