Low-Power Multidevice Wireless Communication : Real-Time Data Between 12 Portable MCUs Within 10m [closed] was closed for off-topic with regards to product selection, but I was asking about what is involved in the design : which communication protocols to use (to likely be followed up with the types of parts which would be needed to perform such a communication).

I did state that I am looking at STM32 MCUs in case there is a known protocol which comes with the series standard, but my specific question was surrounding the type of communication to use with bidirectional communication, multiple nodes, and real-time responsiveness.

(When I referenced existing research performed, I included the past answers that I found on this site, which did refer to specific RF modulator parts or part series, but I don't believe that referencing answers from the past makes my general design question in bad faith, and those answers are all from 10+ years ago, so they are potentially obsolete).

Would removing evidence that past answers referred to specific parts make my question more on topic?

  • \$\begingroup\$ The question needs to address "locale" - that is, where in the world is it intended to be used? This must always be known for wireless projects, since there are just a few bands that are acceptable world-wide. 2.4GHz being one such rare exception. \$\endgroup\$

Do what the link says:

enter image description here

Describe the problem you want to solve, not ask for what to buy. Shopping questions are useless, they are usually only good to that person, SE's mission is to build a repository of good questions and answers and shopping questions don't fit here. Design questions do:

  • \$\begingroup\$ (I said cost cheap, but what I intended and perhaps what I should have said is non-proprietary / open-source wireless communication method.) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'm still unsure — are communications protocols considered products, even if I'm seeking non-proprietary means? \$\endgroup\$
