Hardware Overview

How does it work?

EnOcean 4 Click is based on the TCM515U, a transceiver gateway module that operates at 902MHz radio band from EnOcean. Its fully integrated radio capability enables communications with other devices by using an onboard PCB antenna, so no additional antennas are needed for testing this device. The TCM515U can work in three functional modes: Telegram Reception, Telegram Transmission, Low Power Sleep. In receive mode, TCM515U processes received radio telegrams and verifies correct frame structure and check sum. In transmit mode, TCM515U receives radio telegrams for transmission from the external host via its

ESP3 interface. TCM515U can be set into a low power sleep mode for a defined period of time , after expiry of the requested sleep period, TCM515U will automatically wake-up and transition back to receive mode. Each TMC515U module contains it own EnOcean Unique Radio ID (EURID) which can be used during transmission for data authentication. Beside this feature, its also possible setting for each module Base ID or Broadcast ID depending from the application that you are designing. Another important feature is SLF (Security Level Format) which specifies the parameters of the encryption, authentication and rolling code algorithms

used for communication with a specific device, which eanbles TCM515U to encrypt and decrypt telegrams using AES128 based on a 16 byte security key. The TCM 515U provides a transparent radio link between EnOcean radio devices and an external host connected via UART interface using the standardized EnOcean Serial Protocol V3 (ESP3) communication protocol. The default interface speed for this module of the ESP3 (UART) interface is 57600. Additionally, it is possible to change the default ESP3 interface speed at power up from 57600 Bit per second to 460800 Bit per second by setting the TURBO pin to LOW.

Features overview

Development board

Fusion for STM32 v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from STMicroelectronics, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for STM32 v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing

access anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for STM32 v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.

Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for STM32 v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output

After pressing the "FLASH" button on the left-side panel, it is necessary to open the UART terminal to display the achieved results. By clicking on the Tools icon in the right-hand panel, multiple different functions are displayed, among which is the UART Terminal. Click on the offered "UART Terminal" icon.

UART Application Output Step 1

Once the UART terminal is opened, the window takes on a new form. At the top of the tab are two buttons, one for adjusting the parameters of the UART terminal and the other for connecting the UART terminal. The tab's lower part is reserved for displaying the achieved results. Before connecting, the terminal has a Disconnected status, indicating that the terminal is not yet active. Before connecting, it is necessary to check the set parameters of the UART terminal. Click on the "OPTIONS" button.

UART Application Output Step 2

In the newly opened UART Terminal Options field, we check if the terminal settings are correct, such as the set port and the Baud rate of UART communication. If the data is not displayed properly, it is possible that the Baud rate value is not set correctly and needs to be adjusted to 115200. If all the parameters are set correctly, click on "CONFIGURE".

UART Application Output Step 3

The next step is to click on the "CONNECT" button, after which the terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.

UART Application Output Step 4

/*!
 * \file 
 * \brief Enocean4 Click example
 * 
 * # Description
 * This example reads and processes data from EnOcean 4 clicks.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 * 
 * ## Application Init 
 * Initializes the driver and configures the click board.
 * 
 * ## Application Task  
 * In the receiver mode, it waits for a telegram, then replies to it with the certain message.
 * In the transmitter mode, first it sends the telegram with the certain message, 
 * then waits for a response.
 * 
 * ## Additional Function
 * - resp_message - Displays the response message on the USB UART.
 * - packet_type - Displays the packet type message on the USB UART.
 * - make_response - Driver handler function which stores data in the response buffer.
 * - log_response - Displays a response on the USB UART.
 * - send_telegram - Allows user to send a telegram to the determined destination.
 * - check_response - Waits until response is ready, then displays it on the USB UART.
