Use ANT extended message

[nirmal@nordic]

hi, Everyone,

I have started with new ANT project using S210 and example-> scan and forward inside ant directory. I want to know if there is any SDK i can send extended message inside ANT structure. All I know is there is place for extended message, but looks like SDK is not there to fill that message ....

Is there anyway I can fill up this ?? so that I can send more than 8 Byte in the ANT message ..

The maximum payload of a broadcast data message is 8 bytes. If you want larger payload you must use advanced burst data.

With extended messages, the normal data type messages (broadcast/acknowledge/burst) can be extended to allow ANT to pass additional information to the host, along with the received data message. This extended information is not sent over the air, it is information that is containted in the stack, like channel ID, RSSI, Timestamp, and so on.
