I am using 2 xbees to communicate with each other. Right now the coordinator is sending data to the router. I used the XCTU range test to check if there is no packet loss however, there was always minimum 5% loss.
Is this normal? Is there a way to get 100% efficiency?
Relevant information:
- The coordinator is connected with PC through USB module having CP2102 chip.
- The router module is connected to PC through RS232.
- Currently have set the coordinator for unicast communication.
- Baudrate is 9600
Yes it is normal to not have 100% packet efficiency.
I know that API mode allow you to have a check to be sure the packet is arrived and you can get the 100% but in AT mode, the only way to be sure is to send a message to say “yes i receive this packet”.
Look at API possibilities.
good luck
Thanks a lot, I went through the datasheet and found transmit status frame which can be used in API mode.
However, I still have one doubt and that is suppose a transmission fails, then what is the maximum time in which I should be expecting the transmit status frame? So that I would consider the transmission to be a failure if the noted time has elapsed.
