Capture Reception Time

 

Capture Reception Time

Once you have a mote sending advertisements every second (see Capture Reception Time), the next step is to receive those advertisement on a different mote, and correctly timestamp the arrival time.

Timestamping consists in recording the current counter value when the SFD of the packet is received (see Capture Reception Time).

This step is successful if you capture values. The goal is not (yet) to synchronize, but simply to make sure that your timer captures the time at which the mote receives the start-of-frame event.
