The Demo-Software implemets an UART-to-Radio protocol. For an easy use the pakets to the uart have to be send as hex-values as ASCII, meaning 0x00 ia send as "00". Only '0'-'9' and 'A'-'F' are accepted letters. Additionaly there is an 'Magic Word' - the letter 'S'. The 'S' is used as sync byte to start a packet.
 
−
The packets to the UART alway have a fixed sceme:
 
−
*first letter is the 'S'
 
−
*followed by 2 bytes length of the packet (N + 1(type) +16(address))
 
−
*followed by 16 bytes IPv6 address of the destination, the IPv6 address ::1 is reserved for the Local Host. Packets to the ocal host are not sent over radio, but they are commands to the module.
 
−
*followed by 1 type-byte, that determines the type of the packet. When a module receives the packet, it decides with the type how to handle the packet data. There are several packet types pre-defined - as seen below.

ICradio ZWIR4512 OEM

The ICradio ZWIR4512 OEM module is a | 6loWPAN radio module. The delivered 6LowPAN radio stack is able to build up a meshing network. Every node is automatically relaying packets. So the user does not need to care about meshing. Just send packets to the nodes, the network will route the packets to the destination. The 6LowPAN Stack is delivered by ZMDi. It is a free for use software library in addition of some C-header files. For an easy startup with the ICradio ZWIR4512 OEM radio modules, In-Circuit deliveres the modules with a small application software. This software connects to the UART and RF interfaces and handles some packets.
