Ok well i stated an experiment today with the two RG modules. I ran it for an hour and got some ‘results’ although i am going to write a new excel program to do it properly…
Now then, I tried the lower speed, 250kbps and 8byte payload amazing result:
90.26941758% Success - 10% dropped
0.000277388 Second Average Time
Wow, I will confirm it this evening!!!
Although they both ran for 5 mins, the second one used 24089 packets (less time spent on timeouts) and the first one was only 13264 packets.
I have no idea why the slower speed was quicker!!!
As i say i will make sure these are correct. Mainly by checking that DR goes low after clocking out data, it could be that data is still left in the RX which is packed up on the next loop.
did u used PIC for it. Is so could i get codes on how to implement it. Didn;t now how to use the RX and TX pin of the pic. The tutorial provided by sparkfun used normal PORTA and PortB pins for clocking in the data and receiving the data. Any kind of help could be highly appreciated.
The code i used was the sparkfun example just moded a bit.
Not sure how else to explain it, if i load the sparkfun 8byte payload example it works with no adaptation. Perhaps u should try getting that to work first…
