Hi,
I am currently testing the Thread Channel Monitor but it seems not to work correctly.
Setup:
- -nRF52840 DK V2.0.1
- nRF Connect SDK v2.4.0
I am using the following sample: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/openthread/cli/README.html
in prj.conf I added the following lines:
- CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_CHANNEL_MANAGER=y
- CONFIG_OPENTHREAD_CHANNEL_MONITOR=y
This is the output I get:

It is unlikely that all channels are occupied..
Am I doing something wrong or is the channel monitor not working properly in the nrf connect sdk?
Thanks in Advance,
Visu
