Empty packets received occasionally on BL653

[Dagan Raviv]

Hello,

I'm working with nRF52840 for some time, communicating esb on a BL653-DK (Laird), trough nRF52840dongle.

Recently I noticed that during ongoing communication, occasionally a packet is received on the BL653 with length 0

(in "esb.c" file, in 'esb_read_rx_payload' function: payload->length == 0), while all packets are sent correctly from the dongle,

and also received and read correctly by my esb sniffer app.

The timings of these received empty packets are within expected time gaps, and it occurs every few hundreds of milliseconds, every few tens of packets.

Any guess on what can be the cause of this issue, and if and how it can be avoided? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I changed the value to 600 on both ends, yet I am still getting empty packets instead of "real" ones once in a while...

Any more ideas?

Kind regards,

Dagan

Hi,

 

Do you see this issue if you use the stock (unmodified) PRX and PTX samples?

 

Kind regards,
