Detailed Description

Driver to send and receive unaddressed, unreliable datagrams via an RF22 and compatible radio transceiver.

Works with RF22, RF23 based radio modules, and compatible chips and modules, including:

Data based on https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wireless/General/RFM22B.pdf

Overview

This base class provides basic functions for sending and receiving unaddressed, unreliable datagrams of arbitrary length to 255 octets per packet.

Manager classes may use this class to implement reliable, addressed datagrams and streams, mesh routers, repeaters, translators etc.

On transmission, the TO and FROM addresses default to 0x00, unless changed by a subclass. On reception the TO addressed is checked against the node address (defaults to 0x00) or the broadcast address (which is 0xff). The ID and FLAGS are set to 0, and not checked by this class. This permits use of the this base RH_RF22 class as an unaddressed, unreliable datagram service without the use of one the RadioHead Manager classes.

Naturally, for any 2 radios to communicate that must be configured to use the same frequency and modulation scheme.

Details

This Driver provides an object-oriented interface for sending and receiving data messages with Hope-RF RF22 and RF23 based radio modules, and compatible chips and modules, including the RFM22B transceiver module such as this bare module: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10153 and this shield: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/11018 and this module: http://www.hoperfusa.com/details.jsp?pid=131 and this integrated board: http://www.anarduino.com/miniwireless and RF23BP modules such as this http://www.anarduino.com/details.jsp?pid=130

The Hope-RF (http://www.hoperf.com) RFM22B (http://www.hoperf.com/rf_fsk/fsk/RFM22B.htm) is a low-cost ISM transceiver module. It supports FSK, GFSK, OOK over a wide range of frequencies and programmable data rates. Manual can be found at https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wireless/General/RFM22.PDF

This library provides functions for sending and receiving messages of up to 255 octets on any frequency supported by the RF22B, in a range of predefined data rates and frequency deviations. Frequency can be set with 312Hz precision to any frequency from 240.0MHz to 960.0MHz.

Up to 3 RF22B modules can be connected to an Arduino, permitting the construction of translators and frequency changers, etc.

The following modulation types are suppported with a range of modem configurations for common data rates and frequency deviations:

  • GFSK Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying
  • FSK Frequency Shift Keying
  • OOK On-Off Keying

Support for other RF22B features such as on-chip temperature measurement, analog-digital converter, transmitter power control etc is also provided.

Tested on Arduino Diecimila, Uno and Mega with arduino-0021, 1.0.5 on OpenSuSE 13.1 and avr-libc-1.6.1-1.15, cross-avr-binutils-2.19-9.1, cross-avr-gcc-4.1.3_20080612-26.5. With HopeRF RFM22 modules that appear to have RF22B chips on board:

  • Device Type Code = 0x08 (RX/TRX)
  • Version Code = 0x06 Works on Duo. Works with Sparkfun RFM22 Wireless shields. Works with RFM22 modules from http://www.hoperfusa.com/ Works with Arduino 1.0 to at least 1.0.5. Works on Maple, Flymaple, Uno32.
Packet Format

All messages sent and received by this Driver must conform to this packet format:

  • 8 nibbles (4 octets) PREAMBLE
  • 2 octets SYNC 0x2d, 0xd4
  • 4 octets HEADER: (TO, FROM, ID, FLAGS)
  • 1 octet LENGTH (0 to 255), number of octets in DATA
  • 0 to 255 octets DATA
  • 2 octets CRC computed with CRC16(IBM), computed on HEADER, LENGTH and DATA

For technical reasons, the message format is not protocol compatible with the 'HopeRF Radio Transceiver Message Library for Arduino' http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/HopeRF from the same author. Nor is it compatible with 'Virtual Wire' http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire.pdf also from the same author.

Connecting RFM-22 to Arduino

If you have the Sparkfun RFM22 Shield (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11018) the connections described below are done for you on the shield, no changes required, just add headers and plug it in to an Arduino (but not and Arduino Mega, see below)

The physical connection between the RF22B and the Arduino requires 3.3V, the 3 x SPI pins (SCK, SDI, SDO), a Slave Select pin and an interrupt pin.

Note also that on the RFM22B (but not the RFM23B), it is required to control the TX_ANT and RX_ANT pins of the RFM22 in order to control the antenna connection properly. The RH_RF22 driver is configured by default so that GPIO0 and GPIO1 outputs can control TX_ANT and RX_ANT input pins respectively automatically. On RFM22, you must connect GPIO0 to TX_ANT and GPIO1 to RX_ANT for this automatic antenna switching to occur. See setGpioReversed() for more details. These connections are not required on RFM23B.

If you are using the Sparkfun RF22 shield, it will work with any 5V arduino without modification. Connect the RFM-22 module to most Arduino's like this (Caution, Arduino Mega has different pins for SPI, see below).

