Hello,
I have been testing the eZ430-Chronos-433 and out of the box I only get about 3m range. I'm running a feasibility study on a project where I intend to take the module out of the watch and place it in a plastic case for testing. It will be in an RF 'harsh' environment so I want to be able to get the best range possible.
Is the code on the Chronos out of box set to maximum transmit and receive power? I'm not concerned about battery life for this application. Can I increase the power through code?
Also, since I will be in a larger enclosure I will have the opportunity to add a better antenna. Are there any recommendations on an antenna that I could rework on to the board?
Thanks
Craig
