I've got most everything running using easylink between a 1310 and a 1352. I'm using the default 50kbps via EasyLink_Phy_Custom via smartrfstudio (from the example code)
My application doesn't use much bandwidth, and the endpoints are relatively close (~50-100ft), but the transmission path is less than optimal (big chunks of steel in the way, high horsepower electric motors throwing off interference, non-line-of-sight, and other 900MHz traffic in the vicinity). The default settings work, but I am looking to get a bit more stability and reliability by trading off some bandwidth.
I noticed one of the PhyTypes is EasyLink_Phy_5kbpsSlLr. 5kbps is probably good for my data needs. I didn't have much luck getting that to work, but it looks like I can just export the settings in smartrfstudio.
My general question is what settings should I use to improve the defaults (better link stability with slower speeds)? Is it as simple as reducing the symbol rate from 50 to 10?
Battery life is possibly a bigger concern in this application, so I'm also looking for the tradeoff in power (i.e. slower speeds keeping the radio on longer). That's probably harder to give guidance on, and I'll probably have to just watch the power consumption once its up and running. I want to make sure I'm on the right track on the radio end first.
