Exercise: Scanning faster

In this lesson, we are finishing the receiver. The maximum number of channels that could be scanned is limited. Scanning could only be successful, if the actions that are required to be done does not exceed the bit rate of the preamble. E.g Times, that hit to be taken into account are:

• the time needed to switch from idle state to receive state and vice versa (e.g. 50,
• the time to measure the RSSI,
• the time to read or write the registers of CC1200,
• the time to perform a strobe command,
• and for sure the processing time of the Beaglebone Black.
