Details

The ConnectZED ZigBee modules supplied with the kits are pre-loaded with the Renesas ZigBee PRO stack & Smart Energy (SE) ZigBee Application profile (Home Automation (HA) & dual profile SE+HA variants are also available on request).

Once connected to the baseboards the ConnectZED modules can be simply controlled via commands entered through a Terminal Emulator program, such as HyperTerminal.

In the Advanced kit, the specialist TestZED module is designed to interoperate with the bundled PC TestZED software & can function as either a ZigBee Coordinator or Router depending on how it is initialised via the TestZED application & of course down to specific development needs.

However, the real hidden 'gem' in this kit is the TestZED PC software itself, which not only gives you greater visibility of network communications, but enables direct testing of the ZigBee Profile & your developed application, through the reading/writing to the individual attributes of the profile's clusters - allowing scenarios to be quickly setup & tested.

Where lengthy commands would normally need to be manually entered, or test scripts prepared to read/write to attributes in the ZigBee profile or user application, TestZED does away with this, by offering the same fine level of control, but through a comprehensive, easy to use, Windows interface. Control from as small as entering a price value in the Price Cluster, right through to performing a firmware update using the OTA Cluster can all be achieved with only a few mouse clicks.

Rest assured...

As is standard with all AND products, the ConnectZED Evaluation Kits come fully backed up with direct technical email & telephone support, so when you really start to develop your ZigBee based design you can rest assured that there is not just technical support at a simple call/email away, but complete embedded expertise & design services available too.
