Electrical Setup
The StarLite description assumes that the Status output is connected to an active high LED, the Bind
input is connected to an active low pushbutton, and RxD / TxD / RTS / CTS are connected to a
device capable of serial communication. Unless otherwise configured, the baud rate will be set to
9600 baud. The TxSwitch output can be use to control the nRE and DE inputs of RS485 line drivers
such as Texas Instruments SN65HVD3082ED.
Each StarLite must have a unique MAC address. If supplied pre-programmed, the StarLite should
be pre-loaded with a unique address. If you programmed the firmware yourself, the device will
automatically enter the device configuration mode on power-up (indicated by rapid flashing of the
LED) and you will need to set a valid MAC address before using StarLite. (Refer to the device
configuration section below.)
Binding
When first powered up, end devices are orphans. They need to be adopted by a parent coordinator
before they can be used. This process is known as binding. Once bound, end devices will
automatically locate their parent on initialization. A coordinator may have up to 255 children.
To start a network, first power-up the coordinator. Its Status LED will light while it selects a
frequency channel. After a few seconds it will extinguish, indicating that it has initialized.
To bind an orphan end device, press the Bind button on the coordinator. The Status LED will light
indicating that it will accept an orphan device. Power-up the orphan end device. Its Status LED will
light while it locates the coordinator and binds to it. When binding is complete, both LEDs will
extinguish. If it fails to bind, it will reset and retry, unless the Device Configuration or the state of
the sleep pin dictates otherwise.
To re-initialize an end device as an orphan, or to erase a coordinator’s list of children, enter the
device configuration mode by holding the Bind button down for five seconds. (Refer to the Device
Configuration section below.)
Normal Operation
When the coordinator is powered-up, its Status LED will light while it selects a frequency channel.
After a few seconds it will extinguish, indicating that it has initialized. In addition, the RTS line will
go low only when initialization is complete.
Once bound, when an end device is powered-up, its Status LED will light while it tries to find its
parent. If is succeeds, the Status LED will extinguish and the RTS line will go low. In addition, the
status indicator on the coordinator will go high for approximately a quarter of a second. If it fails to
connect, it will continue to retry, or sleep according to the SleepOnFail device configuration setting.
Once reconnection is complete, serial data input to the RxD pin will be output from the TxD pin on
the destination device(s). Data rates from 9600 baud to 115200 baud are possible. (Refer to the
Device Configuration section below.) Flow control is implemented, so if flow control is not desired,
ensure CTS is connected low. The flow control signals are locally generated; they do not reflect the
flow control signal levels on other devices. Serial bytes are 8-bit, no parity, one stop bit.
