ZigBee click

ZigBee Click is a compact add-on board that contains a fully integrated Zigbee transceiver with a 32-bit ARM® Cortex M3TM microprocessor, Flash and RAM memory, and peripherals. This board features the ETRX357, 2.4 GHz Zigbee Radio module from Silicon Labs, which has been designed to be easily integrated and to provide a fast, simple, and low-cost wireless mesh networking interface.

Click library

• Author : Stefan Ilic
• Date : Oct 2021.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the ZigBee 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 ZigBee Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• zigbee_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void zigbee_cfg_setup ( zigbee_cfg_t *cfg );

• zigbee_init Initialization function.

  err_t zigbee_init ( zigbee_t *ctx, zigbee_cfg_t *cfg );

• zigbee_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t zigbee_default_cfg ( zigbee_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• zigbee_send_at Function merges two string and sends it to device.

  void zigbee_send_at ( zigbee_t *ctx, uint8_t *at_buf, uint8_t *suffix_buf );

• zigbee_resp Function checking driver buffer string.

  uint8_t zigbee_resp ( zigbee_t *ctx, char *data_in );

• zigbee_set_pin_rst Function setting RST pin status.

  void zigbee_set_pin_rst ( zigbee_t *ctx, uint8_t status );

Example Description

This is an example that demonstrates the use of the ZigBee Click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialization of driver, UART ISR and then configures device. Depending on previous selected device mode it creates new PAN network or joins to one.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    zigbee_cfg_t zigbee_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.

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.ZigBee

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.
