WSH CC2530 Eval Kit

This product includes ONLY one CC2530 module, while at least two CC2530 modules are required to setup a ZigBee network.

Overview

CC2530 Eval Kit is a ZigBee development/evaluation kit designed for CC2530F256, consists of the mother board ZB502 and the ZigBee moduleCore2530.

Basically this kit can be used in two aspects :

• Develop application with the provided firmware
  Combined with our provided firmware, you can use this kit to set up a minimal ready-to-run ZigBee system for testing or evaluating, and requires NO knowledge about the complicate ZigBee Specification
• Develop your own firmware
  In this case, you should start from the very underlying to create your solution, what's more, debuggers (like CC Debugger) and knowledge about ZigBee Specification are also required

ZB502 Features

• Onboard battery holder, multi power supplies are available
• All the IOs are accessible for easy expansion
• Integrates CP2102 for debugging
• LEDs and user keys

What's on the ZB502

1. ZigBee module connector: for easily connecting ZigBee modules
2. I/Os interface
3. USB interface
4. UART/SPI interface
5. ONE-WIRE interface
6. Debugging interface
7. 5V/3.3V power input/output: usually used as power output, also common-grounding with other user board
8. CP2102
9. AMS1117-3.3
10. Power switch
11. Serial port RX/TX indicator
12. Power indicator
13. User LEDs
14. User keys
15. Reset button
16. UART0 jumper
17. LED jumper
18. KEY jumper

Core2530 Features

• As easy to use as any UART modules
• Provided firmware : Coordinator, Router, End Device
  • Router firmware is preloaded by default
• Supports sending large data packet & fast broadcasting via UART
• Supports programming via UART (thanks to the Bootloader, and an serial module is required)
• Supports configuring via upper computer software : working mode, UART port, baudrate, signal channel, etc.
• MISC
  • Auto networking (at least 1 Coordinator and 1 Router are required)
  • Real-time monitoring the signal intensity between Coordinator, Router, and End Device
