TI.EasyLink

🌶️ - Texas Instruments EasyLink sample pack

Shows how to use TI EasyLink API to send/receive packets over a radio link.

• 🌶️ - Simple Node
• 🌶️ - Concentrator

It will be hard to debug both Solutions simultaneously in the same machine because that requires two instances of Visual Studio open simultaneously. You can try that, but that's not recommended. The suggestion goes toward loading the Node solution first, build and deploy. Because the application runs without a debugger attached you'll have a standalone board transmitting whatever you've programmed it to. Next load the Concentrator Solutions, build and start a debug session to receive radio packets from the other board. In case you change the addresses of the node and/or concentrator make sure to use the same on both projects.

Hardware requirements

A TI CC13xx or CC26xx hardware device running a nanoFramework image.
