nRF8001 to wakeup uProcessor

[Daniel]

Hi, I'm using the "ble_uart_project_template" I would like to put the "host" processor into a deep sleep mode to save power while the nRF8001 is still active.

Is there a way I can use the nRF8001 to be advertising itself (for connection) while i put the main uP into sleep so that when a device connects to the nRF8001 it sets a pin high/low to wake the uP.

I have had problems with the nRF8001. It stops broadcasting when I put the uP to sleep (pin-states not changed by sleep mode)

Hi Daniel,

You can connect the RTS pin, (P0.6 if i'm not mistaken) to a interrupt pin on your host controller.

Hope this helps, Pål
