RF12 wireless driver

This is a driver for the low-cost "RFM12" and "RFM12B" wireless transceiver modules from HopeRF. These are available for the 433, 868, and 915 MHz frequency bands and support a simple but effective byte packet format for sending and receiving small amounts of "signaling" data.

The driver is written in C and works on ATmega and ATtiny microcontrollers. Others have ported it to other microncontrollers, such as MSP430 and ARM.

The RF12demo sketch can be used as general-purpose send or receive node, this can be useful while wriitng and testing your own code with this driver.

  • Main functions: rf12_initialize(), rf12_recvDone(), rf12_canSend(), rf12_sendStart(), rf12_sendNow()
  • Easy transmit wrappers: rf12_easyInit(), rf12_easyPoll(), rf12_easySend()
  • Alternate initialisation: rf12_set_cs(), rf12_spiInit(), rf12_config()
  • Other functions: rf12_control(), rf12_encrypt(), rf12_lowbat(), rf12_onOff(), rf12_sendWait(), rf12_sleep()

See the RF12.h and RF12.cpp files for the actual source code.

TBD

More info coming soon... overview, examples, etc.
