RE: How does Bluetooth® 5 increase the achievable range of a Bluetooth low energy connection?

3958858 — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:53:03 GMT

Hi.

I need the Long-Range (LR) feature of Bluetooth 5. As I undertand this is supported in the CC2640R2F LaunchPad kit ? I also understand that the feature will be released in 2017Q3. Is the LR feature there or not ? Is it prototype code or what ? I can accept non-released code for LR feature, as long as the final code will be available later. I need the LR feature for the prototyping work, and LR is the most important decision point, between differnet suppilers. Datarates is not of interest, because I have very litte data to transmit. I would REALLY like to use TI because of the SImpleLink protocol, which I have used in other projects, but LR is more important than SimpleLink.

RE: 5 need to know facts about the new SimpleLink™ Bluetooth low energy CC2640R2F wireless MCU

Interesting! Very good to have it pin compatible tp the CC2640 QFN packages.

According to the web for the LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2:

Bluetooth 5 core specification physic layer (PHY) support for higher throughput and longer range (Bluetooth 5 protocol stack support will be enabled with future software updates).

Any estimate about the release date for supporting the long range option (i.e. with 125kbps data rate)?

Thanks!

Hi, I would like to know if Feibit had any Smoke Detector or Siren. We want to integrate it to our own controller. Any suggestion? Please advice.

RE: Designing wireless motion-detector systems with Sub-1 GHz

Phone or tablet connects over Bluetooth Low Energy to one unit at a time and provide an easy interface to that unit. It is up to the developer to decide which features and options to design. Technically, there is no limitation to send messages to any node in the network through this interface if the system is designed that way.

The Sub-1GHz network mentioned in the blog is a star network that has one collector and many sensors. During system setup user brings up the collector first to establish the network. At that point, BLE can be used to configure the network properties (security level for example) when connecting phone to the collector device. Later, when each node is enabled and about to join the network, BLE can be used to configure that node (provide password for example).

Hi, Does the phone or tablet only connect to one motion detector via bluetooth and then able to set the network properties and security credentials to the other 2 motion detector?

As of now there is no specific plan to release a TI-Design. If you look in the resources section of the blog you can find two related TI-Designs that might be useful:

do you plan a TI-Design out of this?

Your question got truncated, but if i understand it correctly, the answer is yes, you can use it for bar code scanning. I know that since we used this to demonstrate QR Code scanning for personal wireless ID tags. We scanned the QR code with a phone and got the person's contacts. It worked perfectly. Note that since your application is moving, you need to consider wifi covering range, and power-usage if your application will be battery powered.

Dear Madam, sir

My name is Mr Haythem and I'm working in a production plant as a project manager.

We are looking if the E-paper technology "could be" a solution for our case. If you let, I explain the topic :

I have to take (from time to time) a small quantity of components from a big container (C1) located in a storage place (P1). I will put them in a small container (C2) and move it to the working Area (P2).

The container (C1) is identified with a label containing a bar code (batch number, expiration date...).

The container (C2) should keep and move with the same information that have the container C1.

We will need and scan these information once arrived in the working

Hi TheDarkSide,

Thank you for the range estimator calculator, I am learning how to use it.

Do you have any tool to calculate the power consumption of the nodes?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm really interested in study homekit project. May I test this example code on my on board (MSP432) ? Or I can do this just with MFi license ? Thanks
