inside the battery compartment).

3. If the USB power option is selected, connect the board to a PC using the included USB to mini-USB

cable. The USB connection also enables the PC GUI functionality.

2.1.3.2 Satellite Board MSP-EXP430F5137Rx

1. Insert the two AAA batteries that are provided with the kit into the provided battery pack. Observe the

correct polarity (see the markings inside the battery holder).

NOTE: If the board is powered by batteries or through the DC connector, the emulator is not

powered and keeps the connected target device in RESET. Therefore, the Debug (SBW)

selector must be set to the "Satellite" board for the User Experience software to operate.

2. Connect the included battery pack to the MSP-EXP430F5137Rx via the 3-pin connector CON3.

2.2 Software Preparation

The steps described in the following sections are not required for the MSP-EXPCC430RFx Experimenter

Kit stand-alone demo. For all other purposes that require PC software interaction, proper installation of the

hardware driver and the software is required. To develop applications, it is also necessary to install one of

the IDEs shown in the Tools and Software section of the MSP430 landing page www.ti.com/msp430. More

information on how to start developing applications on the MSP-EXPCC430RFx platform or with the

CC430 RF SoC devices can be found on the www.ti.com/msp-expcc430rfx.

All of the MSP-EXPCC430RFx User Experience firmware and software that is described in the following

sections is provided in both binary (executable) and source code forms, along with drivers and supporting

documentation. An installation package can be downloaded from MSP-EXPCC430RFx Software

Download. The same software package link and updates can also be found in the MSP-EXPCC430RFx

tool folder, http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-expcc430rfx. When this package is installed, all user experience

application demos are stored in the Software folder in the selected installation directory (the default

directory is C:\ti\msp430\), and the source code for the projects is installed to the src folder.

2.2.1 USB Driver

The USB driver must be installed for the PC to communicate with the MSP-EXP430F6137Rx based board

through USB. If this is the first time the MSP-EXP430F6137Rx based board is connected to the PC, install

the USB serial COM port driver located at [INSTALL_PATH]\USB_Driver\USB_Driver.exe.

NOTE: The USB drivers are integrated into the installer packages for the Code Composer Studio

IDE (version 5+) or IAR Embedded Workbench IDE (version 5.20+) and do not require a

second installation if one of these IDEs has already been installed.

2.2.2 Software Package Installation

Open the MSP-EXPCC430RFx Software Package to start the installation (MSP-EXPCC430RFx Software

Download). Accept the license agreement and specify the install path (the default path is C:\ti\msp430).

2.3 MSP-EXPCC430RFx User Experience

The MSP-EXPCC430RFx User Experience includes two projects:

1. Firmware applications that are pre-loaded on the MSP-EXP430F6137Rx Base Board and the MSP-

EXP430F5137Rx Satellite Board to demonstrate a stand-alone wireless network using the SimpliciTI

protocol.

2. When the Base Board is connected to the PC, the CC430 Wireless Network GUI program can be used

to enable visualization of the wireless sensor network.

2.4 MSP-EXPCC430RFx Firmware Applications

The MSP-EXPCC430RFx User Experience application forms a star network using the SimpliciTI protocol.

The Satellite Board acts as the End Device, and the Base Board acts as the Access Point. The Base

Board can connect to a PC via the USB cable and transmit information back to the CC430 Wireless

Network GUI running on the PC.

2.4.1 Access Point (AP or Hub)

The MSP-EXP430F6137Rx Base Board functions as the Access Point (also called the Hub), to create and

broadcast the star network using the SimpliciTI protocol. It allows compatible End Devices (EDs) to join

the network. The Base Board displays the status and sensor information of the devices on the network on

its LCD. The Base Board also provides its own status and sensor (temperature and light sensors)

information to the display. The Base Board captures more detailed network and device information and

provides that information to the PC GUI through the UART-USB bridge if the USB connection is enabled

between the board and the PC.

To start and operate the MSP-EXP430F6137Rx Base Board:

1. The MSP-EXP430F6137Rx Base Board displays "Access Point Up" on the LCD and starts accepting

connections from the Satellite Boards.

2. When a new ED successfully joins the network, the LCD briefly displays "Added New Device" and

resumes displaying network information.

3. When the network is active, the LCD displays the information of the AP and connected EDs. The first

digit on the LCD indicates the address of the device (a number for an ED, 'H' for the Hub or AP).

Subsequent digits show the temperature or RSSI value of the device.

4. The UP and DOWN buttons on the Base Board can be used to cycle through the device list.

5. The LEFT and DOWN buttons on the Base Board can be used to toggle the LCD to show the

temperature or the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value from the EDs. If the AP (Hub) is

currently selected, the LCD switches between the temperature of the AP and the analog reading of the

light sensor.

2.4.2 End Device (ED)

The MSP-EXP430F5137Rx Satellite Board functions as an End Device on the star network that is created

using the SimpliciTI protocol.

1. When supplied with power, the Satellite Board seeks out compatible network broadcasts from an AP

and attempts to join the network. During this phase, the on-board LED slowly toggles on and off to

indicate each attempt.

2. After it successfully joins the network, the Satellite Board periodically measures its temperature and

transmits its heartbeat message to the AP. Each transmission is indicated by the brief pulse of the

LED.

3. Additionally, the push button can be used to transmit an Alert message, which causes the AP to show

this ED's information on the LCD. The exclamation mark (!) on the LCD also briefly turns on, further

highlighting the Alert message to the user.
