Promiscuous listen for nRF24L01+

[Dave Retz]

I would like for the nodes in the network to be able to talk to any other node, even if the other node address are not pre-configured.

For example, I would like to be able to add nodes and have them transmit to a destination, without that destination having been pre-configured to know the address of the new node.

Is that possible?

The intent is to be able to make the network dynamic and expandable, without having to pre-configure all of the node addresses. This would be possible if a node could do a listen from any address, and find out upon receipt the address of the sender.

Hi Dretz,

I don't really understand your requirement.

Why would the receiver PRX need to know about the transmitter PTX in advance ??

PRX listens to any packet that arrive with the address matches with its own RX addresses (up to 6).

So more than 1 PTX can transmit data to one PRX address (one pipe) with no problem. Of course there will be collision if they transmit at the same time, but if they have different retransmission delays, it should be fine.

@Dave: Yes, it's a very good solution. I don't see any problem with that.
