Need Help with Bim2 Transceiver - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

I am using a Radiometrix Transceiver to control an Alarm System. Can any1 help me with the use of the Bim2.

I know that I have to send a preamble, followed by a start bit, then the data (Manchester Encoded), then a stop bit and CRC checksum.

I am not sure how the start and stop bits work (i.e. does the transceiver use them or does the Microcontroller that I am using have to understand them?).

Does all the data packet have to be Manchester Encoded or just the valid data?

If any1 has any info or advice they could off I would be greatful.
