Set up the Sensortag
Hardware
You will need the following,
- at least one TI CC2650 Sensortag (Available from RS Electronics here)
- one TI SmartRF06EBK programming board
- a computer running Windows
Software
You will need the following,
- firmware binaries for the Sensortag
- TI Flash programmer 2
Preparations
Download the software and install Flash programmer 2
on the computer. This will also install drivers for the SmartRF06EBK board.
Flashing the devices
This procedure goes for all the Sensortags you may have, one at a time.
Unbox the Sensortag. Remove the red rubber sleeve and the black+transparent plastic enclosure. Remove the battery and the plastic battery protector from the battery if present.
Locate the ten-pin programming header. Connect it to the SmartRF06EBK. In the image below it's marked in red.
Connect the Sensortag like in the image below.
In Flash programmer 2
, follow the same procedure. Click Refresh, click the CC2650, press Browse and find sensortag-24ghz.bin
you downloaded before. Then flash in the same way.
Done!
Congratulations! Great work, now you've set up your Sensortags!
