Can you specifically set the amount of packets per interval?

Hi!

I have an implementation running with a peripheral sending notifications to a central at 27.5 ms. They are both configured with HIGH BW. Sending of notifications is activated by pressing a button. I now see that when the button is pressed, the peripheral is able to put 7 packets into the buffer (and an 8th one overflowing it) in the first interval, but then it changes to 6 packets (+ a 7th that overflows the buffer) for the following intervals.

I actually want be able to achieve 6 packets per interval, for each interval, so also for the first one. So my question is, how is this possible?

The figure below illustrates once more the beginning of notification sending and thus the transitions from 7 to 6. Channel 2 is the radio. Channel 0 indicates putting a packet in the TX buffer and is thus first 8 times and then always 7 times. Channel 1 is I2C measurements of an accelerometer in between.

Kind regards

I believe it actually transports 6 packets over the radio, note that Tx buffers inside SD aren't necessarily linked to number of packets transported over radio link. Do you have some confidence by looking into radio analyzer/sniffer trace that different numbers are going through the link in each interval? otherwise if you push 7 packets to the stack and then 6 of them are "cleaned" so you can push 6 more it indicates that 6 are going over the radio... can you make some GPIO counter on TX_COMPLETED event if their count corresponds to the numbers?

Well, I thought that was an issue at the time but I'll make simple count to six case and see if I get the problem again. I'll let you know what I get tomorrow, right now I need to finish some other work :) Thanks already for your time so far!
