Hey, I use ESB protocol on nrf51822. I am using one Pipe currently I can achieve only 183 Kbps, I read that i can achieve 1Mbps data rate if we use ESB. I have few questions Can we achieve 1Mbps if we use ESB is so how? If its by using all the 8 pipes how to we configure 8 pipes and Is there any loss in switching from one pipe to another pipe and i am using single trx and rxx. so if i use 8 pipes does address change? If we cant achieve 1Mbps.What are the other options?

@trk: You can achieve 1Mbps (or could be higher) if you use 2Mbps bit rate. Note that the on air bite rate and the actual data rate are different. When transmitting a packet you have to transfer the header…