                           \--TXON   (TX antenna control in)

and you can then use the default constructor RH_RF22(). You can override the default settings for the SS pin and the interrupt in the RH_RF22 constructor if you wish to connect the slave select SS to other than the normal one for your Arduino (D10 for Diecimila, Uno etc and D53 for Mega) or the interrupt request to other than pin D2 (Caution, different processors have different constraints as to the pins available for interrupts).

It is possible to have 2 radios connected to one Arduino, provided each radio has its own SS and interrupt line (SCK, SDI and SDO are common to both radios)

Caution: on some Arduinos such as the Mega 2560, if you set the slave select pin to be other than the usual SS pin (D53 on Mega 2560), you may need to set the usual SS pin to be an output to force the Arduino into SPI master mode.

Caution: Power supply requirements of the RF22 module may be relevant in some circumstances: RF22 modules are capable of pulling 80mA+ at full power, where Arduino's 3.3V line can give 50mA. You may need to make provision for alternate power supply for the RF22, especially if you wish to use full transmit power, and/or you have other shields demanding power. Inadequate power for the RF22 is reported to cause symptoms such as:

  • reset's/bootups terminate with "init failed" messages -random termination of communication after 5-30 packets sent/received -"fake ok" state, where initialization passes fluently, but communication doesn't happen -shields hang Arduino boards, especially during the flashing

Caution: some RF22 breakout boards (such as the HAB-RFM22B-BOA HAB-RFM22B-BO) reportedly have the TX_ANT and RX_ANT pre-connected to GPIO0 and GPIO1 round the wrong way. You can work with this if you use setGpioReversed().

Caution: If you are using a bare RF22 module without IO level shifters, you may have difficulty connecting to a 5V arduino. The RF22 module is 3.3V and its IO pins are 3.3V not 5V. Some Arduinos (Diecimila and Uno) seem to work OK with this, and some (Mega) do not always work reliably. Your Mileage May Vary. For best result, use level shifters, or use a RF22 shield or board with level shifters built in, such as the Sparkfun RFM22 shield http://www.sparkfun.com/products/11018. You could also use a 3.3V IO Arduino such as a Pro. It is recognised that it is difficult to connect the Sparkfun RFM22 shield to a Mega, since the SPI pins on the Mega are different to other Arduinos, But it is possible, by bending the SPI pins (D10, D11, D12, D13) on the shield out of the way before plugging it in to the Mega and jumpering the shield pins to the Mega like this:

   RF22 Shield        Mega
     D10              D53
     D13              D52
     D11              D51
     D12              D50
Interrupts

The Driver uses interrupts to react to events in the RF22 module, such as the reception of a new packet, or the completion of transmission of a packet. The RH_RF22 interrupt service routine reads status from and writes data to the the RF22 module via the SPI interface. It is very important therefore, that if you are using the RF22 library with another SPI based deviced, that you disable interrupts while you transfer data to and from that other device. Use cli() to disable interrupts and sei() to reenable them.

SPI Interface

The RF22 module uses the SPI bus to communicate with the Arduino. Arduino IDE includes a hardware SPI class to communicate with SPI devices using the SPI facilities built into the Atmel chips, over the standard designated SPI pins MOSI, MISO, SCK, which are usually on Arduino pins 11, 12 and 13 respectively (or 51, 50, 52 on a Mega).

By default, the RH_RF22 Driver uses the Hardware SPI interface to communicate with the RF22 module. However, if your RF22 SPI is connected to the Arduino through non-standard pins, or the standard Hardware SPI interface will not work for you, you can instead use a bit-banged Software SPI class RHSoftwareSPI, which can be configured to work on any Arduino digital IO pins. See the documentation of RHSoftwareSPI for details.

The advantages of the Software SPI interface are that it can be used on any Arduino pins, not just the usual dedicated hardware pins. The disadvantage is that it is significantly slower then hardware. If you observe reliable behaviour with the default hardware SPI RHHardwareSPI, but unreliable behaviour with Software SPI RHSoftwareSPI, it may be due to slow CPU performance.

Initialisation example with hardware SPI

 #include <RH_RF22.h>
 RH_RF22 driver;
 RHReliableDatagram manager(driver, CLIENT_ADDRESS);

Initialisation example with software SPI

 #include <RH_RF22.h>
 #include <RHSoftwareSPI.h>
 RHSoftwareSPI spi;
 RH_RF22 driver(10, 2, spi);
 RHReliableDatagram manager(driver, CLIENT_ADDRESS);
Memory

The RH_RF22 Driver requires non-trivial amounts of memory. The sample programs all compile to about 9 to 14kbytes each on Arduino, which will fit in the flash proram memory of most Arduinos. However, the RAM requirements are more critical. Most sample programs above will run on Duemilanova, but not on Diecimila. Even on Duemilanova, the RAM requirements are very close to the available memory of 2kbytes. Therefore, you should be vary sparing with RAM use in programs that use the RH_RF22 Driver on Duemilanova.

