Hardware Overview
How does it work?
EnOcean 2 Click is based on the TCM 515Z, a bidirectional transceiver gateway from EnOcean. Z in marking stands for a Zigbee, which uses a worldwide available 2.4GHz frequency and provides a transparent radio link between EnOcean 2.4 GHz devices and an external host connected via the standardized ESP3 interface (EnOcean SerialProtocol V3). The module has low current consumption for receiving and transmitting modes with a typical receiving sensitivity of -95dBm over the onboard 2.4GHz 50ohm whip antenna. It generates its electrical energy by converting electromagnetic, solar, and thermoelectric energy to work as a battery-free self-powered device. The TCM 515Z module supports all radio channels of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, from 11 to channel 26 (the highest frequency). The channel can be set by
a host MCU. TCM 515Z transmits and receives radio telegrams, while the host MCU is responsible for the proper decoding of received telegrams and proper encoding of telegrams to be transmitted. The frame structure consists of PHY Header, MAC Header, MAC Payload, and AMC Trailer. The TCM 515Z module can work in the Receive and Transmit modes and be set into a low-power sleep mode for a defined period. Depending on the usage scenes, it can achieve a range of up to 50m in open spaces, halls, and more. In corridors, plasterboard, or wood walls, it can achieve typically 15m of range. The fire-safety walls, elevator shafts, staircases, and similar areas act as shielded areas. The angle at which the transmitted signal hits the wall is very important, along with the effective wall thickness, and should be considered when
choosing the place to position the device. 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. Additionally, changing the default ESP3 interface speed at power up from 57600 bits per second to 460800 bits per second over the TURBO jumper by connecting the 0ohm resistor to EN position. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level 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.
Features overview
Development board
EasyPIC v7 is the seventh generation of PIC development boards specially designed to develop embedded applications rapidly. It supports a wide range of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers from Microchip and has a broad set of unique functions, such as a powerful onboard mikroProg programmer and In-Circuit debugger over USB-B. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements in one place, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others. With four different connectors for each port, EasyPIC v7 allows you to connect accessory boards, sensors, and custom electronics more efficiently than ever. Each part of
the EasyPIC v7 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An integrated mikroProg, a fast USB 2.0 programmer with mikroICD hardware In-Circuit Debugger, offers many valuable programming/debugging options and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides it also includes a clean and regulated power supply block for the development board. It can use various external power sources, including an external 12V power supply, 7-23V AC or 9-32V DC via DC connector/screw terminals, and a power source via the USB Type-B (USB-B) connector. Communication options such as
USB-UART and RS-232 are also included, alongside the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, three display options (7-segment, graphical, and character-based LCD), and several different DIP sockets. These sockets cover a wide range of 8-bit PIC MCUs, from PIC10F, PIC12F, PIC16F, PIC16Enh, PIC18F, PIC18FJ, and PIC18FK families. EasyPIC v7 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](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-40a0-6b58-88de-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-1.jpg)
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](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-eb29-62fa-ba91-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-2.jpg)
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](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703b-7543-6fbc-9c69-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-3.jpg)
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](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703c-068c-66a4-a4fc-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-4.jpg)

* # Description
* This example reads and processes data from EnOcean 2 clicks.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes driver init and initializes chip and sets callback handler.
*
* ## Application Task
* It checks if a switch is pressed, and logs an appropriate message to the uart terminal.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - enocean2_process ( ) - The general process of collecting data the module sends.
* - callback_handler ( enocean2_packet_t *packet ) - Checks if a new response message is
* ready and executes a response message parsing. Once the response
* parsing is done, shows the response message on the uart terminal.
* - decode_command ( uint8_t cmd ) - Detect which of the 4 buttons is pressed.
