RE: Low level Bluetooth packet Output

I went ahead and started converting the solar sensor radio example into a simple zephyr workspace.

After powering it up and making an attempt to get it to work, it showed up on the nRF Connect phone app without issue.
That is how I knew it COULD be done.

Then I went and looked at my other mess of code and realized I was off by an order of magnitude on sending rate. Changed it and my original data showed up on nRF Connect.

So yes, you can send a packet of advertising data through the radio without any other BLE library stuff (except all the nice defines for the values). It isn't smart. It isn't compliant.
This adventure gave me some clear insight on the operation of the Nordic RADIO peripheral. I am not sure, but it is probably all moot after the release of the nRF54.

I put the stuff I cobbled together in the original post. Might be fun for someone learning stuff about the radio. only works on the nrf52840-dk
