- adunk 9y agoFor this level of time synchronization it is enough to send a few extra bytes with synchronization information in each packet. If you'd be down at microsecond-level synchronization, you probably need to do temperature compensation - particularly in outdoor deployments where there can be a 40 C / 100 F difference between two nodes on a sunny winter day.
- trelliscoded 9y agoYeah it's just a regular XO. There's some calibration data they stick in a special flash area at the factory that the radio firmware uses to handle temperature compensation for the chip's internal digital oscillator. I also believe you can run it in a XO-less mode with some caveats.
