We will prepare our receiver station.

 +
The receiver stays on the ground and receives the message sent by the Emitter and forward them to a computer.

 +
This will involve:
 +
* The second RFM69HCW 433 Mhz module
 +
* A Pico microcontroler
 +
* A computer to read the messages (forwared by the microcontroler)

* An wire antenna

The emitter wiring (visible here before) is identical to the receiver wiring.

Now we will load and executes the {{fname|test_receiver.py}} receiver script. The script must be downloaded from the repository.

Only the content of the script will change between the emitter and the receiver.

The frequency and encryption key must be updated from team to team to avoids messages collisions and cross-over transmission between the teams.

 +
* The '''Encryption key''' used by the receiver RFM69HCW must be exactly the same as the emitter!
 +
* The '''Node ID''' is the unique node id (0..255) where the emitters will sent the messages.
 +
 
 +
Locate the following lines:
 +
 
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">FREQ          = 433.1
 +
ENCRYPTION_KEY = b"\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08"
 +
NODE_ID        = 100 # ID of this node
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
And update the value for '''FREQ''' and '''ENCRYPTION_KEY'''.
 +
 
 +
The NODE_ID doesn't have to be updated, its is used as node identifier allowing message & ACK exchange between one receiver and several emitter (each having an unique NODE_ID (for the same ENCRYPTION_KEY and FREQ).
 +
 
 +
=== Receiver test ===
 +
'''Openning the Serial Line''' and run the {{fname|receiver_test.py}} script.
 +
 
 +
As we want to see the received message, we will open a terminal to receives the messages over the USB-Serial line.
 +
 
 +
This can be done with the help of:
 +
* Thonny IDE (that will automatically open the USB-Serial port)
 +
* Putty (just open the USB-Serial port)
 +
* mpremote
 +
 
 +
Just starts the script and wait for the messages to come:
 +
 
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST-20.png|640px]]
 +
 
 +
Voilà, we are ready to test the emitter (cansat).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In this second screen capture (here below), we do used the "mpremote" (command line tools) to access the REPL/Shell session on the Pico board.
 +
 
 +
{{ambox|text=WHEN the file {{fname|test_receiver.py}} is copied to the micropython board THEN it can be started from REPL<br />with {{fname|import test_receiver}} }}
 +
 
 +
As we can see on the screen capture, the script is receiving messages from emitter and sending ACK back to the sender.
 +
 
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST-21.png]]
 +
 
 +
As the first message received is numbered 136, we do know for sure that the emitter script was started a while before.
 +
 
 +
== The Emitter (CanSat) ==
 +
The emitter can be made 2 different ways (shown below).
 +
 
 +
The wiring is, in facts, identical in the two options (and identical to receiver).
 +
 
 +
Only the script content will changes between the emitter and the receiver.
 +
 
 +
=== Emitter Wiring 1 : as the receiver ===
 +
wiring (visible here before) is identical to the receiver wiring.
 +
 
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-to-Pico.jpg|640px]]
 +
 
 +
(see the [[ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST#Wiring|Receiver]] section for more details about the connections).
 +
 
 +
=== Emitter Wiring 2: with the Kit Cansat for Pico ===
 +
{{pl|2271|Kit Cansat avec Raspberry-Pi Pico}} have a Raspberry-Pi Pico soldered onboard. The RFM69 module can be soldered on the UEXT connection points available between the Pico and the Ribbon connector.
 +
 
 +
{{ambox|text=The RFM69HCW radio module can be soldered above or below the base board (depending on your needs).}}
 +
 
 +
UEXT can manage almost all the signals, only RST and SS must be soldered directly on the Pico GPIOs pins. For sure, if you want to solder all the connection directly to the Pico GPIO, you can also do the connection that way.
 +
 
 +
Here how to wire the RFM69 module to the {{pl|2271|base board of Cansat Kit with Pico}} as recommended.
 +