The sample RHRouter and RHMesh programs compile to about 14kbytes, and require more RAM than the others. They will not run on Duemilanova or Diecimila, but will run on Arduino Mega.

It is often hard to accurately identify when you are hitting RAM limits on Arduino. The symptoms can include:

  • Mysterious crashes and restarts
  • Changes in behaviour when seemingly unrelated changes are made (such as adding print() statements)
  • Hanging
  • Output from Serial.print() not appearing

With an Arduino Mega, with 8 kbytes of SRAM, there is much more RAM headroom for your own elaborate programs. This library is reported to work with Arduino Pro Mini, but that has not been tested by me.

The RF22M modules use an inexpensive crystal to control the frequency synthesizer, and therfore you can expect the transmitter and receiver frequencies to be subject to the usual inaccuracies of such crystals. The RF22 contains an AFC circuit to compensate for differences in transmitter and receiver frequencies. It does this by altering the receiver frequency during reception by up to the pull-in frequency range. This RF22 library enables the AFC and by default sets the pull-in frequency range to 0.05MHz, which should be sufficient to handle most situations. However, if you observe unexplained packet losses or failure to operate correctly all the time it may be because your modules have a wider frequency difference, and you may need to set the afcPullInRange to a different value, using setFrequency();

Transmitter Power

You can control the transmitter power on the RF22 and RF23 transceivers with the RH_RF22::setTxPower() function. The argument can be any of the RH_RF22_TXPOW_* (for RFM22) or RH_RF22_RF23B_TXPOW_* (for RFM23) values. The default is RH_RF22_TXPOW_8DBM/RH_RF22_RF23B_TXPOW_1DBM . Eg:

 driver.setTxPower(RH_RF22_TXPOW_2DBM);

The RF23BP has higher power capability, there are several power settings that are specific to the RF23BP only:

  • RH_RF22_RF23BP_TXPOW_28DBM
  • RH_RF22_RF23BP_TXPOW_29DBM
  • RH_RF22_RF23BP_TXPOW_38DBM

CAUTION: the high power settings available on the RFM23BP require significant power supply current. For example at +30dBm, the typical chip supply current is 550mA. This will overwhelm some small CPU board power regulators and USB supplies. If you use this chip at high power make sure you have an adequate supply current providing full 5V to the RFM23BP (and the CPU if required), otherwise you can expect strange behaviour like hanging, stopping, incorrect power levels, RF power amp overheating etc. You must also ensure that the RFM23BP GPIO pins are connected to the antenna switch control pins like so:

 GPIO0 <-> RXON
 GPIO1 <-> TXON

The RF output impedance of the RFM22BP module is 50 ohms. In our experiments we found that the most critical issue (besides a suitable power supply) is to ensure that the antenna impedance is also near 50 ohms. Connecting a simple 1/4 wavelength (ie a 17.3cm single wire) directly to the antenna output will not work at full 30dBm power, and will result in the transmitter hanging and/or the power amp overheating. Connect a proper 50 ohm impedance transmission line or antenna, and prevent RF radiation into the radio and arduino modules, in order to get full, reliable power. Our tests show that a 433MHz RFM23BP feeding a 50 ohm transmission line with a VHF discone antenna at the end results in full power output and the power amp transistor on the RFM22BP module runnning slightly warm but not hot. We recommend you use the services of a competent RF engineer when trying to use this high power module.

Note: with RFM23BP, the reported maximum possible power when operating on 3.3V is 27dBm.

We have made some actual power measurements against programmed power for Sparkfun RFM22 wireless module under the following conditions:

  • Sparkfun RFM22 wireless module, Duemilanove, USB power
  • 10cm RG58C/U soldered direct to RFM22 module ANT and GND
  • bnc connecteor
  • 12dB attenuator
  • BNC-SMA adapter
  • MiniKits AD8307 HF/VHF Power Head (calibrated against Rohde&Schwartz 806.2020 test set)
  • Tektronix TDS220 scope to measure the Vout from power head
     Program power           Measured Power

    (Caution: we dont claim laboratory accuracy for these measurements) You would not expect to get anywhere near these powers to air with a simple 1/4 wavelength wire antenna.
Performance

Some simple speed performance tests have been conducted. In general packet transmission rate will be limited by the modulation scheme. Also, if your code does any slow operations like Serial printing it will also limit performance. We disabled any printing in the tests below. We tested with RH_RF22::GFSK_Rb125Fd125, which is probably the fastest scheme available. We tested with a 13 octet message length, over a very short distance of 10cm.

