I would like to set up a mesh network of Arduinos with the following features/capabilities:

  • No master node
  • Arduinos capable of bootloading other Arduinos through RFs
  • Capable of communicating over TCP/IP
  • More than 255 possible network addresses

Is this possible, or infeasible? If it is, what are some software packages that meet these requirements. I was looking at RF24Gateway, RF24Mesh, RF24Network, etc., but as far as I can tell these require having a master node, and they only support 255 IP addresses. Is this correct? I was also looking at an Optiboot clone that works with RF24 modules here but it seems like it requires the other Arduino to be connected to a USB.

Any suggestions/clarifications are appreciated. Thanks!

  • How far have you come in reading about what functionality the NRF24L01 can support (such as addressing, network topology, etc)? – Mikael Patel Apr 13 '18 at 6:21
  • You always can make your own 'protocol' with nRF24L01, you don't have to use the Master/Slave protocol which is built in. These do not work with IP addresses, but they use addressing, not sure how many. – Michel Keijzers Apr 13 '18 at 10:53
