ShockBurst library support on nRF52820

[lennonb]

All of our wireless products over the past 10 years have used the nRF24L01 or nRF24L01+. In order to minimize latency for our time-critical communications protocol, we are using the ShockBurst packet format. We run at 1Mbps data rate. So, our packet looks like this:

1 byte preamble, 3 byte address, 1 byte payload, 2 byte CRC. 

We are trying to finish up the firmware on our next remote control unit that is now using the nRF52820 processor/radio, but the available radio libraries only support Enhanced ShockBurst. Do you have a nRF52 library available that includes ShockBurst support?

Thanks - Brian

I suggest to check out the \examples\peripheral\radio example:

Dear Brian,

we are in a similar situation like you. May I ask whether you were successful? And how long did it take you approximately?

Thank you!

Hi Uli,

I did not do the development myself, but had a contractor do it instead. Yes, he was successful! The radio examples posted by Kenneth above were very helpful. It took our contractor about 1 week to get it working, but he was not working on it full time.

Regards,

Brian
