Effect on Current Consumption on adding more data in advertising packet

[soumil]

Hi,

We can utilize the 31 bytes of advertising packet as well as 31 bytes of scan response packet which in total makes it 62 bytes of advertising data. What is the effect of using all the 62 bytes on the current consumed by the BLE device when in advertising mode versus not using scan response data packet. Does it make a lot of difference or just a minor difference?

Yes, but It will be slightly higher on the nRF51. It also depends on the advertising interval, at a 100ms interval, you will see roughly 1.5 uA extra for each byte.
