Is a Example RSSI measurement application existing for nRF52 DK?

[Ronny Vrijelinck]

To have a reference receiver to evaluate a new antenna design i would like to use the nRF52 development kit. Therefore i am looking for a example application that can be used to measure the RSSI

Hi,

You can use Master Control Panel along with PCA10031 and PCA10028 or an android app. This excerpt from the infocenter has more information.

Master Control Panel: The Master Control Panel is a software tool that is used to act as a Bluetooth low energy peer device.

Master Control Panel: (64-bit version) (32-bit version) The Master Control Panel is a software tool that is used with the nRF51 Dongle (PCA10031) to act as a Bluetooth low energy peer device. You can test your application’s wireless connection with this tool. The Master Control Panel supports programming of SEGGER J-Link based nRF52 devices. For more information, see the help files in the Master Control Panel.

nRF Master Control Panel for Android 4.3 or later: nRF Master Control Panel for Android 4.3 or later is a powerful generic tool that allows you to scan and explore your Bluetooth Smart devices and communicate with them on an Android phone. MCP supports a number of Bluetooth SIG adopted profiles together with the Device Firmware Update (DFU) profile from Nordic Semiconductor.

Note that the RSSI values you will measure are not guaranteed to be correct, as the accuracy of the measurement equipment is not very high. However they should prove sufficient for range testing.

Best regards,

Øyvind
