Communication speed ble serial

[Leon Schmetz]

I have create software for the nrf51822 (slave) that has

I also create a PC application using the master emulator api that implements the master

Data from the master to the slave are sent via the transmit pipe and sent out over the serial interface Data from the slave received over the serial line are copied to the attribute and the master is notified

This setup works, not flawless yet, but communication is very slow.

Is there a better way to create a ble <-> serial gateway? The slave must of course advertise itself to make it discoverable to the master. The master will be communicating with possible hundreds of units sequentially.

Thank you

You should take a look at this question for information on how to calculate throughput for a BLE link.

Be aware that the current Master Emulator (and S120) will only do one packet per connection interval, and this will limit throughput quite a bit.
