esb max total packets

[cece]

Hello,

I am using ESB protocol and there is a definition says "#define NRF_ESB_CONST_MAX_TOTAL_PACKETS 6" so how can I use maximum total packets number? I am looking higher data rate, so it will be really useful for me.

If I am wrong, can you please correct me, this definition says I can send 6 packets each transmission time and each of them is 32 bytes. Total throughput will be (1000/1.2)* 32 * 6*8 bit per second without ACK packet type.

Best Regards.

The NRF_ESB_CONST_MAX_TOTAL_PACKETS 6 defines the maximum number of packets possible in the FIFO. You can mix and match which FIFO to put and have packets in, but together you can't have more than 6 at any give point.

This is not a limitation on you that want to send as many packets as possible. You will just have to keep updating the FIFO during transmission. So you send one packet out of the FIFO and then you can upload or write pointer to the same TX pipe FIFO at the same time. As long as the TX FIFO on that pipe is constantly filled with new packets, the radio will keep sending them back to back. Keep in mind the 16 ms overall limitation.
