How to increase Data Rate

[Ferhat B]

Hi

We use ble_app_uart_pca10040 app. We have our own board has microcontroller and send data over uart to ble module (bmd350) There is Nrf52832. I want to send 32byte pack and 500pack in sec. Im very far to achive that.

Hi,

Is it the BLE data rate you want to increase? What are you connecting against? A smartphone?

You can lower the connection interval by changing the MIN_CONN_INTERVAL and MAX_CONN_INTERVAL values. Try setting it to e.g :

#define MIN_CONN_INTERVAL               MSEC_TO_UNITS(7.5, UNIT_1_25_MS) 
#define MAX_CONN_INTERVAL               MSEC_TO_UNITS(20, UNIT_1_25_MS) 

There are also several other things you can do to increase the data rate. Such as increasing the ATT MTU size, enable Data length extension (DLE) and enable Connection event length extension.

Hi Sigurd, do you have any comment ?
