Proper radio addressing

[ImQ009]

I'm trying to implement my own radio protocol but the section about addressing in reference manual is very unclear to me. In the "Definition of logical addresses" table it shows that I need to use appropriate base addresses and prefixes depending on which logical address I choose. So, if say I want to use logical address of 0 do I have to use BASE0? And for logical addresses of 1 and higher BASE1? Also, there's this "Prefix byte" column which I don't quite understand. What does the AP0/1/2/../7 stand for?

Thank you in advance

Hi lmQ009,

Instead of using 8 registers for 8 logical address, we use only 4 because the addresses don't need to be unique in all the bytes (just 1 byte unique is enough).

So we have BASE0, BASE1, PREFIX0, PREFIX1.

The combination in table 99 will construct the 8 unique address. Logical address 0 will have the first byte is PREFIX0.AP0 and the rest (2-3 or 4 bytes) is BASE0.

Logical address 1 will have the first byte is PREFIX0.AP1 and the rest (2-3 or 4 bytes) is BASE1. And so on.

So logical address 1 to logical address 7 will have the same base and only have 1 unique prefix byte, when logical address 0 has its own base and the 1 byte unique prefix.
