nRF51822 - Proprietary RF - How To Switch between RX and TX For Bi-directional Communication?

[Mahonroy]

Hello, I have my project up and running using the "nrf51-micro-esb" project. I can successfully set my device to PRX mode and have it receive payloads just fine. Similarly, I can set it to PTX mode and can successfully transmit payloads.

I need to be able to have it in PRX mode for most of the time, then periodically switch over to PTX to send off some transmissions - then revert back to PRX mode. I was planning on putting the transmission stuff in a timer handler so I can send transmissions on some set time interval.

I was imaging there would be a function to switch between the two PTX/PRX functions for this exact thing... but I can't seem to find anything? Is there something I am missing?

This project uses the file "micro_esb.c" for most of the nRF functions.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

In ESB, there is an option for using ACK'ing. In the example, the ACK will be sent in: NRF_ESB_EVENT_RX_RECEIVED --> nrf_esb_write_payload() --> start_tx_transaction().

The example I was looking at was esb_low_power_prx .
