The AVRRAVEN complete schematics may be found in Appendix A and Appendix D.
Two AVR microcontrollers are found on the AVRRAVEN module. An ATmega1284P
is connected to the AT86RF230 radio transceiver, and an ATmega3290P is driving
the LCD. Both these devices are selected from the AVR picoPower family, something
that ensures minimal power consumption and operation down to 1.8 Volts. Universal
Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is used as
an inter processor communication bus.
The AT86RF230 is a 2.4GHz radio transceiver that is tailored for a wide range of
wireless applications. Low power consumption and market leading RF performance
makes it an excellent choice for virtually any type of networking device. Support for
IEEE 802.15.4
channel access) type of applications is available through an enhanced layer of
functionality on top of the basic radio transceiver.
