Macro Definition Documentation

◆ MY_RADIO_NRF24

#define MY_RADIO_NRF24

Define this to use a RF24-based radio transport for sensor network communication.

Deprecated:
This flag is deprecated and replaced by MY_RADIO_RF24

Definition at line 2331 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RF24_BASE_RADIO_ID

#define MY_RF24_BASE_RADIO_ID   0x00,0xFC,0xE1,0xA8,0xA8

RF24 radio network identifier.

This acts as base value for sensor nodeId addresses. Change this (or channel) if you have more than one sensor network.

Definition at line 446 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RF24_CHANNEL

#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL   (76)

RF channel for the sensor net, 0-125.

Frequencies: 2400 Mhz - 2525 Mhz

Channels: 126

https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/8765/2/42877161/2726
  • 0 => 2400 Mhz (RF24 channel 1)
  • 1 => 2401 Mhz (RF24 channel 2)
  • 76 => 2476 Mhz (RF24 channel 77)
  • 83 => 2483 Mhz (RF24 channel 84)
  • 124 => 2524 Mhz (RF24 channel 125)
  • 125 => 2525 Mhz (RF24 channel 126)

In some countries there might be limitations, in Germany for example only the range 2400,0 - 2483,5 Mhz is allowed.

◆ MY_RF24_DATARATE

#define MY_RF24_DATARATE   (RF24_250KBPS)

RF24 data rate.

  • RF24_250KBPS for 250kbs
  • RF24_1MBPS for 1Mbps
  • RF24_2MBPS for 2Mbps.
Note
nRF24L01, BK2401, BK2421, BK2491 and XN297 does not support RF24_250KBPS
BK2401 does not support RF24_2MBPS

Definition at line 435 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RF24_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION

#define MY_RF24_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION

Define this to enable software based AES encryption.

All nodes and gateway must have this enabled, and all must be personalized with the same AES key.

personalization
Warning
This driver always sets the initialization vector to 0 so encryption is weak.

Definition at line 2335 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL

#define MY_RF24_PA_LEVEL   (RF24_PA_HIGH)

Default RF24 PA level. Override in sketch if needed.

  • RF24_PA_MIN = -18dBm
  • RF24_PA_LOW = -12dBm
  • RF24_PA_HIGH = -6dBm
  • RF24_PA_MAX = 0dBm

Definition at line 396 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RF24_SPI_SPEED

#define MY_RF24_SPI_SPEED   (2*1000000ul)

Define this if you need to run the SPI clock at a different frequency than the default.

Default nRF24L01+ SPI speed, 2MHz should be safe for nRF24L01+ clones.

Definition at line 330 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE

#define MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE

This enables the receiving buffer feature.

This feature is currently not supported for anything but RF24. Require MY_RF24_IRQ_PIN to be set.

Note: Not supported on ESP8266, ESP32, STM32, nRF5 and sketches that use SoftSPI. See below issue for details https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/issues/1128

Definition at line 2336 of file MyConfig.h.

◆ MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE

#define MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE

Define this to change the incoming message buffer size from the default.

Require MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE to be set.

Definition at line 2337 of file MyConfig.h.
