This application demonstrates the functionality of the MICRF TX CLICK module with a PIC16F1619 microcontroller and the MICRF RX CLICK module with a PIC18F47K40 microcontroller using Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) modulation.

• The MICRF TX module transmits an incrementing counter value via ASK modulation at a frequency of 315 MHz.

• This transmission is received by the MICRF RX module on the receiver side.

• The received data's Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value and the total number of packets received are displayed on an LCD screen.

• By pressing the user button S1, the LCD switches to display engineering data, which includes error counts, CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) information, protocol failures, and buffer overflow statistics.

Step 1 - Replace the default MCU of Curiosity Development Board with PIC16F1619.

Step 2 - Connect the Jumper J12 to 3.3V/5V based on the MCU(here PIC16F1619 has Operating voltage range 2.3V to 5.5V).

Step 3 - Connect the MICRF TX CLICK Board to the MIKROE BUS Connector as shown below.

Step 1 - Replace the default MCU of Explorer 8 Development Kit with PIC18F47K40.

Step 2 - Connect the MICRF RX CLICK Board directly into J35 Jumper (MIKROE BUS Connector).

Step 3 - Power Explorer 8 from J1, the 9V power adapter, not from USB.

Step 4 - Verify all the Jumper connection of the Explorer 8 Development Kit as shown below.

• Connect the IDC 3 In-Circuit Debugger to program the device..

• The Precompiled hex file is given in the hex folder. Follow the steps provided in the link to program the precompiled hex file using MPLABX IPE to program the pre-compiled hex image.

The application folder can be found by navigating to the following path:

• "Transmitter/MICRF_TX.X"

• "Receiver/MICRF_RX.X"

Follow the steps provided in the link to Build and program the application.

• After programming the board, the expected application behavior is shown in the below video.

• The MICRF TX CLICK is a transmitter which sends the incremented counter value and whenever the data is transmitted the D7 led glows.

• The MICRF RX CLICK is a receiver which receives the data from the MICRF TX and displays the data received along with RSSI value.
