Addresses about rf24network HOT 6 CLOSED

Does this http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Network/Tuning.html help?

I added an image showing the topology with some examples of how data is transmitted. The source file can be downloaded here and edited further via GIMP

Addresses are arranged in groups of 5, in a Tree Topology
Master: 00
Children of Master: 01,02,03,04,05
Children of Children of Master: 11,21,31,41,51 - 12,22,32,42,52 - 13,23,33,43,53 - 14,24,34,44,54 - 15,25,35,45,55
... and so on

Nodes can only communicate directly with their direct parent and children nodes. In order to communicate with other nodes, their parent or child nodes will pass the traffic up or down to their parent or child nodes.

Seems hard to explain in words, so hopefully the image I posted shows the connections, etc. better than I can explain them.

Ok, thanks for the example, it helped a lot!
Then, I have to ask another thing: is it possible to not have this type of hierarchy and go for a direct connection from - for example - node 54 directly to node 00?
Because for the use that I have, it would be very helpful as I don't want to use relays and all the nodes are in movement so they might not be able to reach their parent

from rf24network.

Not really, each radio can only listen to 6 addresses at a time, so if you
need more than 5 sensors/nodes you need some to also act as relay nodes.
This could be worked around via various methods, but is obviously much more
complex in most cases. Multicasting would probably be simplest topology
wise.

And (last question) is it possible to have multiple nodes with the same address? In this way I could have multiple relays in different parts of the location, so that if one loses signal, there is another that can retrieve the signal to the master/childs

from rf24network.

Sure, but only one radio could be fully active. You could communicate
a heartbeat signal or similar over a wire I guess or possibly use
listening pipes with ack disabled.

As an afterthought, I haven't tested that enough to give a proper answer yet, but it might be possible depending on range, etc. Closing this, [email protected] for off-topic questions etc.
