Zigbee notify when connection is lost

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2530, Z-STACK

Hi,

I'm trying to do a range test with CC2530 and CC2650 using Zigbee, and I'm wondering if there is a way to check the connection of two boards, lets say once a second, and if the connection is lost, an led on both boards will light up. This will make it easier to do a range test so I can just walk a board away from another one and when the led goes on, I know I have reached the end of the range.

I was looking through the Sample Light and Sample Switch code, but I'm not sure if there is something already built in that checks the connection. If there is, how would I implement that? Thanks

There is no such mechanism in Z-Stack. You can do it by send an IEEE address request to each other and if there is no reponse, it means another node is lost connection.

Any tips on how to do that? I'm looking at the function MT_ZdoIEEEAddrRequest in MT_ZDO.c for the sample light application and I'm thinking that might be useful, but I'm not completely sure.

Thanks

You can use API ZDP_IEEEAddrReq to do IEEE address request.
