Hey guys, We have several different devices that use the nRF51822 and some using the nRF24L01. We currently use the proprietary RF protocol and have all of our devices successfully communicating with one another. Our payload format basically consists of a header section and a data section. The header section has information such as "Payload ID", "To ID", "From ID", etc. So the payloads get to the device they need to get to. Each device idles in listening mode, and switches to transmit mode temporarily to shoot off payloads to other devices.
We are now wanting to incorporate a retransmission/mesh type structure. Are there other libraries out there that we can just adapt our structure into and be good to go? Would we be better off making some modifications to our current proprietary RF protocol to have devices retransmit payloads? The goal is to extend the range with multiple devices, and not clutter/overwhelm the RF network.
Thanks and any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
