Hello,
Our application is to create BLE mesh network with multiple nodes, each node is having sensor. Each node will send sensor value and timestamp over the mesh network and there is a mobile application connected with one destination node which is collecting all information for further analysis. For timestamp, it is required to synchronized the time value in milliseconds in all the mesh nodes. So all nodes are having same timer value.
nRF Connect SDK version: v2.2.0
Hardware: nRF52840-DK Evaluation board
For BLE mesh, we are taking reference of ble_peripheral_lbs_coex example (available in samples\bluetooth\mesh\). It is working fine with multiple nodes in standalone.
To synchronize the time, we are using Timesync example same as mentioned in one of the post ( Wireless timer synchronization among nRF5 devices ). It is working fine with multiple nodes in standalone.
Now, as per our requirement we need both as single application so we integrate time sync code into BLE mesh example code and compiled successfully. After integration, we are observing MPSL_TIMESLOT_SIGNAL_BLOCKED message continuously on serial terminal and time synchronization is not working. During this, mesh packet is able to transmit and receive on the mesh nodes.
We increased BLE mesh scan interval from 30 ms to 2000 ms. After this, Timesync is started working but BLE mesh stopped working.
Is there any way to work both functionalities(BLE mesh and Timesync) simultaneously? or is there any other way to synchronize the time(in milliseconds) on all the nodes over mesh?
It would be highly appreciated if we could get some response.
Thanks !!!
