Comunicación Inalambrica Launchpad CC110L AIR Booster Pack

Hola amigos en está ocasión quiero dar una introducción a estos magnificos modulos inalambricos desarrollados por la empresa AIR, que vienen en un booster pack para nuestra Launchpad.
El modulo viene acompañado de dos modulos inalambricos con un microcontrolador MSP430G2553 incluido.

Estos modulos trabajan a dos frecuencias, dependiedo del pais en el cual se desee utilizar, a 433MHz y 900MHz, los cuales están debidamente certificados, listos para utilizar en un proyecto comercial, lo cual es muy bueno y no cualquier modulo de radiofrecuencia tiene.

¿Como programarlo?
Gracias a Energia y la comunidad open source, encontramos que ya existe la libreria y ejemplos para utilizarlo en esta plataforma tipo Arduino. Lo cual nos lleva menos de 5 minutos ponerlos a trabajar sin necesidad de escribir algún código.

Existen diferentes ejemplos, entre los que destaca un ejemplo donde veremos como realizar una red tipo estrella.

Para este ejemplo necesitaremos un kit CC110L AIR Booster pack y dos Launchpad MSP430G2553
Un modulo trabajara como emisor, es importante recalcar que estos modulos son Transceiver, esto quiere decir que pueden funcionar como transmisores y receptores.

	* Description
	* ===========
	*
	* Acts as a simple receiver for a star network. The hub node can receive both
	* broadcast messages and messages directed to its assigned address. The hub
	* node should not be assigned to address 0 (broadcast address). To create an
	* additional network, simply change the hub address.
	*
	* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	*
	* This example assumes that two BoosterPacks will be used to showcase the
	* wireless radio communication functionality. This same code should be
	* programmed to both LaunchPad development kits.
	*
	* This BoosterPack relies on the SPI hardware peripheral and two additional
	* GPIO lines for SPI chip-select and GDO0 for packet handling. They use pins 18
	* and 19 respectively.
	*
	* In the default configuration, this BoosterPack is not compatible with an
	* external crystal oscillator. This can be changed, if necessary, and would
	* require reconfiguration of the BoosterPack hardware and changes to the
	* AIR430BoostFCC library. Refer to the BoosterPack User's Manual if necessary.

¿Que realizará el ejemplo?
El Hub lo conectaremos al puerto USB de nuestra computadora y abriremos el puerto COM de la tarjeta Launchpad en una hyperterminal, puede ser la misma que trae el Energia, el nodo lo conectaremos tambien a la alimentación, puede ser a la misma computadora para que empiece a transmitir los datos, y el Hub reciba toda la información, con esto podremos verificar el funcionamiento de nuestro kit. He realizado algunas pruebas, con distancias de transmision de hasta 30 metros aproximadamente, supuestamente debe de llegar a los 100 metros, pero al menos a mi, no llego a esa distancia.
