ECEN 4610 Spring 2006Hands-Free Low-Profile Wireless Radio
• Two-way wireless communication between two separate motorcyclists.
• Low-power, low-profile design for easy installation/integration inside helmet.
• Adjustable volume, microphone gain, and channel selection.
• Restricted access to broadcasted audio.

Initial Set-backs – Wireless Transceiver
• nRF24Z1 – Only a point to point streaming device. • Not capable of handling TDD (time division
duplexing) or FDD (frequency division duplexing).
• nRF24L01 – Great device, but not yet in full production• Possible future use if breakout boards available
• nRF2401a – Current selection• Fastest data-rate for a “true” transceiver• Requires additional packet handling

Initial Set-backs - Codec
• TI TLV320AIC28 • I2C control format• QFN package
• TI TLV320AIC33• Not available (just released)• QFN package
• Xemics XE3006• Audio format is standard serial (not I2S)• Not available in quantities under 62
• TI TLV320AIC23B• Available with all needed features• SOP package

Current Project Plan – Divide and Conquer
• Printed circuit board tasks• Assemble• Test and debug• Begin second PCB revision
• Dev. board tasks• Establish communication between transceivers
• Experiment with data rate limitations using• Test maximum range and acceptable error rates.

Risks
• Difficulty making SPI communicate with I2S• High speed data rate and clock rate
• Unknown transmitter packet error rate at 1Mbps
• Difficulty with QFN package type (reflow)
• Wireless protocol complexity may be underestimated

Backup Plan
Use MSP430F1611 internal ADC/DAC SPI communication with I2S is removed
Use lower data rate for transceiver Voice still possible and known implementation at
this data rate exist Out-source transceiver assembly or use breakout
boards from SparkFun
