Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hello.

What is the most suitable way to transmit by Z-stack rather huge (about 1600 samples per second) flow of ADC data?

In the HomeAutomation folder of the stack distributive I've found mostly examples of transmitting commands.

Basically, this data rate is a little bit too high for Zigbee protocol. I would suggest you to use other protocol like BLE or BT to do it.

Does BT mean BlueTooth?

Anyway, is there any example of flow data transmission using Z-Stack?

Yes, BT means Bluetooth. There’s no flow data transmission example. You can keep calling AF_DataReqest to do flow transmission.

Thank you.
But, for example, if I replace call of zcl_SendCommand to AF_DataReqest in SampleSwitch example where should I set breakpoint in SampleLight example to see transmitted data?

I suggest you to refer to GenericApp in Z-Stack mesh 1.0.0. It shows you how to send and receive “Hello world” messages between two nodes.

Thank you.

But is AF_DataRequest reliable? I.e. can I be sure that any data I send with this function will be received?

Or I have to use any other functionality of ZStack?

There is MAC ack and APS ack when you send message by AF_DataRequest. You can enable APS ack when using AF_DataRequest to send message. If you don't get APS ACK, you can resend the message again.

Thank you.
And one more question:
how can I get end devices list from the coordinator?

0 YiKai Chen over 6 years ago in reply to Ilya Sokolov1

Guru 735455 points

You can use API ZDP_MgmtLqiReq to do LQI request to any node and the LQI response would have device list connect to that node.

Thank you.

But I meant than I need to get the devices list of the coordinator by the code, running on the coordinator.

I tried code like this:

        NLME_GetRequest( nwkNumNeighborTableEntries, 0, &maxItems );
        for (index = 0; index<maxItems;  index++)
        {
          aDevice = AssocFindDevice( index );
          zclSampleSw_DstAddr.addrMode = afAddr16Bit;
          zclSampleSw_DstAddr.addr.shortAddr =  aDevice->shortAddr;
          char theMessageData[] = "Hello!";
         
          byte cnt = bdb_getZCLFrameCounter();
          err = AF_DataRequest( &zclSampleSw_DstAddr, afFindEndPointDesc(0 ),
                         ZCL_CLUSTER_ID_GEN_ON_OFF,
                         (byte)osal_strlen( theMessageData ) + 1,
                         (byte *)&theMessageData,
                         &cnt,
                             AF_DISCV_ROUTE, AF_DEFAULT_RADIUS );
        }

but maxItems is always equal to zero.

The devices is kept on association list not neighbor table.

Got it.

Thanks.

I used

  maxItems = AssocCount( PARENT, CHILD_FFD_RX_IDLE );

and all worked.
