MiWi Sensor Network with BLE Commissioning

A solution providing a BLE interface to a user for scanning for and connecting to MiWi networks.

One of the challenges of 802.15.4 networks can be commissioning devices on the network and providing feedback to an end user on what is happening in the process. We have provided an example implementation that uses the BLE radio on the WBZ451 to interface to a phone to initiate the search for MiWi networks and to choose a MiWi network to connect to. The application also provides control of the LEDs from the BLE and MiWi interface as well as reporting sensor data (temp and moisture) over the BLE and MiWi interfaces.

Installing / Getting started

Hardware Requirements:

WBZ451 Curiosity Board - https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/EV96B94A

Hydro Probe Click Board - https://www.mikroe.com/hydro-probe-click

Mikroe Shuttle Click - https://www.mikroe.com/shuttle-click

MikroBus Shuttle - https://www.mikroe.com/mikrobus-shuttle

NOTE: The click boards are not essential to the operation of the demo. The moisture readings will obviously be erroneous in that case.

Software Requirements:

MPLAB X v6.20 (or later) https://www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/develop/mplab-x-ide

XC32 Compiler v4.40 or v4.45 - https://www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/develop/mplab-xc-compilers/xc32
