nRF52840 Preview DK range test

[Jon]

Hi

We are very interested to test the wireless range using Bluetooth 5, 125 kbps long range mode.

If we purhase two nRF52840 Preview DK boards, is there a easy way to perform a range test with these boards? I mean, is there any precompiled examples for doing such test or any other simple way to do it?

Best Regards Jon

Hi Jon,

One of the highlights mentioned in the release notes of the 1. alpha release of nRF5 SDK 13.0.0 is:

Updated the BLE ATT_MTU Throughput Example (ble_app_att_mtu_throughput) to showcase a PHY data rate of 2 Ms/s and coded PHY for long-range transmission.

You can use this example on both boards to test the long-range feature.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Hi Jørgen

Thanks for quick reply, we will try it. Is there a similar example for 802.15.4 available or do you know when it will be ready?
