ANT Burst Mode and Custom Byte Size Transmission

[Jay]

Hi everyone,

I was not able to find a full example in the SDK or online on initializing ANT to work with burst mode. Also, I was wondering if it's possible to setup ANT with custom data byte size.

I am currently using the background scanning example in the ANT folder to send and receive data.

Thank you.

The changes to for example the ant_broadcast are minimal. Just use sd_ant_burst_handler_request() instead of sd_ant_broadcast_message_tx(). The channel must also be birectional to use anything other than broadcast.

Yes, you are right about me getting the examples mixed up. My apologies. What I am trying to accomplish is set up a mesh type network where each node will 'shout' a message and only nearby neighbours will be able to listen to that message and it does not have to be acknowledged. I was able to achieve this using the background scanning example but found that 8 bytes of message was too small. Is there any other way to achieve the same set up as background scanning example with larger message bytes than 8? Thank you.
