8 Communications Between Two ROBO Interfaces through an RF Data Link

PC
radio module
Interface 1
The PC radio module receives its power supply through the USB and therefore only has to be connected to the computer.
Data exchange with the PC does not take place during the operation.
So that all participants are clearly defined and each participant knows if messages, which were sent, are meant for him,
each receives a call signal. This is given in ROBO Pro in the interface test under the Info tab (see the chapter 6 "Settings
in the Software"). The PC radio module, which is functioning as the satellite, always has the call signal 0. The call signal
of the PC radio module cannot be changed. In ROBO Pro, there are transmission and receiving building blocks, through
which the individual participants can send and receive messages.

9 Information about the Range

The range of the radio link is about 10 m for uninterrupted view. Hindrances such as walls or cabinets may impair the
range and the same applies to electrical devices, which interfere with the radio link.
If two interfaces are communicating through a PC radio module with each other, then the distance between both interfa-
ces may be extended to 2 x 10 m because the distance between one interface and the PC radio module may be up to
10 m.

Interface 2
Interface 1
Using the RF data link, two interfaces can communicate with each other,
on which one program for each is running in download operation. When
this is done, one PC radio module serves as the "exchange" or "satellite"
and organizes the communications between the two participants.
