nrf51822 ANT mesh protocol

Hi All,

I want to implement a network which will consist of 64 sensors at different location sent to a central node . Can use the nrf51822 with ANT mesh protocol to implement that. What is the maximum nodes supported ?

Regards, Dibin

You need to use the nRF51422 if you want to use the ANT protocol. The 51822 and 51422 have the same pin layout and are almost identical except for the different softdevices they support.

Off the top of my head the max number of nodes supported is over 64 so you should be fine.
