I think this is well explained here. If not, I think you should add a new question.

Hi Petter,

How do we find out if the device is actually advertising or not? I am currently facing a situation where where sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() is returning NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE for me.

Thanks, Sam

Firstly, are you actually advertising when you call sd_ble_gap_adv_stop()? If not, I believe it will return NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE and APP_ERROR_CHECK() will cause a reset.

Secondly, I believe this is because when the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event is sent to ble_advertising_on_ble_evt() ble_advertising_start() will be called.

This event will come when the link is actually disconnected, not when you call sd_ble_gap_disconnect().

So you can either modify the advertising library, or maybe handle it in ble_evt_dispatch().

I think when you connect , the ADV already stopped and will not start again until you excute the function to srat adv.

So i guess , you problem is the timer you manage..When you connect , stop the timer reponsible of the lunching ADV and then check if you have the same problem,, if not, that means it comes from the timer management
