nfr24l01 programming technique

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hey folks,
I have been playing with the nrf radios for awhile, and am having some pretty decent success, alot of which i attribute to this forum, so thanks everyone, much appreciated.
This is more of a general question concerning programming for radio transmission. Right now, my program transmits a data packet only once for the receiver to accept and interpret. This seems to work just fine, but it seems like there should be some redundancy built it, ie, keep sending the data over and over so there are multiple chances for the receiver to pick it up. Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this.

FWIW, I am using the voltage regulator modules, and the nrf receiver has the extended antenna. Library is NRFLite - I highly recommend this library if you are just starting with these radios, very easy to use.

While i'm at it, another question popped into my head - how do you adjust the power to max with NRFLite. With the tmrh20 library, it's RF24_PA_MAX. For that matter, is there a list of NRFLite commands out there somewhere?

anyway, thanks a

If you are using the nRF24 in the normal way with the transmission being acknowledged then that is almost certainly happening automatically. You can set the number of re-tries before a message is considered failed.

And if the sending program does receive an acknowledgement there is obviously no need for any further transmissions of that message.
