Hi, the ANT protocol defines the channel message rate in a range from 0.5Hz to above 200Hz, with the upper limit dependant on the specific implementation.
What are the limits for nRF51422?
I tried to use the ant_broadcast_rx_s210_pca10028 and the ant_broadcast_tx_s210_pca10028 examples and I added these:
sd_ant_channel_period_set(CHANNEL_0, PERIOD_VALUE_IN_MS);
in the static void ant_channel_tx_broadcast_setup(void) and static void ant_channel_tx_broadcast_setup(void) functions.
I tried to use different values for the PERIOD_VALUE_IN_MS const. I saw that if I use a value less than 100, the receiver miss few messages (I'm using the UART to print the received values)
. At first I thought that the problem was the UART print function, but I tried to remove it and also the led on the receiver board blink really slow, so I thought the problem was the transmission rate.
Is there a way to send data at frequency of 100Hz ? I think that a byte could be enough.
Thanks!
EDIT: I can confirm that the Transmitter works fine also with a period of 10 ms (Message Rate of 100 Hz), the problem seems to be the Receiver.
