 We have a product that uses a nRF5x Soc. Is acts as both a central and peripheral. The central part connects to a pulseoxymeter, and the peripheral part allows an app to connect. Works fine. 
 But now we are creating some new test equipment, that</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2025 14:52:01 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/120244/is-it-possible-to-have-two-connections-between-two-devices-one-in-each-direction" /><item><title>RE: Is it possible to have two connections between two devices?

&lt;p&gt;Great to hear that your product is working fine acting as a Central and a Peripheral at the same time! Bluetooth is indeed powerful and flexible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For two nodes to have two connections with eachother, is a very strange use case. Therefore, as it looks like when I look at the source code, Zephyr does not allow you to do that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could perhaps spend time commenting out the relevant check in `conn_le_create_common_checks` in conn.c and see how far it gets you. But I think that is waste of time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it is a much better idea to just use two development kits, one acting as a pulseoxymeter and another acting as an app. Connect these two to the same computer and write some application in Python or whatever so that you can coordinate the testing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
