 A year ago, I proposed the wireless communication synchronization system described below. This time, I built a prototype using the nRF52840.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;span class="ryNqvb"&gt;Thank you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;span class="ryNqvb"&gt;It&amp;#39;s true that it becomes more difficult to synchronize the more devices you have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;span class="ryNqvb"&gt;However, if you allow for a small amount of synchronization error when using a large number of devices, synchronization can be achieved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;span class="ryNqvb"&gt;There is a trade-off between the degree of synchronization error and the number of devices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"&gt;&lt;span class="ryNqvb"&gt;With four or five devices, as in the video, synchronization without error can be achieved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am not sure I fully understand the principle, but it make sense to have one radio that act as a synchronization for the system for low power operation. If the distant is too large for one device you must have some relays in place, not sure how you want to solve that. If you have very many devices and need some bi-directional data, then I think it will be difficult to synchronize that it any good way, maybe you can allow a timing window after the synchronization packet for devices to transmit at a random delay within that window. Also, in any such system I would recommend to have some frequency hopping, e.g. that the radio that synchronize hop in a given pattern also.&lt;/p&gt;
