CADA bricks protocol

Open pascallanger opened this issue 8 months ago • 8 comments

Hello, besides the fact that i am a böoody beginner, i was happy to see that mouldking brick RC boxes are supported . It would be nice if this will be possible for CADA Bricks RC boxes too ;-)

@marcrupprath I've received the CADA set. Quickly before leaving home yesterday, I checked the content. The documentation stated that the receiver brick should be charged before use so I took it with me. When plugging it to a charger (tried a charger and my PC), it flashes red and green. I left it plugged ike this for almost 3 hours and the flashing pattern hasn't changed. Is it expected? The documentation talks about a blue light when charging...

I don't have the small TX with me to test if it works. It will have to wait later this week.

I am not quite shure having found this comment on facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/cadabricks/posts/4510688575696227/

It seesm that red /green is ok during charging but i did not know how long it may take, Checked my boxes : Having red/gren flashlight too.

Even if my boxes may not charged completely ist works fine together with Handsets. Note about jandset: The green LED is blinking until binding phase is complete. After that it is only tuned on as long you press a button. That is as it looks on my handsets ;-)

Good luck

I don't want to say bad news but the CADA brick is not using a XN297 RF chip like MouldKing. The RF chip has no marking and it's an all in one controller + RF so no SPI bus to spy. With my SDR env not working due to a problem with my laptop, I have no idea what they are sending over the air and if it might be emulated yet. It will have to wait a week or two before I can check...

Never mind, due it on your own pace ;-). We are not in a hurry , and we do not have a finishing date for this .

I would like to ask if there is any progress and what is your assessment? Do you think it is still worth trying to implement CADA? If so when do you expect to provide an "Alpha" Version for testing ?

And of course, have a nice Easter Holiday ;-)

I need to take the time to rebuild my laptop... It's so broken currently that half of the applications don't work anymore so I can't check anything the radio is sending.

I forgot to wish you good luck. Meanwhile i am still busy with 3 additional different Mould King based sets ;-)

Marc, Sorry about the delay. My sdr environment is reinstalled so I should be able to look at it now. But I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks. So that will need to wait that I'm back home.
