I did the distance test outdoor. The temperature is -10 celsius. I applied the setting NRF.setTxPower(4)
1) Positioned on a branch of a tree with direct visibility, the PUCK can be controlled from 35 meters.
2) Positioned on the bottom side of a bench, which simulates most my use-case, the PUCK can be controlled from 12 meters.
As point 1 is satisfactory as range, but point 2 is my use-case and not satisfactory as range, do you think as a good approach to have a puck used just gathering the data from 2) and broadcast it to another puck, etc. till the final location is reached, i.e. data is read from the desired source ?
