Re : nRF52832 and dongle commuication

[amur9465]

Hello Everyone,

i have got a steamVR tracker kit which has a bluetooth module  Nordic nRF52832-QFAA 2.4GHz Radio SoC with Cortex M4 Processor  and the trackers are connected through a steam wireless dongle.

i have come to know that dongle supports only one device to be connected at a time.but i am using 8 trackers and i don't want to connect it through 8 USB ports which is inefficient and lot of problems. so i wanted to know if the nRF5240 dongle supports many to one communication and i wanted to know the protocol between them. 

how can i go on connecting 8 trackers sending data to a single wireless dongle.

what about the nRF24L01+ dongle transreciever IC ??

suppose i use 10 nRF52832 and all are sending data to one nRF24L01+ , will there be a problem with that or do i need to use 1 nRF52832  to its corresponding nRF24L01+ ??  Please help me in answering this so that i can move on with my project.

Hi, 

I'm not sure what you are planning to do with the nRF24L01+ ? Where is the steamVR tracker in the picture? 

Of course 10 nRF52832 can talk to one nRF24L01+ but you need to use ESB/raw Radio protocol, and do some coding, and I don't know how that work with the SteamVR tracker.

I cannot change any protocols in staemVR tracker, so planning to build my own tracker where i can use 10 nRF52832 bluetooth module embedded on the tracker communicating with one nRF24L01+ transceiver dongle. thanks a lot for the reply
