24 hours and its back on the table. I woke up this morning and the first thing that entered my mind was I wonder if the nRF52832 can switch backwards and forwards between RF proprietary and BLE because even though the chip can do both it cannot do both simultaneously.
I asked Grok and got the answer I wanted. Yes I can switch backwards and forward between RF as much as I like and for any interval I like in fact up to 99.99%.
So it is possible to control a Scorpius car and supply car telemetry to the SmartRace app as well as talk to Lane Brains on channel 26 (RF).
So now Carrera users can get all of the Scorpius telemetry.
Switching time is just a millisecond if that so car control will not be affected.
The limitations are not yet known but definitely we can get some car telemetry to the app.
We could dedicate 98 or 99% of the time to RF car control and then switch to BLE for the other 1 or 2%.
This opens up a whole new kit of possibilities and from a developers point of view is very exciting.
As we already have the telemetry it’s probably 2 days work plus debugging to complete it.
It just keeps on getting better.
