Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1350
Hi,
We are working with CC1350 US Launchpads to create a mesh network (with webdemo code in Nodes and slip radio in Router)and send data via MQTT. But we are getting very poor range (max 40 Meter Line of Sight). We have changed the smart rf settings for 915 MHz and also changed frequency and RSSI thresholds.
Please check the following configurations that we are using,
#ifdef PROP_MODE_CONF_RSSI_THRESHOLD
#define PROP_MODE_RSSI_THRESHOLD PROP_MODE_CONF_RSSI_THRESHOLD
#else
#define PROP_MODE_RSSI_THRESHOLD 0x9C
#endif
#ifdef DOT_15_4G_CONF_FREQUENCY_BAND_ID
#define DOT_15_4G_FREQUENCY_BAND_ID DOT_15_4G_CONF_FREQUENCY_BAND_ID
#else
#define DOT_15_4G_FREQUENCY_BAND_ID DOT_15_4G_FREQUENCY_BAND_915
#endif

Please let me know if we are missing something or doing something wrong. Also what is the maximum range that we can achieve with CC1350 running contiki?
Thanks
