Set data rate with nRF Connect for Desktop

[Dayrene]

Hi, I am using the nRF52840 dongle + nRF Connect for Desktop App, and I would like to configure the data rate for packet advertising. Is this possible? Which one is set by default? Thank you very much in advance!

Hi

What do you mean by "data rate for packet advertising" exactly? The only thing affecting the data rate of advertising devices will be the advertising parameters (chiefly the advertising interval, setting how often the advertisement will be transmitted). You should get parameters to do so by going into the settings on nRF Connect for Desktop -> Bluetooth Low Energy -> Advertiser, and press the little "settings cog wheel" in the application to change the advertising parameters of your device.

Best regards,

Hi Simon

Thank you very much for your reply. By data rate, I mean that the nRF5284 can work with different configuration for the PHY layer, and each of them has different data rates: 

- 1M PHY: Standard BLE data rate of 1 Mbps.
- 2M PHY: Higher data rate of 2 Mbps (available in BLE 5.0).
- Coded PHY: Lower data rates for extended range (500 kbps or 125 kbps).

I want to do my tests (advertising, sending data, etc.), using the lowest data rate of 125 kbps. What I was wondering is how can I configure this for the nRF52840 dongle using the nRF Connect for Desktop App.

Thanks.

Best regards,
