If you want to start experimenting with EmbedRF, you can order a development kit.

The development kit includes the following:

• Two EmbedRF modules
• One USB interface board used to configure your EmbedRF modules
• One USB cable
• One Battery Adapter Boards with lithium coin cell batteries (CR2032) attached
• EmbedRF Desktop Software Suite – a software application that runs on desktop PCs and can be used to control and configure the EmbedRF modules. It can also be used as a data collector, storing all data to a Microsoft Access database.

We can provide the EmbedRF technology as a stand-alone PCB

The EmbedRF Standard has all of the built-in functionality to enable short-range bi-directional wireless data transmission and a convenient 3-wire serial interface to other PCBs. The EmbedRF Standard has both analog input ports which may be used to acquire and transmit analog sensor data making the EmbedRF technology an ideal candidate for data logging and manufacturing applications. The EmbedRF Standard also has digital output ports for controlling peripherals.

Additional features of EmbedRF Standard are listed below:

• Configurable periodic transceiver (0.25 to 12.75 second intervals
• 4 Analog channels for sensor applications and 2 digital outputs
• Operated from 400 MHz - 928 MHz
• Range of 50 feet typical (longer with alternative antenna)
• Bidirectional transmit / receive
• Point-to-point and multipoint-to-point network configuration
• Intelligent search capability using nearest transmitter criteria
• Standard serial UART interface
• Notification on transmit / receive
• Receive and transmit data is buffered
• 4 analog inputs
• Small size (about the size of a postage stamp)
• Output power up to 5 dBm
• CRC RF packet error checking
• Digital RSSI signal
• Security using 2^24 bit ID and 2^24 bit network ID
• Zero data latency
• PC / USB interface available
• 2.0 to 3.6V operation
• -40 to 85 degrees C (no trimming)
• Flexible design licensing - seamlessly integrate our Gerbers into your PCB
• Design for lowest power battery operation.
• Simplest, lowest cost turnkey wireless solution

In addition to providing a stand-alone PCB version of EmbedRF, we can also provide the Gerber design files so that your engineers can easily integrate our RF design directly into your own PCB. We then provide you with Microchip microcontrollers which are pre-loaded with the EmbedRF OS firmware.

The EmbedRF OS firmware provides all of the technology for handling the RF transfer between two modules. It has an intelligent search-and-link feature which enables a given EmbedRF module to initiate contact with only the EmbedRF chip which is closest in proximity to it. The EmbedRF OS was designed with power conservation in mind so that a single module can run for years off of a single lithium coin cell.
