3. Exercise: Transmission in Synchronous Serial Mode

So far, the CC1200 has only been used in receive mode, either to measure the RSSI of a bit stream in synchronous serial mode or the receive a packet in FIFO mode. Now, let us experience the transmission mode. In this exercise we will transmit a bit stream from a sender to a receiver.

CC1200 will be set into synchronous serial mode. In this mode, CC1200 provides clock on one of the GPIO input lines. On the falling edge, data on the serial input line - normally on GPIO0 line - will be transferred on the media.

This task requires

• a ready BeagleBone Black equipped with the CC1200
• one TI Development Kit for the CC1200
• Smart RF Studio.
