XBEE Click

XBEE Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Click Library

• Author : Stefan Filipovic
• Date : Feb 2024.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of an XBEE Click board by showing the communication between the two Click boards configured in transparent mode.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.XBEE

Example Key Functions

• xbee_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void xbee_cfg_setup ( xbee_cfg_t *cfg );

• xbee_init Initialization function.

err_t xbee_init ( xbee_t *ctx, xbee_cfg_t *cfg );

• xbee_get_serial_number This function sends a get serial number command.

err_t xbee_get_serial_number ( xbee_t *ctx );

• xbee_set_device_name This function sets the device name (node identifier).

err_t xbee_set_device_name ( xbee_t *ctx, char *dev_name );

• xbee_set_destination_address This function sets the destination address high and low bytes.

err_t xbee_set_destination_address ( xbee_t *ctx, char *dest_addr_high, char *dest_addr_low );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and configures the Click board by performing a factory reset, and setting the device name, destination address, and api mode to transparent.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    xbee_cfg_t xbee_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

    log_printf( &logger, " Application Mode: Receiver\r\n" );

}

Application Task

Depending on the selected application mode, it reads all the received data or sends the desired message every 3 seconds.

void application_task ( void )
{
#ifdef DEMO_APP_TRANSMITTER
    xbee_generic_write( &xbee, DEMO_TEXT_MESSAGE, strlen( DEMO_TEXT_MESSAGE ) );
    log_printf( &logger, "%s", ( char * ) DEMO_TEXT_MESSAGE );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 ); 
#else
    xbee_process( );
    if ( app_buf_len > 0 ) 
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "%s", app_buf );
        xbee_clear_app_buf(  );
    }
#endif
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
