Hi Bernhard,
I'm a bit confused. Just some days ago @TobiasFredersdorf stated to work
on this. Did you synchronize each others?
Regarding the module initialization: Honestly I don't quite understand
your doubts. Yes it is a signed 16 bit integer in dBm. The quantization
to valid values is done inside the function. It makes things easier for
the netdev(2) abstraction.
You won't get an OpenLabs transceiver within days. By experience not
even within two weeks. If you want to cross-test drivers you could
a) get an Atmel samr21-xpro (same transceiver as OpenLaps on board) and
run RIOT
b) get a Phytec evaluation kit. There you can cross-test with kinetis
kw2x transceivers on either RIOT or Linux
c) use the MRF24J40 with the Linux driver on a RasPi
d) work together with @TobiasFredersdorf. He hast the hardware available.
Cheers
Peter

Hello everybody,
today I started to port the AT86RF2XX driver for the MRF24J40 radio module.
Hier I have 2 question:
1. At the module initialization I found the following comment:
/**
* @brief Set the transmission power of the given device [in dBm]
*
* If the device does not support the exact dBm value given, it will
set a value
* as close as possible to the given value. If the given value is
larger or
* lower then the maximal or minimal possible value, the min or max
value is
* set, respectively.
*
* @param[in] dev device to write to
* @param[in] txpower transmission power in dBm
*/
void at86rf2xx_set_txpower(at86rf2xx_t *dev, int16_t txpower);
How should the txpower be coded? A int16 value in dBm ??? I don't
understand this.
The Atmel AT86RF231 has a tx-power range from -17dBm to +3dBm and the
MRF24J40
has a range from -30 to 0dBm. How fits this together with that comment
above?
2. From where could I get as fast as possible some OpenLabs 802.15.4
modules (delivery should be in 2-3 days, prefered in Germany)? At the
store of OpenLabs there is mentioned a
delivery time from about 2 weeks....this is to long for my purpose.
Best regards
Bernhard
