OSI Layer 3 Networking for nRF24L01(+) Radios on Arduino and Raspberry Pi

TMRh20 2014-2023 - Newly Optimized Network Layer for nRF24L01(+) radios

Introducing RF24Network & RF24Mesh v2.0 with some significant API changes, adding the use of C++ Templates in order to support a range of ESB enabled radios, most recently NRF52x radios.

Important Notes:

• Any network layer that uses v2 needs to have RF24Network/RF24Mesh dependencies of v2 or newer. RF24 v1.x is an exception here.
• General usage should remain backward compatible, see the included examples of the related libraries for more info
• Any third party libs that extend the network/mesh layer may also need to be updated to incorporate the new templated class prototypes:

template<class radio_t>
class ESBNetwork;
  
template<class network_t, class radio_t>
class ESBMesh;

• Third party libs should also be able to use the backward-compatible typedef in their template:
  • ESBGateway.h:

  template<typename network_t, typename mesh_t>
  class ESBGateway

  and inform the compiler what types they intend to support:
  • ESBGateway.cpp:

  template class ESBGateway<RF24Network, RF24Mesh>;

• The auto installers do not perform a version check like package managers, so having the correct versions of the software is important.
• We will be maintaining the v1.x versions with bugfixes etc for those who cannot or do not wish to migrate to the newer template approach.
