ANT Forum

Hi,

I developed an electronic board powered with Arduino microprocessor connected via UART to a nRF24AP2 8-channel ANT module.
I written an application capable to scan and connect with multiple HRM master nodes for tracking data during a fitness session. All works fine!
The question is: when a master node goes out of ANT module receiving range for more than 30 seconds it is not capable to reconnect it but if it remain for less time it reconnects. I try to power down, in range, a node and power up and it reconnects.
Is there an ANT command to send to module to try to reconnect missing nodes or I must disconnect, close that channel and try to reconnect it? Is there a smart solution to this problem?
Many thanks

     

Hi,

This is known as a search timeout, the amount of time the slave channel will keep looking for the master channel until it closes. You may either set this value to infinity, or re-open the channel as required.

Some recommend App Notes from the Downloads page include:

ANT Channel Search and Background Scanning Channel
Device Pairing
