Radio Transmitter/Receiver example modification

[techietech]

Hello !!

I want to use Radio transmitter/ receiver example in my custom board which is used for BT remote control battery powered. I have added 10 buttons on my board and define it on example. I want to send UUID code so that it could be distinguished. 

Now after modifying the code I am getting same values on each button pressed. I am not able to find how the transmitter example sending values. Anyone help me out with :

1. Sending UUID with transmitter example.

2. Sending same data on each button press as it was doing with the default example.

3. As it is battery powered, I want to put it on low power mode so that battery could run long last.

I will appreciate any response.

Thanks

Hi 

If I understand you correctly you want to implement a proprietary radio protocol rather than use a standard one such as Bluetooth?

If you want to do proprietary RF I would recommend you use the nrf_esb library, rather than start with the very simple radio transmitter/receiver examples. 

The esb_ptx and esb_prx examples in the \nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\proprietary_rf\ folder show how you can get started using the nrf_esb library. 

Out of the box these examples are not very low power, but I would recommend getting the basic functionality in place before you start to focus on power optimizations. 

Best regards

I just want to broadcast message from transmitter to receiver for now from my custom board. For that I have changed for 10 buttons and changed the needful thing after checking all the headers files. When I am sending I am getting the output like :

The contents of the package is 251 on each button press.

Hi

Can you attach the code you use for updating the RF payload based on the button presses?

I am using RF radio transmitter / receiver code from nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde sdk.

Hi 

You stated earlier that you modified the code. Are you able to share these modifications with me so I can have a look at what you have changed?

I can make the case private if you want, in case you don't want to share your code in a public case. 

Best regards
Torbjørn
