New release of SimpliciTI (>1.1.0)

Currently, there is no schedule for a new release of SimpliciTI.

Is there something, in particular, that you are looking for that SimpliciTI-1.1.0 does not provide?

I'm looking for :

1. more code examples, for example on the use of range extender (documented)

2. more documentation for the "Access Point as Data Hub" example. It is the most difficult but the documantation is the least detailed (ex. no sequence diagram).

3. frequency agility capable of changing from 400 to 900 mhz

4. combine the use of Range Extender and End Point devices together in one device, so, the possibility for the Range Extender to be not always on

5. more than 4 range extender in the network

Thanks.

Hi Danny,

1. You will see more and more code using SimpliciTI or parts of SimpliciTI in the future. Recently there was a release of the CC USB Library examples that was based on MRFI (lower layer of SimpliciTI) and I'm sure others will follow. Range Extenders do not have their own example project can the code can be found in the AP as Data Hub example. The code is really simple. A SMPL_Init() on a device of type RANGE_EXTENDER and you are ready. Remember that the range extender is dead stupid and just repeats messages it hears without much logic in the process.

2. Assume you have seen the Sample Application User's Guide and chapter 3.4? This can be found under the doc folder in your simpliciTI install folder.

3. This is a rather special frequency agility that might require that you change most or all of the radio register runtime, something SimpliciTI does not support.

4. Hmm... think this is doable with 1.1.0, although I have not tried this myself.

5. Have you tried with more? Don't think there is anything preventing you from adding more, but remember that since the REs are so 'stupid' , you can end up in a scenario where more REs creates broadcast storms and jam your network.

Hi Danny, have you succeeded in having an end device wich can become a range extender at run time?.

Could anybody help?

I though I could do it by modifying nwk_replayFrame() so that it does not reply in case range extender is not enabled, but I have studied it a bit more, and now I think it is not going to work ok because the range extender do not reply frames from other range extenders, and all devices are compiled as RANGE_EXTENDER.

Regards

Hi Danny,

Hi Kjetil, thanks for your answers,

1. I hope

2. Yes, I have seen this

3. Ok, but can I change SimpliciTI to do this? If it's possible, where I can start?

4. I'm pretty good if it's doable but I don't know how. Any suggestion?