Transmission (no reply) tests with modulation RH_RF22::GFSK_Rb125Fd125 and a 13 octet message show about 330 messages per second transmitted.

Transmit-and-wait-for-a-reply tests with modulation RH_RF22::GFSK_Rb125Fd125 and a 13 octet message (send and receive) show about 160 round trips per second.

Compatibility with RF22 library
The RH_RF22 driver is based on our earlier RF22 library http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RF22 We have tried hard to be as compatible as possible with the earlier RF22 library, but there are some differences:
  • Different constructor.
  • Indexes for some modem configurations have changed (we recommend you use the symbolic names, not integer indexes).

The major difference is that under RadioHead, you are required to create 2 objects (ie RH_RF22 and a manager) instead of just one object under RF22 (ie RHMesh, RHRouter, RHReliableDatagram or RHDatagram). It may be sufficient or you to change for example:

 RF22ReliableDatagram rf22(CLIENT_ADDRESS);

to:

 RH_RF22 driver;
 RHReliableDatagram rf22(driver, CLIENT_ADDRESS);

and any instance of RF22_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN to RH_RF22_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN

RadioHead version 1.6 changed the way the interrupt pin number is specified on Arduino and Uno32 platforms. If your code previously specifed a non-default interrupt pin number in the RH_RF22 constructor, you may need to review your code to specify the correct interrrupt pin (and not the interrupt number as before).

void setGpioReversed ( bool  gpioReversed = false )

Configures GPIO pins for reversed GPIO connections to the antenna switch.

Normally on RF22 modules, GPIO0(out) is connected to TX_ANT(in) to enable tx antenna during transmit and GPIO1(out) is connected to RX_ANT(in) to enable rx antenna during receive. The RH_RF22 driver configures the GPIO pins during init() so the antenna switch works as expected. However, some RF22 modules, such as HAB-RFM22B-BOA HAB-RFM22B-BO, also Si4432 sold by Dorji.com via Tindie.com have these GPIO pins reversed, so that GPIO0 is connected to RX_ANT. Call this function with a true argument after init() and before transmitting in order to configure the module for reversed GPIO pins.

Parameters:
[in]gpioReversedSet to true if your RF22 module has reversed GPIO antenna switch connections.

Parameters:
[in]idleModeThe chip operating mode to use when the driver is idle. One of the valid definitions for RH_RF22_REG_07_OPERATING_MODE

Definition at line 69 of file RH_RF22.cpp.

Reimplemented from RHGenericDriver.

Definition at line 697 of file RH_RF22.cpp.

void setSyncWords ( const uint8_t *  syncWords,
uint8_t  len 
)

Sets the sync words for transmit and receive in registers RH_RF22_REG_36_SYNC_WORD3 to RH_RF22_REG_39_SYNC_WORD0 Caution: SyncWords should be set to the same value on all nodes in your network.

Nodes with different SyncWords set will never receive each others messages, so different SyncWords can be used to isolate different networks from each other. Default is { 0x2d, 0xd4 }.

Parameters:
[in]syncWordsArray of sync words, 1 to 4 octets long
[in]lenNumber of sync words to set, 1 to 4.

Definition at line 534 of file RH_RF22.cpp.

void setThisAddress ( uint8_t  thisAddress ) [protected, virtual]

Sets the address of this node.

Defaults to 0xFF. Subclasses or the user may want to change this. This will be used to test the adddress in incoming messages. In non-promiscuous mode, only messages with a TO header the same as thisAddress or the broadcast addess (0xFF) will be accepted. In promiscuous mode, all messages will be accepted regardless of the TO header. In a conventional multinode system, all nodes will have a unique address (which you could store in EEPROM). You would normally set the header FROM address to be the same as thisAddress (though you dont have to, allowing the possibilty of address spoofing).

Parameters:
[in]thisAddressThe address of this node.

Reimplemented from RHGenericDriver.

Definition at line 720 of file RH_RF22.cpp.

void setTxPower ( uint8_t  power )

Sets the transmitter power output level in register RH_RF22_REG_6D_TX_POWER.

Be a good neighbour and set the lowest power level you need. After init(), the power will be set to RH_RF22::RH_RF22_TXPOW_8DBM on RF22B or RH_RF22_RF23B_TXPOW_1DBM on an RF23B. The highest power available on RF22B is RH_RF22::RH_RF22_TXPOW_20DBM (20dBm). The highest power available on RF23B is RH_RF22::RH_RF22_RF23B_TXPOW_13DBM (13dBm). Higher powers are available on RF23BP (using RH_RF22_RF23BP_TXPOW_*), and then only with an adequate power supply. See comments above. Caution: In some countries you may only select certain higher power levels if you are also using frequency hopping. Make sure you are aware of the legal limitations and regulations in your region.

Parameters:
[in]powerTransmitter power level, one of RH_RF22_*TXPOW_*
