| - | * If an RSSI is detected, but no packet was transmitted by the sender. In that case your program will hang. This happens, if the receiver recognizes other sources of some spikes of the RSSI. What can you do, to avoid such situations ? | + | * If an RSSI is detected, but no packet was transmitted by the sender, your program will "hang". This happens, if the receiver recognizes other sources of some spikes of the RSSI. In that case, you only can restart your progam. |
