akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 866 | * the radio itself will draw about 13.5mA in receive mode. In sleep mode, it will use as little as 22ua (.000022mA) |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 867 | * of power when not actively transmitting or receiving data. In addition, the Arduino is powered down as well, |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 868 | * dropping network power consumption dramatically compared to previous capabilities. <br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 869 | * Note: Sleeping nodes generate traffic that will wake other nodes up. This may be mitigated with further modifications. Sleep |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 870 | * payloads are currently always routed to the master node, which will wake up intermediary nodes. Routing nodes can be configured |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 871 | * to go back to sleep immediately. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 872 | * The displayed millis() count will give an indication of how much a node has been sleeping compared to the others, as millis() will |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 873 | * not increment while a node sleeps. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 874 | *<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 875 | * - Using this sketch, each node will send a ping to every other node in the network every few seconds.<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 876 | * - The RF24Network library will route the message across the mesh to the correct node.<br> |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 899 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 900 | * Xbees are excellent little radios, backed up by a mature and robust standard |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 901 | * protocol stack. They are also expensive. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 902 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 903 | * For many Arduino uses, they seem like overkill. So I am working to improve the current |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 904 | * standard for nRF24L01 radios. The best RF24 modules are available for less than |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 905 | * $6 from many sources. With the RF24Network layer, I hope to cover many |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 957 | * Unlike a true mesh network, multiple nodes are not connected together, so there is only one |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 963 | * describes the position of the node within the tree. The address is an octal number. Each |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 964 | * digit in the address represents a position in the tree further from the base. |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 983 | * When sending a message using RF24Network::write(), you fill in the header with the logical |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 984 | * node address. The network layer figures out the right path to find that node, and sends |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 985 | * it through the system until it gets to the right place. This works even if the two nodes |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 986 | * are far separated, as it will send the message down to the base node, and then back out |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1016 | * The nrf24 radio modules typically use a 40-bit address format, requiring 5-bytes of storage space per address, and allowing a wide |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1017 | * array of addresses to be utilized. In addition, the radios are limited to direct communication with 6 other nodes while using the |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1018 | * Enhanced-Shock-Burst (ESB) functionality of the radios. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1019 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1020 | * RF24Network uses a simple method of data compression to store the addresses using only 2 bytes, in a format designed to represent the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1021 | * network topology in an intuitive way. |

akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1025 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1026 | * Say we want to designate a logical address to a node, using a tree topology as defined by the manufacturer. |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1027 | * In the simplest format, we could assign the first node the address of 1, the second 2 and so on. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1028 | * Since a single node can only connect to 6 other nodes (1 parent and 5 children) subnets need to be created if using more than 6 nodes.<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1029 | * In this case the children of node 1 could simply be designated as 11,21,31,41, and 51<br> |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1030 | * Children of node 2 could be designated as 12,22,32,42, and 52 |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1031 | * |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1089 | * When a transmission takes place from one radio module to another, the receiving radio will communicate |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1090 | * back to the sender with an acknowledgement (ACK) packet, to indicate success. If the sender does not |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1091 | * receive an ACK, the radio automatically engages in a series of timed retries, at set intervals. The |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1092 | * radios use techniques like addressing and numbering of payloads to manage this, but it is all done |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1093 | * automatically by the nrf chip, out of sight from the user. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1094 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1095 | * When working over a radio network, some of these automated techniques can actually hinder data transmission to a degree. |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1096 | * Retrying failed payloads over and over on a radio network can hinder communication for nearby nodes, or |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1097 | * reduce throughput and errors on routing nodes. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1098 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1099 | * Radios in this network are linked by <b>addresses</b> assigned to <b>pipes</b>. Each radio can listen |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1100 | * to 6 addresses on 6 pipes, therefore each radio has a parent pipe and 5 child pipes, which are used |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1101 | * to form a tree structure. Nodes communicate directly with their parent and children nodes. Any other |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1102 | * traffic to or from a node must be routed through the network. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1106 | * Anybody who is familiar at all with IP networking should be able to easily understand RF24Network topology. The |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1107 | * master node can be seen as the gateway, with up to 4 directly connected nodes. Each of those nodes creates a |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1108 | * subnet below it, with up to 4 additional child nodes. The numbering scheme can also be related to IP addresses, |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1109 | * for purposes of understanding the topology via subnetting. Nodes can have 5 children if multicast is disabled. |

akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1113 | * As an example, we could designate the master node in theory, as Address 10.10.10.10 <br> |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1114 | * The children nodes of the master would be 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, 10.10.10.4 and 10.10.10.5 <br> |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1122 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1123 | * Routing of traffic is handled invisibly to the user, by the network layer. If the network addresses are |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1124 | * assigned in accordance with the physical layout of the network, nodes will route traffic automatically |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1125 | * as required. Users simply constuct a header containing the appropriate destination address, and the network |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1126 | * will forward it through to the correct node. Individual nodes only route individual fragments, so if using |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1127 | * fragmentation, routing nodes do not need it enabled, unless sending or receiving fragmented payloads themselves. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1128 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1129 | * If routing data between parent and child nodes (marked by direct links on the topology image above) the network |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1130 | * uses built-in acknowledgement and retry functions of the chip to prevent data loss. When payloads are sent to |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1131 | * other nodes, they need to be routed. Routing is managed using a combination of built in ACK requests, and |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1132 | * software driven network ACKs. This allows all routing nodes to forward data very quickly, with only the final |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1133 | * routing node confirming delivery and sending back an |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1134 | * acknowledgement. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1135 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1136 | * Example: Node 00 sends to node 01. The nodes will use the built in auto-retry and auto-ack functions.<br> |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1137 | * Example: Node 00 sends to node 011. Node 00 will send to node 01 as before. Node 01 will forward the message to |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1138 | * 011. If delivery was successful, node 01 will also forward a message back to node 00, indicating success. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1139 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1140 | * Old Functionality: Node 00 sends to node 011 using auto-ack. Node 00 first sends to 01, 01 acknowledges. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1141 | * Node 01 forwards the payload to 011 using auto-ack. If the payload fails between 01 and 011, node 00 has |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1142 | * no way of knowing. |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1143 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1144 | * @note When retrying failed payloads that have been routed, there is a chance of duplicate payloads if the network-ack |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1145 | * is not successful. In this case, it is left up to the user to manage retries and filtering of duplicate payloads. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1146 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1147 | * Acknowledgements can and should be managed by the application or user. If requesting a response from another node, |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1148 | * an acknowledgement is not required, so a user defined type of 0-64 should be used, to prevent the network from |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1149 | * responding with an acknowledgement. If not requesting a response, and wanting to know if the payload was successful |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1150 | * or not, users can utilize header types 65-127. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1153 | * The RF24 radio modules are generally only capable of either sending or receiving data at any given |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1154 | * time, but have built-in auto-retry mechanisms to prevent the loss of data. These values are adjusted |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1155 | * automatically by the library on startup, but can be further adjusted to reduce data loss, and |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1156 | * thus increase throughput of the network. This page is intended to provide a general overview of its |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1157 | * operation within the context of the network library, and provide guidance for adjusting these values. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1160 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1161 | * The core radio library provides the functionality of adjusting the internal auto-retry interval of the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1162 | * radio modules. In the network configuration, the radios can be set to automatically retry failed |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1163 | * transmissions at intervals ranging anywhere from 500us (.5ms) up to 4000us (4ms). When operating any |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1164 | * number of radios larger than two, it is important to stagger the assigned intervals, to prevent the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1165 | * radios from interfering with each other at the radio frequency (RF) layer. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1166 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1167 | * The library should provide fairly good working values, as it simply staggers the assigned values within |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1168 | * groups of radios in direct communication. This value can be set manually by calling radio.setRetries(X,15); |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1169 | * and adjusting the value of X from 1 to 15 (steps of 250us). |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1172 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1173 | * The core radio library also provides the ability to adjust the internal auto-retry count of the radio |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1174 | * modules. The default setting is 15 automatic retries per payload, and can be extended by configuring |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1175 | * the network.txTimeout variable. This default retry count should generally be left at 15, as per the |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1176 | * example in the above section. An interval/retry setting of (15,15) will provide 15 retrys at intervals of |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1177 | * 4ms, taking up to 60ms per payload. The library now provides staggered timeout periods by default, but |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1178 | * they can also be adjusted on a per-node basis. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1179 | * |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1224 | * 1. Edit the RF24Network_config.h file, and uncomment #define DUAL_HEAD_RADIO |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1225 | * 2. Connect another radio, using the same MOSI, MISO, and SCK lines. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1226 | * 3. Choose another two pins to use for CE and CS on the second radio. Connect them. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1227 | * 4. Setup the radio and network like so: |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1228 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1229 | * @code |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1230 | * RF24 radio(7,8); // Using CE (7) and CS (8) for first radio |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1231 | * RF24 radio1(4,5); // Using CE (4) and CS (5) for second radio |
akashvibhute | 4:75c5aa56411f | 1232 | * RF24Network network(radio,radio1); // Set up the network using both radios |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1233 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1234 | * Then in setup(), call radio.begin(); and radio1.begin(); before network.begin(); |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1235 | * @endcode |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1236 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1237 | * 5. Upload to MCU. The node will now use the first radio to receive data, and radio1 to transmit, preventing data loss on a busy network. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1238 | * 6. Re-comment the #define in the config file as required if configuring other single-headed radios. |

akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1240 | * |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1241 | * Any node can be configured in dual-head mode. |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1252 | * |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1253 | * ZigBee is a much more robust, feature-rich set of protocols, with many different vendors |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1254 | * providing compatible chips. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1255 | * |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1256 | * RF24Network is cheap. While ZigBee radios are well over $20, nRF24L01 modules can be found |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1257 | * for under $2. My personal favorite is |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1262 | * Here are some comparisons between RF24Network and ZigBee. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1263 | * |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1264 | * @li Both networks support Star and Tree topologies. Only Zigbee supports a true mesh. |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1265 | * @li In ZigBee networks, only leaf nodes can sleep |
akashvibhute | 2:a5f8e04bd02b | 1266 | * @li ZigBee nodes are configured using AT commands, or a separate Windows application. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1267 | * RF24 nodes are configured by recompiliing the firmware or writing to EEPROM. |

akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1271 | * @li Leaf node: A node at the outer edge of the network with no children. ZigBee calls it |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1272 | * an End Device node. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1273 | * @li Relay node: A node which has both parents and children, and relays messages from one |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1274 | * to the other. ZigBee calls it a Router. |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1275 | * @li Base node. The top of the tree node with no parents, only children. Typically this node |
akashvibhute | 0:c3db0798d9aa | 1276 | * will bridge to another kind of network like Ethernet. ZigBee calls it a Co-ordinator node. |
