Gazell multilink

Hi,

I want to use more than 8 devices with gazelle protocol, so is there any way to expand the pipe number or change the pipe addresses in runtime ? Host device will know which device is going to be available to change address accordingly.

And is something like common pipe for host to broadcast messages to all devices possible ? Something like pipe 0 for broadcast and 1-7 for individual channels.

Thanks for help, I hope you'll understand me.

Hi,

It's possible to update the pipe addresses run-time, thereby it is possible for the host to dynamically update the pipe addresses in intervals (e.g. every few ms), so it is appears as if it has more communication pipes than it really does. It's also possible to do the same with which frequencies that are used. This will appear as packet loss seen from the device side, and overall increase latency and power consumption.

There is no way to broadcast data in reverse direction. The host will have to transmit data individually to each device.
