How to set Transmit Power of my Advertisement Packet in nRF Connect SDK 2.5.1

Hello,

I want to set the transmitting power of the advertising packet. How can I set the TX power?

I am using nRF Connect SDK 2.5.1 in Visual Studio Code.

Hi

I would suspect that the DCDC is not enabled. Can you share your custom board files(for vscode) and your config files?

Hello,

I have looked into the adv.evt in the PPK current consumption by zooming in and found three peaks. But all the peaks are above the value mentioned in the datasheet even excluding the peak at the start.

So is there anything I can do to reduce or do you think the PPK is giving the spikes in current consumption?

TIA

The stable current is only high. So I presume DC/DC mode is not activated. So am I missing anything in enabling the DCDC mode?

Hi

I had a chat with a coworker and showed him the plots. Since your config looks fine, the slope of the current draw may indicate that the matching network/antenna tuning need optimizing.

Thank you Runsiv.

I will check the assembly and then tune the matching network for antenna.

Sounds good

It might also be an idea to create a new case where you ask for a hardware review. Then one of our HW engineers will take a look at your design. 

You can make a new private ticket and request a review of your board. Please upload both your schematic and layout in form of gerber files in the private case. I would also add that you see issues with the current

I have created a new case with ID 328979. Attached my PCB and Schematic files.

Good

I see Ketil has been assigned to the case. Let's wait and see what his feedback is. You could also link the current plots to him
