Si4463 20 modules for testing were distributed to elektroda.pl members

In order to thank for the support of [https://www.elektroda.pl/], we would like to offer 20pcs of RF front-end module DRF4463F based on si4463 from Silicon labs for testing purpose. The top ten users who have interest and want to test please reply under this topic. We will send each 2pcs of DRF4463F by post office without any charge. Basic features are showed as below:

433MHz transceiver
20dBm output power
-126dBm sensitivity
Standard SPI interface
Digital RSSI output
Programmable carrier sense indicator
Data Rate: 0.123~1000 kbps
Standby current: <1uA
Supply voltage: 1.8~3.6V



Till now the 20pcs of samples have been booked. Andrew, thank you for your support for this activity. I also would like to thank for the friends of [elektroda.pl] who applied the samples and like to spend time in testing our products. For those friends who will have missed this chance to get samples, please pay attention to the twitter of DORJI (twitter.com/dorji_com). We will held similar activities on [elektroda.pl] in the near future and announce them on our twitter page.

Interesting modules, I think that people who receive modules should present the results of their tests on elektroda.pl, share their comments and experiences.

To maintain the consistency of the results, You should ship the appropriate antenna with modules.

I looked at your website and there is a very basic datasheet:
http://www.dorji.com/docs/data/DRF4463F.pdf

When I clicked on the link "si4463 Sample Codes" there was nothing there.

Where can I find a description of the control registers, the communication protocol, etc. ?

I think you should send to chosen users (via personal message),
unique one time code/coupon that could be used in your shop / sales contact.

Why ? because the chosen users can make tests in person or give a voucher to the right person maybe outside elektroda.pl
(so they can join to elektroda.pl after tests and information about the modules can spread beyond the forum )

And!, Thank you for your kind attention to my post. The sample codes are based on our kit, which can demonstrate the basic communication between modules. The file will be uploaded to our website next week in zip file encrypted with password. We can send one copy to our customers or the first ten user of [elektroda.pl] through personal message or email. The reason for password is that we hope our competitors will not copy our codes so fast:-).

Encrypted zip file on website, sending password via email/PM it's security by obscurity in my opinion.

If releasing sample code may impact on your business, simply don't publish it.

Many users are using different microcontrollers so they will write code by self.

In my opinion specification of configuration registers and way to sending data should be published.
You selling the product and customer should able to know how to use it.

If there are still free samples of that modules i would like to test it.
