MSP430 RF Applications with the MRF1611CC1100: and API Reference

This book introduces 900 MHz RF applications using the Texas Instruments MSP430F1611 mixed signal processor and CC1100 single chip low cost low power RF transciever. Hosted on SoftBaugh MRF1611CC1100 modules, the accompanying source code and detailed, step-by-step tutorials found in this book enable the reader to experiment with a variety of point-to-point and star network examples. For many low power sensor applications, the star topology leads to system designs capable of extended battery life, simpler application architecture, and reduced debugging effort. This book also introduces state design techniques developed by SoftBaugh specifically for MSP430 firmware. Having a small footprint and taking advantage of the many programmer-friendly features of the MSP430, these design techniques have been used by SoftBaugh for nearly a decade for the benefit of many consulting clients.
