Arduino shield for S2-LP transceiver module - 1

ontrolli Wireless Modules Sub-1 GHz transceiver development kit based on RC-S2LP-XXX module. The RC-S2LP-XXX-EW board is based on RC-S2LP-XXX RadioControlli’s module. This device is a high performance ultra low power RF transceiver designed for RF wireless application in the sub 1GHz band. For more information and details, please refer to : -RC-S2LP-XXX datasheet (www.radiocontrolli.com) -S2LP datasheet (www.st.com). RC-S2LP - XXX - EK Frequency 434=434MHz 868=868MHz 915=915MHz (*) the package includes the Antenna kit The RC-S2LP-XXX-EK is an evaluation board based on the RC-S2LP-XXX module. This module is based on STMicroelectronics chip (S2-LP) that is a sub-1 GHz ultra-low power low data-rate transceiver, suitable for ISM bands and Wireless M-Bus. The Evaluation board can be used instead of those provided by the chip manufacter (www.st.com) denominated STEVALFKIXXXV2. With this board it is possible to use all the SW resources provided for the development activity, in particular : Radiocontrolli s.r.l refuses any responsibility for irregular uses of the devices and for any possible lack or inaccuracy of the data and reserves the right to change in whole or in part these information without notice.

Hardware description The RC-S2LP-XXX-EK evaluation boards are designed to work in the sub 1GHz band (433/868/915 versions). Some features on the boards are (see the picture below) : • RC-S2LP-XXX module (A) • Two rows with Arduino compliant connectors (D1-4) • UFL connector (B) • A NUCLEO-L152RE or NUCLEO-L053R8 evaluation board (G) • A jumper for RC-S2LP-XXX current measurement (H) RC-S2LP-XXX signal test points are split across two rows which are Arduino compliant connectors: CN1, CN2 and Cn3, CN4. The RC-S2LP-XXX shield is connected to the Nucleo motherboard via the Arduino compliant...

ontrolli Wireless Modules Antenna Kit The Antenna kit is composed by : 1) Antenna 433MHz or 868MHz or 915MHz with SMA connector (http://www.radiocontrolli.com/en/categories/11/antenne/) 2) Connection cable UFL/SMA connect to a ground plane Hardware Setup The board can be powered by the Nucleo evaluation board mini USB connector. When the JP1 jumper is fitted (H) in the previous figure, the radio section is supplied. By removing this jumper and connecting a power meter, you can measure the RC-S2LP-XXX current consumption. 1) Connect an antenna to the SMA connector 2) Ensure the jumper...
