esphome-cc2500

Texas Instrumants CC2500 Low-Power 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver component for ESPHome.

This CC2500 component for ESPHome controls the CC200 transeiver for sending data to devices using a compatible receiver. Other components that depend on the CC2500 component can reference it. Receiving data is not yet implemented, but is flanned for a future update.

To set up this CC2500 component you first need to place a top-level SPI component which defines the pins to use.

Hardware required:

• ESP8266, ESP32 or other ESPHome supported microcontroller
• CC2500 transceiver

Wiring:

CC2500	ESP8266
GND	G
VDD	3V
SI	D7/GPIO13
SCLK	D5/GPIO14
SO	D6/GPIO12
GD02
GDO0
CSn	D8/GPIO15

Configuration variables:

• cs_pin (Required): The pin to use for the chip select of the SPI bus.
• output_power (Optional): The output power signals should be transmitted with.
