Linker Zigbee Gateway Module
Introduction
Linker ZigBee gateway module is one kind of Linker modules which can communicate with up to 32 ZigBee node devices. It is powered by Marvell 88MZ100 ZigBee microcontroller SoC chip. This ZigBee offers advantages for many application scenarios, including lighting control, smart metering, home/building automation, remote controls and health care applications.
Features
- Marvell MZ100 ZigBee SoC chip
- A ZigBee compliant platform and IEEE802.15.4-2003/2006 transceiver
- 32 bit ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller running at 32 or 64 MHz with Marvell’s proven peripheral IPs
- On-chip DC-DC converter that can directly take input range from 2 volt to 3.6 volt
- UART serial communication protocol
- Linker port with 4 pins
- 3.3V
Tutorial
we will show how to interface Deepcam ZigBee sensors to LinkSpriteIO using the Linker ZigBee gateway, and serves as a basic framework for home automation sensors application.
Prerequisites
pcDuino3B or pcDuino8 Uno X1
ZigBee water leaking detector X1
For simplicity, this tutorial uses only one ZigBee sensor: ZigBee water leak detector.
