Hi all!
I have some module based on cc430 and I use simpliciti 1.2.0. Simpliciti has some default rf settings for cc430 core (868MHz, 250kbod and something like that). It works, but I want to change some RF settings: data rate, deviation and RX filter BW in order that make better rf-link (increase work distance between network nodes)
1) First I try to use some default settings from SmartRF Studio, for example "Data rate 1.2kbod, Dev 5.2kHz, 2-FSK, RX BW 58kHz Optimized for sensitivity". But it didn't work. AP didn't see join-packet from EP.
2) After that I took default rf-config file from Simpliciti (smartrf_CC430.h) and transfered data from it to the Smartrf Studio (changed register values). Next I changed data rate, deviation and RX filter BW in Smartrf, made new config file and included it in my IAR project. And it works.
But I don't know how calculate right values of data rate, deviation and RX filter BW to increase well-work distance!
Can somebody help with that?
PS: I send little information packet about 5-10 bytes payload and don't need high data rate. But max work distance is very important for me.
