Is it possible to run multiprotocol ANT, ANT-FC, Zigbee and BLE at the same time?

[Waqas Qammar]

Hello All,

I want to know if I can run all this protocol at once? if yes can I find an example or can you suggest me a guide? I know there are examples to use BLE and ANT at the same time and BLE and Zigbee at the same time. But Can we run all these protocols at once? My application is specifically taking data from all these sources and using a WIF upload it to web.

Hi.

You can run multiprotocols on our devices, just remember:

1. You cannot have multiple radio operations at once, you have to share the radio usage between the protocols you want to use in your project.

2. Using multiple protocols reduces the available memory on your device.

You can take a look at BLE and ANT multiprotocol here.

You can take a look at BLE and Zigbee multiprotocol here.

Best regards,

It means I can do Time Multiplexing and use all the protocol. for example use BLE for 200msec, then use ANT for 200msec and so on... right?

Hi.

You have to use the Radio Timeslot API to allocate timeslots to other tasks then BLE, read more about that here and here.

Best regards,
