ANT Broadcast Message through previously set up channel

Hi Nordic,

I have a star network with 3 nodes and 2 channels. I go through the whole pairing process and start sending data without problem. Now I want to, from the master, use one of these two channels to broadcast data to all nearby ANT devices, irrespective of their channel ID. I try to do this but when I try to use sd_ant_broadcast_message_tx in one of the channels, I get this error code: 401F. What does it mean? Do I have to use a new channel just to broadcast this information? It is important to say that this broadcasting will be done very very unlikely, the normal operation of the channels is to send and receive ack messages.

Thanks Nordic!

  • The problem is the next: you have a slave that looks for a channel ID that you don't know. Is it possible to, somehow, stablish a channel with it without wildcarding the channel ID in the slave?

    Thinking about it, I think that the solution in my case is to interchange the roles of master-slave in the star network. If I set the slave in the center and two masters, as I can wildcard the one in the center whenever I want, I would be able to reset its pairing status and look for ANY two masters.

    With my current configuration this is a bit harder to achieve, apparently.

    Thanks again for the reply!
