3.4.16. xbee — XBee

An XBee is a module for wireless communication.

This driver implements reception and transmission of frames over a channel (normally a UART driver).

Known limitations:

  • Only AP=2 is supported. That is, API operation with escaped charaters. AP=1 could easily be implemented.

Functions

int xbee_module_init(void)

Initialize the xbee module. This function must be called before calling any other function in this module.

The module will only be initialized once even if this function is called multiple times.

Return
zero(0) or negative error code.

int xbee_init(struct xbee_driver_t *self_p, void *chin_p, void *chout_p)

Initialize given driver object from given configuration.

Return
zero(0) or negative error code.
Parameters
  • self_p: Driver object to initialize.
  • chin_p: Input channel from the XBee module, often a UART driver.
  • chout_p: Output channel to the XBee module, often a UART driver output channel.

int xbee_read(struct xbee_driver_t *self_p, struct xbee_frame_t *frame_p)

Read a frame from the XBee module. Blocks until a frame is received or an error occurs.

Return
zero(0) or negative error code.
Parameters
  • self_p: Initialized driver object.
  • frame_p: Frame to read into.

int xbee_write(struct xbee_driver_t *self_p, const struct xbee_frame_t *frame_p)

Write given frame to the XBee module. Blocks until the frame have been transmitted or an error occurs.

Return
zero(0) or negative error code.
Parameters
  • self_p: Initialized driver object.
  • frame_p: Frame to write.

int xbee_print_frame(void *chan_p, struct xbee_frame_t *frame_p)

Decode given frame and write it as a human readable string to given channel.

Return
zero(0) or negative error code.
Parameters
  • chan_p: Channel to write the human readable string to.
  • frame_p: Frame to decode.

const char *xbee_frame_type_as_string(uint8_t frame_type)

Map given frame type to a human readable string.

Return
Human readable frame type string or NULL if given frame type is unknown.
Parameters
  • frame_type: Frame type.

const char *xbee_tx_status_as_string(uint8_t tx_status)

Map given TX status to a human readable string.

Return
Human readable TX status string or NULL if given TX status is unknown.
Parameters
  • tx_status: TX status.

const char *xbee_modem_status_as_string(uint8_t modem_status)

Map given modem status to a human readable string.

Return
Human readable modem status string or NULL if given modem status is unknown.
Parameters
  • modem_status: Modem status.

const char *xbee_at_command_response_status_as_string(uint8_t response_status)

Map given AT command response status to a human readable string.

Return
Human readable AT command response status string or NULL if given response status is unknown.
Parameters
  • response_status: AT command response status.
