 This task requires
-  * a ready BeagleBone Black equipped with the CC1200
+  * a ready BeagleBone Black equipped with the CC1200.
-  * one TI Development Kit for the CC1200
+  * 4C attached to a second BeagleBone Black equipped with the CC1200.
-  * Smart RF Studio.
 ===== Tasks  =====
-  * the programming is done by reusing the source files of lesson [[]]
+  * the programming is done by reusing the source files of lesson [[network_protocol_programming_lab:15.3_2_exercise|2. Exercise: Packet Reception]]. Make a copy of the files.
-  * open the CC1200 panel and select “Symbolrate 38.4kbps, 2-GFSK, RX BW 100kHz, ETSI Standard (868MHz)” in the typical settings part
+  * Change the symbol rate to 1.2 kBaud and the preamble count to 6 bytes. If necessary reexport the register value from 4C.
-  * press the button “Packet RX” in the lower window. Some registers in the register view will change their value
+  * Read chapter 9.12 ff. about programming the RF frequency in the [[http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru346b/swru346b.pdf?ts=1588225642109|CC1200 Users Guide]] and implement it.
-  * in the option ''length config'' change ''variable'' to ''fixed''.
+  * you should implement a function for programming the frequency and printing the current programmed frequency.
-  * now, choose an appropriate length of the ''Length'' field, e.g. 10.
+  * for testing compare your computed values of the FREQ registers with SmartRF Studio.
-  * export all registers to a file. This means 208 registers must be exported.
+  * In your program, set RF to an arbitrary value (e.g. 851 MHz) within the supported frequency band of CC1200.
-  * connect the BeagleBone Black to your computer and login as superuser.
+  * In SmartRF Studio also change the symbol rate to 1.2 kBaud and the preamble count to 6 Bytes.
-  * copy the export file from SmartRF Studio to the BeagleBone Black
+  * Bring 4C in “TX Packet Mode" using the default frequency (858MHz).
-  * import the export file into your program and initialize the registers according the values of the export file.
+  * start the transmitter. At the receiver, the BeagleBone Black, you should now receive **NO** packet.
-  * verify that the registers have been written correctly.
+  * Now, stop the transmitter and change the frequency to your selected frequency.
-  * Read chapter 8 about the packet handling of the [[http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru346b/swru346b.pdf?ts=1588225642109|CC1200 Users Guide]] and implement it.
+  * Now, you should be able to receive the packets.
-  * Bring SmartRF Studio in “Packet TX” mode, change the ''length config'' to fixed and change the ''Length'' field to the value used in the export file
-  *  start the transmitter. At the receiver, the BeagleBone Black, You should now receive the packets.
-If you are able to receive packets in fixed length mode, the next step will be to receive packets in variable length mode:
+===== Hints  =====
-  * go back to SmartRF Studio and change the ''length config'' to ''variable''
+  * take care on rounding errors. E.g. the frequency should be 868 MHz and not 867.5 MHz.
-  * look, which registers have been changed.
-  * modify the changed registers in your program. You do not need to reexport the complete registers.
-  * now, implement variable length packets and test it.
