Hey,
I took the code example for nRF Distance Measurement with Bluetooth LE discovery, and updated the application to start or stop the radio based on a specific condition. I have a button for this and I am using callback. I found that disabling the BLE radio is not supported (link). I am attempting to halt the scanning and advertising processes. However, this is not working as expected.
I invoke this function to deactivate both advertising and scanning.
void stop_ble_system(void){
int err;
ble_working = 0;
LOG_INF("BLE Stopping\n");
k_sleep(K_USEC(50));
err = bt_scan_stop();
if (err) {
LOG_INF("bt_scan_stop failed (err %d)\n", err);
return;
}
err = bt_le_ext_adv_stop(adv);
if (err) {
printk("Failed to stop extended advertising (err %d)\n", err);
return;
}
dk_set_led(DK_LED1, (ble_working));
}
And turn it on with this function:
void start_ble_system(void){
int err;
ble_working = 1;
dk_set_led(DK_LED1, (ble_working));
err = bt_enable(NULL);
struct bt_le_ext_adv_start_param ext_adv_start_param = {0};
if (err) {
LOG_INF("Bluetooth init failed (err %d)\n", err);
return ;
}
err = bt_le_ext_adv_create(adv_param, &adv_cb, &adv);
if (err) {
printk("Failed to create advertising set (err %d)\n", err);
return;
}
err = bt_le_ext_adv_set_data(adv, ad, ARRAY_SIZE(ad), sd, ARRAY_SIZE(sd));
if (err) {
printk("Failed setting adv data (err %d)\n", err);
return;
}
err = bt_le_ext_adv_start(adv, &ext_adv_start_param);
if (err) {
printk("Failed to start extended advertising (err %d)\n", err);
return;
}
err = scan_start();
if (err) {
printk("Failed to start scanning (err %d)\n", err);
}
}
So, essentially, ranging runs alongside the scanner and advertising processes. During this procedure, I am attempting to deactivate both. I'm uncertain if this is the correct approach.
While ranging, when I disable advertising and scanning, the application doesn't crash. However, the application crashes when I attempt to restart it. I noticed this because the LED is not blinking (I have set it to blink at 1 Hz). Do I need to deactivate scanning and advertising in a different order or do I need to call an additional function?
Here is the console output:
I have searched the forum but no Q&A topic to help me.
Thanks for the help!!!
