CC2500 - or equivalent for Ansluta?

#1 Post by mkotek » 01 Nov 2016, 22:04

I have seen, there is now a requirement for CC2500 to be used for connectivity to Ansluta devices.
Does it mean, I can use Ansluta and Milight connection at the same time (pins seem to be overlaping - any way to move them?)?

Also, I can see, on Aliexpress, they offer MD7105-SY (or A7105) claiming to be better than CC2500. Can I use this one instead of CC2500 or this one (or one of the 2 other menitoned on wiring page) is required? MD7105-SY seems to be more easily available and cheaper.

Yes, you can use Ansluta and Milight at the same time.
The pin overlap is not a mistake but a feature.

As for the module, you need a real CC2500. Not one of the many fakes or mostly incompatibles.
A search for the real CC2500 on aliexpress shows one for 2.37 and one for 1.93 euros. Hardly expensive...

I have just asked for the benefit of us all, as the blog shows 2 other components I presume compatible with CC2500.
And on the price - of course they ar enot expensive, but as with a lot of Aliexpress listings, if something is cheaper, does not mean it is worse than more expensive items. Hence my observationabout other modules being cheaper.

Again, nothing against utilizing CC2500 itself. And thank you for the response.

But is not working with rf link....

When I try to activate Ansluta Rflink not work anymore until the eeprom is erased.

This means one of the following things:
- CC2500 module is not wired correctly (check pinout, make sure level shifters are used correctly)
- CC2500 module does not receive enough power (make sure the level shifters are working correctly and are shifting fast enough)
- CC2500 module is dead (did you connect it to 5 volt, it does not like that)
