ANT Inclusion/Exclusion Lists

Does the nRF51422 ANT Inclusion/Exclusion list require all values in the list to be defined, or may some of them be '0' or 'wildcard' values?

Asked in another way, does sd_ant_id_list_add allow wild card values to be added for the inclusion/exclusion list? If so, what is the effect of these wild card values during scanning?

Thanks!

  • I just tested this, and the inclusion list works as expected with wildcard values.

    Also, Section 6.2 in the ANT Message and Usage 5.1 states:

    This means that the slave will only connect to one of the specific master channel IDs listed (or in the case of a wild card, the first matching ID found).

  • Thanks again for testing this out Petter. Just wanted to provide an update for anyone looking to do the same with exclusion lists. You cannot add an element with all wildcard values to the exclusion list. Doing so will cause the device to never connect to anything. Might seem obvious but I thought someone might like to know.
