#150423 - re:collision
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I use a 0-255 number random generator, the delay of 1 millisecond gets multiplied by the number that the random generator, so the theoretical chances of a collision are 1 out of 255 or 0.39% of the time. In actuality, the chances of a collision are much smaller because of the randomness of users sending messages at the same time. Of course the busier the RS-485 network gets the more likely a collision will occur.
