Transceiver Communication • Used two Linx EVM-915-250 transceivers with evaluation boards with breadboard to attempt communication between the two devices 1 2 3 24 3 1 2 24
Transceiver Communication • Fed 4V input supply to Vcc • Created arbitrary analog pulse (square wave) on function generator as input to transmitting transceiver • Checked receiving end to observe signal
Initial Results • Function generated signal seen to be fed through receiving input of one transceiver • Output of same transceiver showed periodic but non-square wave signal • Input of second transceiver showing same periodic signal • Thoughts: Square wave signal was not being sent properly; need to try to use Raspberry Pi to create digital signal to send • May require more complicated circuitry
Next Step • Use Raspberry Pi tutorials to allow for complete interface with transceiver/understanding of implementation • Research Raspberry Pi with LCD screen as possible solution to user device • Reasoning: Using Raspberry Pi with testing implies knowledge and experience already gained – makes sense to continue using in final product • Also fairly cheap and looks appealing at first glance
