Sorry, a bit too late, I'd think. Probably 10 pages ago or so, the Atmel guys posted that it was over for this time. Just have to be more alert at the next opportunity Smile

Yahoo! My RZRaven kit arrived in Colorado today- speaker on left unit was popped off. I soldered wirewrap wire to the speaker wires, routed them to the appropriate pads, and hot-glued the speaker back on.

Texting to both units and measuring Temp from both units works fine, sound working on both units fine. Can't wait to get started on my project!

Oh- first bug I found in firmware- you can only read Message #0 on the Raven. Message Count is correct, but no way to get to the more recent messages.

FYI - Atmel will demo the Ravens at Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, CA April 15-17.

We'll update you on the latest firmware, and we might bring a few more kits to share as well Smile

Hope to see some of you at the show!

Ravens arrived today, everything in perfect condition. Everything also seemed to work basically plug and play, so in short: great start. Now, to free up enough time to be able to build a wireless, invisible RS-232 link.. Wink

Thanks again, Atmel.

Craw! Craw!

Raven arrived yesterday. Busy time of year at work so I haven't tested them out yet but all components seem to be intact.

Thanks Atmel!

(ps, I think I might have turned on a colleague at work to AVR. It will be nice to have someone else in town to bounce ideas off of!)

Hi all,

I got my "ravens couple" yesterday.
After reading some of your posts here i was concerned for its integrity...but everything seems just "peachy" Very Happy

I really loved the "gothic" look on the package...it gives it a nice touch Very Happy

congratiolations to ATMEL.

Bye

Question, how can I read older mesages in inbox in ravens?

At the top and bottom of every thread page there are page indicators (1, 2, ...) to bring up individual pages.

I think the original poster was wanting to be able to view older messages on the Raven modules rather than on the forums.

As far as I can tell it doesn't appear possible to read any message other than the first one currently--judging by both the menu diagram and repeated joystick pad mashing. Smile

So, yeah,

it turned out despite my late request someone at Atmel smiled on me and this morning a courier unexpectedly turned up at the door with a RZ RAVEN kit--intact speakers and all!

I've been making some notes as I go, here:

http://code.rancidbacon.com/LearningAboutAtmelRZRAVEN

I was interested in seeing what was happening "under the covers" to see how likely Linux functionality might be--it seems at least some of the underlying driver code has a Linux-equivalent. I'm not sure if it would require a source re-compile or whether Wine might handle it--haven't followed that one up yet. Various notes on this topic on the page linked above.

--Phil.

I think the original poster had a pair of Ravens, even before the rest of us knew they existed...

follower must be thinking of some other thread...

@follower:

Took a look at your web page regarding the RZRAVEN kit. Excellent initiative.

The debug interface will be default off in the next code release.

You can only run the RZUSBSTICK in either Sniffer or ZigBee cooridnator mode. Two RZUSBSTICKs are required to do both modes at the same time. However, the PC GUI will cope with n instances of the Sniffer. Doing both sniffing/capture and ZigBee coordinator mode at the same time would be ideal, but impossible on the same HW. This is due to the timing in the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee standard.

The typos in the GUI will be fixed. Just added a Bugzilla entry.

When the documentation is ready, Atmel will be more than happy to shear this with you. The USB protocol is quite simple and can be implemented on top of libusb.

@fastbakken,

I'm quite curious about the hardware. Are they assembled in Norway?

The hardware contains some smd x-tals. They are quite nice. Do you know where to get the Golledge xtals for reasonable prices?

Is there any reason why, when clicking on the "wheels" to start the rf services, 2 instances of the rf services get started at the same time? It seems that 1 is for the coordinator and the other is for the sniffer (it tries to save the file).

@nick-123:
The hardware is designed in Norway, and produced by the country to the right of us on the map: Sweeden Wink

. For obtaining crystals from Golledge I only have a Norwegian reference: "http://www.heko.no/". However, they are extremly professional. English is not a problem.

@js:
Well, let's say that the two windows being opened at the moment is a feature that will be "obsoleted" in the next SW release in April. It should simply not happen, easy as that. The FW on the RZUSBSTICK will not handle both sniffing and ZigBee mode at the same time.
