NODE ID 255 for broadcasting

[jorgmuskens]

Hi Felix,
I was wondering if it is possible to manually create a node with id 255? So i can handle broadcast casting from that page.
As nodes now are automatic created when incoming data is received. Is it as simple as program a node with the id 255?
I did not test this yet as i don't know what kind of impact this has.
Thanks
Jorg

Jorg,
Broadcast means everybody. A node with ID 255 makes little or no sense. It cannot receive or send ACKs, because of the way ID 255 is handled in the library, look for yourself, scan for "RF69_BROADCAST_ADDR".
Generally, without more major complications, it only makes sense to send to address 255.
