OOK TX Click

OOK TX Click is a simple wireless transmitter that operates at the frequency of 433MHz (sub-GHz). This device allows realization of a simple, low-speed wireless ad-hoc communication network between a transmitter and compatible receiver, such as the OOK RX Click.

• Author : Stefan Filipovic
• Date : Nov 2023.
• Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the OOK TX Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for OOK TX Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• ooktx_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void ooktx_cfg_setup ( ooktx_cfg_t *cfg );

• ooktx_init Initialization function.

  err_t ooktx_init ( ooktx_t *ctx, ooktx_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• ooktx_send_data This function builds and sends a packet of data. The packet format is as follows (MSB first, manchester IEEE 802.3): OOKTX_TRAINING_BYTES, PREABMLE, LEN, DATA_IN, CRC16 (calculated from whole packet excluding training bytes).

  static void ooktx_send_data ( ooktx_t *ctx, uint16_t preamble, uint8_t *data_in, uint8_t len );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of OOK TX Click board by sending a predefined message to the receiver.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialized the driver and logger.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;          /**< Logger config object. */
    ooktx_cfg_t ooktx_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_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    ooktx_cfg_setup( &ooktx_cfg );
    OOKTX_MAP_MIKROBUS( ooktx_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( DIGITAL_OUT_UNSUPPORTED_PIN == ooktx_init( &ooktx, &ooktx_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Sends a predefined message every 3 seconds and displays it on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    log_printf ( &logger, " Sending data: %s\r\n\n", ( char * ) OOKTX_MESSAGE );
    ooktx_send_data ( &ooktx, OOKTX_PREAMBLE, OOKTX_MESSAGE, strlen ( OOKTX_MESSAGE ) );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Note

The OOK RX Click board is a compatible receiver for the OOK TX Click. Here are a few steps for troubleshooting if you are experiencing issues running this example:

• Check the MCU clock configuration, use an external oscillator instead of the MCU's internal one for better accuracy on manchester data rate delay.
• Measure the actual data rate on the data line and adjust the OOKTX_MAN_BIT_LEN_US value accordingly.

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.OOKTX

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
