Nordic’s nRF 2.4GHz transceivers come with a built in ShockBurst transmission mode. This app note describes how to implement it using the nRFL01 and nRFLU1 ICs.
ShockBurst is a special transmission mode built into nRF devices. It allows microcontrollers to send and receive raw data, while the nRF chips handle the transmission and reception internally. This includes reception acknowledgment and automatic retransmission if data is lost or corrupted. Lower power consumption is achieved by transmitting data in short bursts.
This app note is written for users of their development systems. It does however provide lots of useful information that make this application easily portable to other devices.
