ZULU-M-ARDUINO

Arduino RF Shield Zulu 2km Radio Link Features • RF serial Data upto 2KM Range • Serial Data Interface with Handshake • Host Data Rates up to 38,400 Baud • RF Data Rates to 56Kbps • 5 User Selectable Channels • Secure Data Protocol • CE Compliant for Licence Free Use • 868MHz or 915MHz Versions Description The ZULU Arduino provides a radio (Modem) link with easy interface to for upto 2KM range. Range may be further extended with suitable antenna. All RF operation is auto controlled (with error checking etc) so the ZULU Arduino can be treated as a simple Communications device. This shield is also compatible with the RF Solutions Blizzard Modem. The shield is ready to plug and play with default setting serial port set to 4800, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit (Hardware CTS / RTS). Ordering Information Part Number Description ZULU-M-ARDUINO ZULU Modem Arduino Shield Board Shield Connections DS-ZULU-M-ARDUINO-2 ZULU Arduino Shield Description: Serial Data Format Baud Rate: Defined by DR1 and DR2 Pins Data Bits: 8, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit Flow Control: Hardware CTS / RTS CTS, RTS Clear to Send and Request to Send are standard data flow control used in RS232 systems, these are standard but operate at the Zulu Vcc low level voltage. If no handshaking required RTS (Arduino D3) may be pulled low, however beware of data overrun errors of transmitting streams of data longer than the data buffer! RESET If J5 (1-2, 3-4) are unconnected Reset and PD are disabled. If J5 (1-2, 3-4) are connected Reset and PD are enabled and controlled by Arduino. DR1 - DR2 These inputs define the host interface Baud Rate. They are read when RESET pin goes high. Tip: It is good practice to operate the host interface at half the speed of the RF data rate (set by Register R5. DR1 DR2 Host Baud Rate Vcc / Unconnected Vcc / Unconnected GND GND Vcc / Unconnected GND Vcc / Unconnected GND 4,800 9,600 19,200 38,400 PD This input enables ‘Sleep’ Mode. For normal operation connect to Vcc. No RF packets will be received by the module when it is in sleep mode. WRE Controls where the User configuration parameters are saved in internal EEPROM (Non Volatile) or RAM (Volatile) Un-used. This may be ignored unless the application requires specific address timing on powerup. DS-ZULU-M-ARDUINO-2 ZULU Arduino Operation Overview The ZULU MODEM Module provides a simple Modem interface to the host controller. It handles all RF data communications automatically and without any requirement from the user (RF packetizing, Preamble, Encoding, CRC Check etc). With this powerful high-speed Radio link. The following networks can be realised; One-to-One operation; for point to point data communication. One-to-Many; A network consisting a master and many slaves (the receivers all have the same address). Many-to-One; Where the transmitters all send to a single receiver address. Because each ZULU MODEM can contain a unique address, multiple ZULU networks can co-exist in the same area. Broadcast operation; Where a single master Zulu MODEM addresses many ZULU MODEMS concurrently. (using many ZULU MODEM modules set to the same address). Operating Modes: Configuration Mode: In Configuration mode the Zulu MODEM can receive a number of commands and the internal registers can be pre-set to control its operation. In this mode the Zulu MODEM is ‘Offline’ and cannot send or receive RF data. Normal Operation: ZULU MODEM is ’Online’ automatically transmitting and receiving data from its host and across the RF network. Each ZULU MODEM has its own pre-set address. This is user set during configuration. Any data received is examined and the address header embedded within the data packet is compared with its address. Only data received with matching address will be processed and output to the host, all other data will be discarded. All ZULU MODEM modules are shipped with a default address of 7F7F7F. The ZULU MODEM contains an on-board data buffer equal to two data packets. Therefore if RTS is asserted (then the host is unable to receive data) the module will store a max of two data packets, all further data packets received will be discarded. DS-ZULU-M-ARDUINO-2 ZULU Arduino Configuration Mode (offline) Commands can be set using a standard Terminal program or by sending the relevant ASCII characters. Each Command must be followed by the Carriage Return or ‘Enter’ Note: All commands are entered in upper case. Command Description Response from Zulu Enter Configuration Mode +++ ? F H P Note: these must be sent as a string with no char in front or behind this is to ensure that the +++ is not mistakenly received in mid data. retrieve the current register values Zulu responds with Status info Zulu responds with all Register Values set factory defaults; R1=7F7F7F R2=7F7F7F R3 = Ch2 (869.450MHz) R4 = 7 (+20dBm) R5 = 1 (19K2) ‘OK’ Help Brief description of commands available Ping Mode This sends a ping request . The originating Zulu Modem will respond with the Recipient Zulu Modems’ response, eg. Received from 7F7F7F (D5) On receiving, the recipient Zulu Modem will respond with its address and the level of RSSI (Received Signal Strength) The Ping command is continuously repeated every 1 second until any command or character is entered. Where 7F7F7F = the recipient Address D5= RSSI RSSI Is a Hex value corresponding to the received signal strength Min = 20hex Max =E0hex S S Save Configuration ‘SAVED’ Q Exit configuration mode and return to online mode No response DS-ZULU-M-ARDUINO-2 ZULU Arduino Register Setting (Configuration Mode) The internal registers enable various parameters to be controlled. To set a register type ‘R#=x’ where # is the register number (1-6) and x is the value to set For example, to set the channel to channel 3 type the following. R3=3 (Where is carriage return or enter on the keyboard) The modem will then return ‘OK’ or ‘Error’ if an incorrect command is entered. Save the changes by typing S The modem will return with ‘SAVED’ Default values are shown in BOLD Register Value Range Description Example R1 0000 - FFFFFF (24 bit address) Sets the recipient Zulu MODEM Address R1=0001 (Data sent is addressed to Set own Zulu Modem address R2=F001 (Data sent is from Zulu MODEM with address F001) 0000 - FFFFFF (24 bit address) R2 R3 CH0 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 = = = = = 868.400 868.900 869.450 869.600 869.800 MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz 0 = +1dBm 1 = +2dBm 2 = +5dBm 3 = +8dBm 4 = +11dBm 5 = +14dBm 6 = +17dBm R4 0 1 2 3 R5 = = = = 9,600 19,200 28,800 56,000 Set RF channel R3=2 (Transmit on Channel 2) Set the RF Transmit Power output* R4=7 (sets Transmit Power to max)* Set the RF baud rate* R5=3 (sets the RF data rate to 56Kbps) Channel Number Frequency Centre (MHz) EU Power Allowance mW / dBm 0 1 2 3 4 868.400 868.900 869.450 869.600 869.800 25 / 14 25 / 14 100 / 20 100 / 20 25 / 14 Notes Applicable standard - EN300-220 Notes on power and frequency The EU standard sets maximum power transmission limits dependent on the frequency, the bandwidth and the application.
