Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK, CC2530

Hi,

Is it possible to change Tx output power dynamically while my network application is running?

Best Regards,

Necdet

    Hi Necdet,

     

    The answer for your question should be "yes", but, since you'r using an older version

    of Z-stack, I'm not sure hat the answer is positive. I think that you have "Z-stack API.pdf"

    document in z-stack documentation folder, there should be an API for such things. 

    For example "Z-stack API.pdf" in Z-stack 2.5.0 (for cc253x) provides a function called

    ZMacSetTransmitPower(). I know for sure that there was a bug in this function in previous

    versions of Z-stack.

    One more way, very undesired and highly risky, is to apply a brute force, that is by writing

    some valid value directly to TXPOWER register.

    Thanks again Igor,

    I'm going to move my work to CC2530 very soon. It's good to hear that solution is possible at least with cc253x.

    Best Regards,
