The CanSat RF communication is done with the help of an XBee-PRO ZB S2B module w/ U.Fl antenna connector.

Board connectors

The connection to the module is done through following pins:

XBee I/O connections
name pin dir description
data_in b2 in serial link RxD
data_out b4 out serial link TxD
reset_n b6 in reset_n
sleep_rq b8 in sleep control
RSSI_PWM t1 out radio signal strength indication
associate t3 out association indication
dio t5 inout digital I/O
sleep_n t7 out sleep indicator

Setup

An XBee module can work in API mode, providing a complete ZigBee network, or as a simple AT modem. In order to communicate between different modules, a common PAN identifier must be set. The XBee product manual gives the setup information.

The module can be configured via a serial or USB programmer board with the XCTU application.

Coordinator

The XBee module on the CanSat connects to a PC via a ZigBee Coordinator (ZC).

The coordinator is configured as an API ZC.

CanSat modules

The XBee module on the CanSat is configured as a ZigBee Router (ZR).

The modules are configured as AT ZRs.

They all have a distinctive MAC address, starting with the 0013A2 Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). The further 0040B8 are identical on the devices we have acquired and the last 4 hex digits are written on the board. This address will be used by the ZC to connect to the module.

The serial port setup is:

  • 115200 baud
  • 8 bit, no parity

AT commands

The communication can be configured via AT commands. AT mode is entered after a +++ input. The following example shows a terminal connexion to an XBee device in AT mode:

+++OK
ATSH
13A200
ATSL
