... The StarLite firmware provides a less flexible but command-free interface for transparent cable replacement applications. PixieMAC may be used freely with FlexiPanel Pixie and UZBee+ products. Additionally, in quantities of 2500 or more, it may be purchased as design licenses for integration directly on your main PCB. ...

... PXMS: PixieMAC Reduced Function Device, Rx-Of-When-Idle, participates in a IEEE 802.15.4 network, can sleep Frequency channels Pixie operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band on sixteen channels numbered (0x0B to 0x1A in hex). MAC-address communications In theory, devices can communicate at any time by addressing each other by their MAC address (8 bytes, otherwise known as the long address) ...

... Steinlaus tags are also included in the code. Evaluation Kit The easiest way to get to know PixieMAC is with the ZigBee Evaluation Kit available from FlexiPanel. This will also require a Microchip ICD2 In-Circuit Debugger to program the firmware into the Pixie / Pixie Lite supplied. ...

... The sleep input connects to the switch labeled “EP2”. Normally this should be in the low position. If you put it in the low position, Pixie will enter its sleep mode. This will be indicated by the RTS line going high and the RTS led lighting. (Applies to PXMS firmware only; the others can’t sleep.) Source code This firmware is a simple command-based wrapper for the MAC API IEEE 802 ...

... FlexiPanel Ltd. Disabling Timeouts If you’re evaluating PixieMAC by typing in commands, life will be a lot easier if you disable timeouts, so you’re not in a rush to type instructions. Caution, however – you must still respond when required rather than issuing another instruction, otherwise the stack will get in a mess. ...

... An active scan for devices on different channels can be used to determine which networks are operating on which frequencies. Example: +MSCR=000000000000010800F8FF07 +MSCC=EA00000000000108FF0700F8 Another example: +MSCR=000000000000010800F8FF07 +MBNI=03000C01940D020B0000FF07B98084B043D3120110435A00FF4F44E0001100 +MSCC=000112011201010BFF0700F8000B940D0000FF07B98084B0FF4F43D31201E00000 Page 9 14-Jan-08 PixieMAC DS502-2 (request send data 90ABCDEF, length 9898989898989898 long addr mode (0303) ) (confirmation – data sent) (indication – 90ABCDEF 3434343434343434, (request ...

... To join a network, a device must first discover it using an active scan. Only networks with their AssocPermit bit set can be joined. Once a network has been selected, an association request is made: Page 10 14-Jan-08 PixieMAC DS502-2 (Set short address to 0000) (Confirm set short address) (Start PAN ID (Confirm start PAN) ...
Page 11
... If a device has already joined a network but is reinitializing, it does not need to repeat the join procedure. It can simply perform an orphan scan to see if its coordinator acknowledges it. +MSCR=000000000000030800080000 +MSCC=0000000000000303FF070000 Page 11 14-Jan-08 PixieMAC DS502-2 (Associate request, including CapabilityInformation, Channel, Coordinator short (Poll request, including Coord short (Association confirmed – ...

Any version of PixieMAC can be used as a sniffer detector. Page 13 14-Jan-08 PixieMAC DS502-2 (indication –packet received) (request – poll PAN (indication – ...

... Do not send a message until processing of the previous message is complete. After processing a command, PixieMAC ignores all characters until a + character is received. To abandon after starting it by entering +, press Z until a DERI syntax error is generated. After processing a command, PixieMAC ignores all characters until a + character is received. Device Messages Messages starting with a D character relate to device settings and values ...

... Set MAC Address request (DSMR) DSMR specifies a MAC address for PixieMAC. This command may only be completed once, and since it will normally be set for you, this command will usually generate an error. If you use a bootloader to program the PixieMAC firmware, you should first identify and note down the current the MAC address and then re-set it using this command. You may only use the MAC address which the hardware has been allocated. For R& ...

... DVRR requests firmware version information from PixieMAC. PixieMAC will generate a DVRC confirmation in response. Example: +DVRR Version confirm (DVRC) The DVRC confirmation is generated by PixieMAC in response to a DVRR request. Example: +DVRC=0B40011310362105110611 The response takes the form +DVRC=PPPPPPPPVVVVVVDDMMYYTT, where the digits are as follows: PPPPPPPP Product ID (0B400113 indicates PixieMAC firmware) ...
