significantly reduce power is to negotiate sleeping
periods.
Sniff Park and Hold
Bluetooth sleep modes where devices can sleep
for short (sub-second) periods while occasionally
polling to determine if they need to exit sleep mode.
Rx-Off-When Idle
Some IEEE 802.15.4 devices, including Mailbox
and ZigBee end devices, can sleep indefinitely.
The parent stores messages for them.
If such a device doesn’t need to receive messages,
it can sleep until it has a reason to transmit. This
is why, for example, a ZigBee light switch can last
practically indefinitely on a tiny battery.
Devices which might need to receive a message
must poll their parent frequently enough to
respond in a timely manner. The more responsive
the device, the greater the power consumption.
For example an LCD readout might need to update
once per second in a status indicator application,
or once per day in a supermarket shelf pricing
application.
Network Sleep
The MailBox communication standard allows the
entire network to negotiate synchronous sleep
periods. This is useful where routers and/or the
coordinator need to be battery powered.
Application Interface
The application interface is how the transceiver
communicates with your application.
API Interface
The lowest cost approach is to integrate the
application firmware on the transceiver module’s
microcontroller in tandem with the communications
stack. This requires an Applications Programming
Interface (‘API’). This highly integrated approach
requires some firmware development tools and
skills. Our APIs are C-language based.
Command Interface
In a command interface, instructions are sent,
usually via a serial port, to the transceiver. This

way
so
offers full flexibility to integrate with any application
environment, but it is not as low cost as an API.
Transparent Interface
A transparent interface is possible for some
devices that do not need to specify destination
addresses or custom settings. In a transparent
interface, there are no commands; only data
passes
transceiver. This is useful for cable replacement in
legacy systems. The costs are no greater than a
command interface, but it comes at the price of
less flexibility.
Off-The-Shelf Applications
An off-the-shelf application is one which uses the
API interface to develop a complete modular
solution where there is popular demand.
Firmware Descriptions
The following firmware is available free of charge
for
downloaded from www.FlexiPanel.com. If you do
not buy firmware preloaded on a device, you must
program the firmware in. For Toothpick products,
this is possible via the Bluetooth link; for UZBee
products, via the USB link. Pixie and Pixie Lite
need to be programmed using a PIC programmer
such as the ICD2 form Microchip Technology.
