Pliant RF transceiver CC2420 developed by Chipcon AS to design the RF modem in each Zigbee device. It operates in the frequency spectrum 2.4 - 2.4835 GHz with a 250 kbps data rate. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) is used as the modulation technique. Antenna design: An inverted F-type PCB antenna was used with the transceiver. # A kernel driver must be loaded (unless option -x is used). Up to DDR3, # you need either the at24 driver (in the kernel tree since v2.6.27) or # the legacy eeprom driver (in the kernel tree since v2.6.0). For kernels # older than 2.6.0, the eeprom driver can be found in the lm-sensors 2 # package. This is a driver for the MAX342x USB chips from Maxim. The pinout is SPI except that pin 8 becomes INT and pin 11 becomes!RST. You can use the Facedancer11 device, or you could purchase the Maxim MAX3421 EVK, then wiring it up with the following configuration: Clients. A Python client, goodfet.maxusb, is a doodle for simple experimentation.

Intro to the BACnet Stack
BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation and Control (BAC) networks that leverage the ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO 16484-5standard protocol. It is currentlythe most popular protocol use in Building Automation systems (BAS).
Chipkin’s BACnet Stack (CAS BACnet Stack) is a software library that allows you to add a native BACnet interface to yourembedded devices or applications. The BACnetstack supports both BACnet server (Field device, power meter, gas detector, etc.) and BACnet client (HMI,Utilities, data loggers, etc.) services giving you the flexibility you need to succeed. The Chipkin BACnetStack supports the protocol revision 19,making it a global market leader and one of a few stacks that support's revision 19. Chipkin attendsplugfest annually and as of 2018 plugfest, our stack is one of the most up to date stacks in the market.
The BACnet Stack is a transport layer independent library, making it easy to use with any transport layersuch as MSTP, IP, Ethernet and even PTP and ARCnet. By giving you control of the transport layer you canoptimize bandwidth and performanceby exploiting the resources at your disposal such as multi-threading and multiple simultaneous connections.See the diagram below of the BACnet Stack Layers which shows what portions are provided bythe stack and what by theclient:
*Area in theborder is provided by the BACnet Stack. The area outside is provided by the client.Benefit from our 20+ years of BACnet experience!!!
Take it from us, we have been working with BACnet for 20+ years. Our BACnet Stack Resume includes 10+ yearsof development, 25,000+ commits, 50,000+ lines of code, 2,500 unit tests, 50+ devices using the stack andamong other capabilities, 1,000,000+device installations. We know what we are are doing. On top of that, we are also part of the BACnet TestingLaboratory Working Group. Purchasing the BACnet Stack from us will save you man-years ofdevelopment when your company needs it the most. Let us handle the grunt work, BACnet Spec iscomplex and it takes months of work just to learn the details.
Chipkin’s BACnet Stack (CAS BACnet Stack) is an application layer BACnet library for embedded systems andapplication development. The stack allows applicable devices to communicate using several of the BACnetflavors and can function both asa server (Field Device, etc…) or as a client (HMI, etc…).
Because we have also built the stack to be BACnet spec compliant (we do things according to the BACnetspec.), No device that used our BACnet stack has ever failed to receive the BTL Certification (BACnet International BLT) by the BACnet Testinglaboratories. We do things the right way from the start!
To ensure our BACnet stack is well tested and compatible with industrial leaders, Chipkin attends the yearlyBACnet Plugfest to test new features and services from allof the leading manufacturers.
Furthermore, the CAS BACnet Stack is particularly well-suited to most contemporary programmingstyles as the API uses XML to transfer requests for packet building as well as for handlingback-parsed packets.
