Thyone-I click

Thyone-I Click is a compact add-on board for wireless communication in various devices like control systems, remote controls, and sensor nodes. This board features the WIRL-PRO2 Thyone-I (2611011021000) module from Würth Elektronik. It operates in the 2.4GHz license-free band, ensuring secure and reliable data transmission in both point-to-point and mesh configurations. It features versatile connectivity options with onboard and external antenna support, a data transmission rate of up to 2Mbit/s, and embedded security with hardware-accelerated encryption.

Click library

• Author : Stefan Ilic
• Date : Dec 2023.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Thyone-I 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 Thyone-I Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• thyonei_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void thyonei_cfg_setup ( thyonei_cfg_t *cfg );

• thyonei_init Initialization function.

  err_t thyonei_init ( thyonei_t *ctx, thyonei_cfg_t *cfg );

• thyonei_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  void thyonei_default_cfg ( thyonei_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• thyonei_get_req This command can be used to set individual setting parameters in flash of Thyone-I click board.

  err_t thyonei_get_req ( thyonei_t *ctx, uint8_t settings_index, uint8_t *param_len, uint8_t *parameter );

• thyonei_multicast_data_req This command provides the multicast data transmission to a group of modules configured with the same MAC GROUP ADDRESS of Thyone-I click board.

  err_t thyonei_multicast_data_req ( thyonei_t *ctx, uint8_t message_len, uint8_t *message );

• thyonei_unicast_data_req This command provides the unicast data transmission to the configured MAC DESTINATION ADDRESS of Thyone-I click board.

  err_t thyonei_unicast_data_req ( thyonei_t *ctx, uint8_t message_len, uint8_t *message );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the Thyone-I click board by sending and receiving data and displaying them on the USB UART.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration and setting the MAC addresses and mode.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;          /**< Logger config object. */
    thyonei_cfg_t thyonei_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.

Application Task

Transmitter mode - Sending data to the devices within range ( thyonei_broadcast_data_req ), with same MAC group ( thyonei_multicast_data_req ) and with the selected MAC destination address ( thyonei_unicast_data_req ). Receiver mode - Reads and processes all incoming data and displays them on the USB UART.

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.