{{ambox|text=The "''Slave Select''" line on the UEXT connector is not used in this setup because it is wired to PICO GP10. As we want the RFM69 setup code to be the same between the emitter and the receiver... we do need to wire the RFM69's CS line to GP5.}}
 +
 +
=== Emitter code ===
 +
Now we will load and executes the {{fname|test_emitter.py}} emitter script for the CanSat.
 +
 +
The script must be downloaded from the repository.
 +
 +
{{download-box|'''test_emitter''' Python script|https://github.com/mchobby/cansat-belgium-micropython/blob/main/test-rfm69/test_emitter.py}}
 +
 +
The script can be either executed from Thonny -OR- transfered to the Pico and executed directly on the microcontroler.
 +
 +
It will output the messages on the REPL/Shell over the serial line.
 +
 +
{{ambox-stop|text=We will have to modify the script before executing it!}}
 +
 +
The frequency and encryption key must be updated from team to team to avoids messages collisions and cross-over transmission between the teams.
 +
 +
Ask the organizer for your team frequency according to the [[ENG-CANSAT-PICO-FREQUENCY-PLAN|Frequency Plan ]]
 +
 +
 +
{{underline|'''Update for frequency plan, encryption key:'''}}
 +
 +
* The '''frequency''' used by the receiver RFM69HCW must be exactly the same as the emitter!
 +
* The '''Encryption key''' used by the receiver RFM69HCW must be exactly the same as the emitter!
 +
 +
Locate the following lines:
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">FREQ          = 433.1
 +
ENCRYPTION_KEY = b"\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
And update the value for '''FREQ''' and '''ENCRYPTION_KEY'''.
 +
 +
{{underline|'''Update BaseStation ID:'''}}
 +
* The '''Node ID''' is unique node identifier (0..255). This also the node ID where the base station (the receiver) must send the ACK the response.
 +
* The '''BaseStation ID''' the node id (0..255) where the CanSat emitter must sent the messages (and from which the ACK response are expected).
 +
 +
The NODE_ID and BASESTATION_ID are preconfigured and doesn't need to be updated.
 +
 +
{{underline|Remark:}} the frequency & encryption key are enough to "isolate a group". Nodes ID are used to create mesh network within a group. A simple mesh with 2 nodes (the Receiver base station and the Emitter CanSat) is enough to exchange messages with Acknowledgement.
 +
 +
Anyway Node ID can be updated for test purpose. To do so, locate the following lines:
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">NODE_ID        = 120 # ID of this node
 +
BASESTATION_ID = 100 # ID of the node (base station) to be contacted
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
=== Emitter test ===
 +
'''Opens the Serial Line''' and run the {{fname|emitter_test.py}} script.
 +
 +
As we want to see the sent messages and acknowledgments, we will open a terminal to receives the messages over the USB-Serial line.
 +
 +
This can be done with the help of:
 +
* Thonny IDE (that will automatically open the USB-Serial port)
 +
* Putty (just open the USB-Serial port)
 +
* mpremote
 +
 +
Just starts the script it will start to send messages (as the CanSat will do) to the base station and waits for the ACK notification from the base station:
 +
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST-30.png|640px]]
 +
 +
As the base station ({{fname|receiver_test.py}}) is not running now ACKnowledgment are sent to the emitter.
 +
 +
{{ambox|text=WHEN the file {{fname|test_emitter.py}} is copied to the micropython board THEN it can be started from REPL<br />with {{fname|import test_emitter}} }}
 +
 +
The following capture show the {{fname|emitter_test.py}} script running from the Thonny. As seen below the messages are properly received by the receiver (the base station) as it sent back the ACKnowledgment.
 +
 +
[[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PICO-RFM69HCW-TEST-31.png|640px]]
 +
 +
== Stress Test ==
 +
 +
By reducing the emission delay from 1 second between messages to 100ms (0.1sec), it is possible to evaluates the reliability and stability of the communication with ACK.
 +
 +
The following screen capture shows the receiver and emitter captured after 2200+ messages sent and ack.
