Can i Advertise a specific pattern over air using nrf51422 ?

[Bassam Sharkawy]

Is there any way that can allow the user to advertise a sine wave for example over a specific channel or over the three Radio channels ? I am using S130 and Nordic SDK 8.1

Hi,

This depends on what you need. What are your requirements?

If you use advertising packets to broadcast data then you will have no guaranteed reception. If you need to share a continuous data series it would be better to connect, so that you can transfer full data series and guarantee that everything is transferred.

On the other hand, if all data is sent on all advertising channels, and the scanner scans only one advertising channel and at 100% of the time, then you should receive most of the data. (But still, you must always expect to lose some of the advertising packets.) You could of course send the same data points multiple times. This would reduce the chance of packet loss, but not eliminate it completely.
