LR 4 Click

LR 4 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a long-range transceiver. This board features the 32001353, RF technology-based SRD transceiver, which operates at a frequency of 868MHz from Mipot.

Click library

• Author : MikroE Team
• Date : jun 2020.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the LR4 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 form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for LR4 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• Config Object Initialization function.

  void lr4_cfg_setup ( lr4_cfg_t *cfg );

• Initialization function.

  LR4_RETVAL lr4_init ( lr4_t ctx, lr4_cfg_t cfg );

Example key functions :

• Function performs the recovery of EEPROM default values.

  LR4_RETVAL lr4_factory_reset ( lr4_t *ctx );

• Function writes data to EEPROM.

  LR4_RETVAL lr4_write_eeprom ( lr4_t ctx, uint8_t address, uint8_t n_bytes, uint8_t data_in );

• Function performs the transmission of radio frames.

  LR4_RETVAL lr4_tx_message ( lr4_t ctx, lr4_tx_msg_t tx_msg );

Examples Description

This example reads and processes data from LR 4 clicks.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver, and resets the Click board to factory default configuration. Then performs a group of commands for getting the FW version, the serial number, and the DevEUI. After that executes the join activation by personalization command.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    lr4_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * 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.

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

• Click.LR4

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. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
