Getting RSSI from RFID trought serial comunication.

[HIALSRoffe]

Hi, We are a couple of students from Norway trying to get RSSI from an active RFID system we got from ebay.

We have now connected the tranceiver module to our PC running w7. Driver installed and comport ready for use. When we reveive data from the tags using "Termite 3.1" serial com software, we can not find any way to get the RSSI (signal strength) from the RFID tags.

Receiving this static info from tags: "fb 10 00 00 02 0f 08 01 û......."

I'm not exactly sure what that device is or what it does, but it says it uses the NRF24LE1 chip, which as far as i know doesn't support rssi indication. There is nothing in the nRF24LE1 Product Specification about RSSI, and it also mentions that it is based on the nRF24L01+ : https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/7804/rssi-of-nrf24l01/

There is something called Received Power Detector (section 3.3.4 in the PS) but it looks like it's just a boolean value indicating if the received power is more or less than -64 dBm.
