nRF24L01+ Received Power Detector

Dear Nordic engineer

  I have a question that How to use register 09.Please give me an example.

Thank you

Best wish

Jason

  • Thank you Torbjørn!

    Yes you are right.

    In the TX ,there are many ways to evaluate if there is a lot of disturbance on the channel.

    But in the RX, I think that there is no way to evalute the situation but using 0X09 register.

    For example, when Tx AND Rx has no conection or Tx message is a random signal, how dose the RX device evaluate interference on this RF channel???

  • Hi David

    I agree with you, if you don't have a link running sending packets repeatedly then you can't use the methods I described. 

    In this case the RPD bit would be a better choice. 

    Just keep in mind that the RPD bit doesn't discriminate between unwanted noise and a signal from a TX device that you might want to listen to. 

    Best regards

  • En , I will combine CD & IQR or status register together.

    My device works normally most of the time but some time (about last 10 mins) has high number of retransmits. I think it is disturbed by WLAN in the office. Am I right?

    Do you have any application reference about  avoiding noise from WIFI and Buletooth?

    I am hopeless! help! help!

  • Hi David

    What is the distance between the TX and the RX? 

    Do they have line of sight, or are there walls or other things in between?

    Do you run communication in a single, static channel, or do you use some kind of frequency jumping scheme?

    The most common way to handle interference is to switch to a different RF frequency when the number of retransmits increases. By using several different channels across the 2.4GHz ISM band you can typically find a free channel that is not affected by WiFi unless you have many different WiFi networks in close proximity. 

    We made the Gazell protocol for this very purpose. It uses an nRF24L series radio at its core, and adds functionality to switch the frequency automatically when the retransmit count is high.

    The distance between the Tx & Rx is 12 meter. (I have already add a RF2401C chip for power amplification).

    There is one wall between them.

    I run in a single channel with (2400+17) MHz all the time.

    What? !!?!?!?!?!?!?  Gazell protocol? At nRF24L series' core?   Where?  Than is great!

    I can not find anything about Gazell protocol in the datasheet of nRF24l01+ !

    Can you send a datasheet to me?
