nRF51822 / S110 - Simultaneously Peripheral and Broadcaster?

[Daniel]

Hi,

Is nRF51822 / S110 capable of simultaneously being in peripheral (connected slave) and broadcaster (broadcasting non-connectable ads) mode? The datasheet says both roles are supported, however is not specific enough about the possibility to function simultaneously.

If not - do you have an idea if S120 would support combination roles (i.e. peripheral+broadcaster simultaneously)?

Thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I have a similar issue myself in that our device uses broadcast but also needs to be "connectable" on an ad-hoc basis.

Luckily, we can get around the issue by controlling when and how long the connection from the smart device happens for. And luckily, not all of our customers require this particular function.

It would be nice to see the dual role support in the S110.
