Gazell host with multiple devices

[JimInCA]

I'm new to Gazell, so please excuse the simplicity of my question, but I just seem to be missing something.

I have an application where I will be using one host with two devices. When the host receives a packet of data, how does the host tell which device sent the packet? It seems to me that this should be obvious, but I just seem to be missing it.

Thanks in advance... Jim...

Hi Jim

When you have multiple devices communicating with a single host you normally differentiate them by having the devices transmit to different pipes in the host.
In the nRF5x family the radio has 8 unique pipes, each one associated with a unique RF address, and when a packet is received you will get the pipe information for each packet (in the range 0-7).

Best regards
