EnOcean Click

How does it work?

EnOcean Click is based on the TCM310, a bidirectional transceiver gateway module from EnOcean. It enables the realization of gateways for the EnOcean 868MHz radio systems by providing a bidirectional radio interface at the one end and a serial interface at the other end, with an ASK modulation type and data rate of 125Kbps. The module has low current consumption for receiving and transmitting modes with receiving sensitivity of -96dBm over the onboard 868MHz chip antenna. It generates its electrical energy by converting electromagnetic, solar, and thermoelectric energy to work as a battery-free self-powered device. The TCM310 module can act as a postmaster for up to 15 bidirectional sensors using Smart Ack technology.

The EnOcean module uses the UART interface with commonly used UART RX and TX pins as its default communication protocol for communication with the host microcontroller. In addition, this Click board™ also features read and operating modes, which can be activated using the EN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. The operating mode is set by default with a pull-down resistor. The reset pin routed on the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket provides the general module-reset ability.

This Click board™ can only be operated from a 3.3V logic voltage level. Therefore, the board must perform appropriate logic voltage conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Software Support

We provide a library for the EnOcean 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 EnOcean Click driver.

Key functions

• Response Ready function

• UART Interrupt Routine function

• Packet Send function.

Example Description

This example reads and processes data from EnOcean clicks.

 void application_task ( void ) 
 { 
     enocean_uart_isr ( &enocean ); 
     check_response ( ); 
     Delay_1ms( ); 
 }

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.enOcean

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.

mikroSDK

This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK – MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
