From the project

Interface for RF phase shifter as part of phased antenna array

STM32G0B01 based board for controlling daisy-chained digital phase shifter via SPI-like serial interface. User can interface with the board either by buttons and LEDs on the board or via virtual serial port over USB, communication over serial port is realized using simple TLV protocol. The board is providing bipolar supply for the phase shifters.

Available commands: | Type | Length [bytes] | Value | Description | |----------|--------------------|-----------------------|-------------| | 0x02 | 1 | command id | Ack | | 0x10 | 4 | phase shifts (0 - 15) | Set phase | | 0x11 | 0 | - | Transmit |…
