https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/25648/how-to-configure-advertising-time-10-secs-on-5-secs-off-with-rtcHello, I am using sdk12.2.2 and pca10040. I want that my beacon advertises continuously for 10 sec and then it stops advertising for 5 secs. Do I need to use rtc for this? Also later I want that customer should be able to configure this 5 10sec on timingsen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 03 Oct 2017 08:22:32 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/101056?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 03 Oct 2017 08:22:32 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d1c4374a-7f62-4a2e-8b1b-8d66e03f31e6shibshab<p>If you use the <code>ble_advertising.c</code> component, you can use the <code>ble_adv_fast_timeout</code> or <code>ble_adv_slow_timeout</code> in the <code>ble_adv_modes_config_t</code> type for configuring how long the device should advertise every time you invoke <code>ble_adv_start</code>.</p> <p>There are similar arguments to be used if you choose to use <code>sd_ble_gap_adv_start</code> directly.</p> <p>Next you could use <code>app_timer.c</code> to start a timer for a 5 second timer which will let you know when to call <code>sd_ble_gap_adv_start</code> again.</p> <p>As for nrf connect support, you could extend it with a new app (nrf connect is now a framework which supports different apps inside of it) in which you write to a &quot;configure&quot; characteristic of the device, changing the 5 second value to something else.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
