Radio Frequence library to handle a "liaison" layer with address, packet id and ack management

RFLink

This is an Arduino library for managing level 2 ("link") communication with RF devices. Tested and used with Texas Instruments (tm) CC1101 device. Works on top of arduino-CC1101 library (see below).

The link layer implements:

• Packet ID, to properly ignore already-received packets
• ACK, so that the sender will know data good reception

The notion of sender and receiver address is managed by RFLink, although this is in part already managed as a built-in feature of CC1101.

Installation

Download a zip of this repository, then include it from the Arduino IDE.

IMPORTANT You'll also need to install arduino-cc1101 library, available here: https://github.com/veonik/arduino-cc1101

Usage

See examples/example1/sender/sender.ino and examples/example1/receiver/receiver.ino for an example.

There are other examples available:

• examples/example1

  Simple RFLink usage

• examples/example2

  Use of deferred executions + used by test/t1.sh to do tests (need 2 boards each having a RF circuit like CC1101 plugged on).
