Hi esdad697,
yes, I used SmartRF Studio to get the basic settings up and running. If you want to use special RF features, I recommend that you use SmartRF Studio to change the parameters. There are not so many parameters that need to be changed, so it is also possible to calculate the values manually. Based on the data sheet of course.
In SmartRF Studio, I take the GFSK default and change the frequency to 345. I can send and receive. Back in SmartRF, the modulation is changed to ASK. Nothing is received. I copied the patable too. Should i copy the patable?
TI said studio is not optimized for ASK, and suggested: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra215e/swra215e.pdf I can follow most of it, so will give it a try.
well, what do you would like to do? I guess in your case I would like to go step by step. If you want to use ASK/OOK with a different Frequency, set the frequency to 345MHz on both sides and test. If it is successful, modify the second parameter and try again. Means, take your working parameter set and change as less a possible and go on step by step.
I can't get ASK to work. I tried following TI's design note. It was not too complicated, but did not help. I'll take it to TI: https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/sub-1-ghz/f/156/p/777909/2878685#2878685
Maybe CC1101 is not a good choice for ASK. I was also planning on trying async mode to read older signal.
You can try my demo with ASK / OOK. In Mode 0x06 you have 4.8kbit ASK. If this works with your setup, you can try to modify some parameters
Hey SpaceTeddy, I am hardly trying for hours to make myself familiar with SmartRF, but I miserably fail. Can you please help me with setting the CC1101 in async mode, using GDO2 as the serial data output at 433MHz and 868MHz or at least tell me how to get there? I should just be able to receive and send the data I got from GDO2 to GDO0 over UART, right? Thanks in advance :)
These are my register settings for 433 Mhz ASK/OOK using a 26 Mhz quartz in async mode for keeloq receiving. Received signal will be on GD02. Settings are optimized for high sensitivity.

Oh @DerrowBond thank you so much! Even though this is from long ago, it is as much of use to me right now!!!
How did you learn to get familiar with SmarRF and tune the settings for your need?
I am glad you can use it :) Well I started with CC1101 about a week ago, and studied many papers to finally get it working to my needs. A big help has been two posts on the Ti Forum: https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/sub-1-ghz/f/156/t/629112?CC1101-async-vs-sync-mode-how-decode-data-from-raw https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/sub-1-ghz/f/156/t/148027
I am using the CC1101 as receiver for Keeloq signals sent in AM and FM, and use a Raspberry Pi to decode the Keeloq Signal.
Yeah cool, thanks for the link! I also made my stuff work back then, but only on that frequency with these settings xD
I wish you the best on your projects!
Did you use SmartRF Studio or some other reference?
