Hi, just add advertising start function call on idle event. See here below:

/* Function for handling advertising events. This function will be called for advertising events which are passed to the application */ static void on_adv_evt(ble_adv_evt_t ble_adv_evt) { ret_code_t err_code;

switch (ble_adv_evt)
{
    case BLE_ADV_EVT_FAST:
	{
    	/* do nothing */
        break;
	}
    case BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE:
	{
		/* start advertising again */
		err_code = ble_advertising_start(BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
        break;
	}
    default:
        break;
}

}

Feel free to have a look at my code repo on github for a full application example:

i can't understand solution. i want to make it in sleep mode and then advertise again

My proposed solution allows you to start again advertising after 10 s so the device will never stop to advertise. It doesn't go in sleep mode. Indeed as far as I know the device can not go in sleep mode and advertise at the same time.
