Interface Timeout (EEPROM address 0x58), in conjunction with RF Packet Size (EEPROM address 0x5B), determines
when a buffer of data will be sent out over the RF as a complete RF packet, based on whichever condition occurs first.
Interface Timeout – Interface Timeout specifies a maximum byte gap between consecutive bytes. When that byte gap
is exceeded, the bytes in the transmit buffer are sent out over the RF as a complete packet. Interface Timeout is
adjustable in 0.5ms increments and has a tolerance of ±0.5ms.
minimum of 2. The default value for Interface Timeout is 0x04 (2ms) and should be adjusted accordingly when
changing the transceiver baud rate.
RF Packet Size – When the number of bytes in the transceiver transmit buffer equals RF Packet Size, those bytes are
sent out as a complete RF packet. It is much more efficient to send a few large packets rather than several short
packets as every packet the transceiver sends over the RF contains extra header bytes which are not included in the
RF Packet Size. RF packet size can be set to a maximum of 0x50 (80 bytes) and must be set to a minimum of 0x06 in
order to send the Enter AT Command mode command. To change the RF packet size from the default value, Auto
Config must be disabled and the appropriate Auto Config parameters must be changed.
Baud Rate
1. 57,600 is the default baud rate
2. 0x00 will yield a stop bit of 421 uS. The stop bit at 1200 baud should actually be 833 uS.
