Introduction
Linx LR Series RF modules offer a simple, efficient, and cost-effective
method of adding wireless communication capabilities to any product. The
Basic Evaluation Kit gives a designer all the tools necessary to correctly
and legally incorporate the LR Series modules into an end product. The
development boards themselves serve several important functions:
• Rapid Module Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the LR
Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.
• Range Testing: Using the on-board encoders and decoders to generate
a simplex transmission, a pair of evaluation boards can be used to
evaluate the range performance of the modules.
• Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against
which the performance of a custom design may be judged.
• Application Development: An onboard prototyping area allows for the
development of custon circuits directly on the evaluation board. All
signal lines are available on a header for easy access.
The kit includes 2 LR Series transmitters*, 2 LR Series receivers*, 2 extra
PCB-mount RP-SMA connectors, 2 evaluation boards, 2 CW Series
antennas, 1 CR2032 battery, 2 AAA batteries and full documentation.
* One part is soldered to each board. One extra is for use on your first prototype boards.
