4.3.1.5 Bluetooth Low Energy Adaptivity Frequency Hopping (AFH) Packet Transmission

Perform the following steps for the demonstration of the Bluetooth Low Energy Adaptivity Frequency Hopping (AFH) packet transmission:
  1. Set up the connection between the PIC32-BZ6 Curiosity Board and PC. For more details, refer to Getting Started with MCHPRT3.
  2. In the RF BT tab, perform the following steps:
    1. From the “RF mode” drop-down list, select AFH Mode.
    2. From the “Payload” drop-down list, select PRBS9 (default value).
    3. From the “PHY” drop-down list, select the Data Rate (1M, 2M, S = 2 and S = 8), for example, select PHY 1M.
    4. From the “RF mode” drop-down list, select the Output Power, for example, select 11 dB.
    5. From the “Packet Length” drop-down list, select the Packet Length (0-255), for example, 255 (default value).
  3. Click START to transmit the Bluetooth Low Energy packet with adaptivity frequency hopping.
