advertise nrf52840 unlimitedly.

[karthikeyan]

I am using the ble_app_uart example as my base on a 52840 with sdk 14.1. I have commented out BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE case in on_adv_evt() function and the BSP_EVENT_SLEEP case in bsp_event_handler() function. (BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE) with timeout set to 0.

LED 1 blinks indicating that it is advertising, and for a few minutes it is visible in nRF Connect. But, after approximately 3 minutes the device is no longer visible. However, the LED continues to blink as though the device is still advertising.

i know the problem is APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS is set to 180. so only it is advertising only for 3 minutes.

what can i do for advertising my nrf52840 unlimitedly?

Hi karthikeyan!

No need to comment out the BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE and BSP_EVENT_SLEEP.

Set the APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS to 0.

And remember to change the:

init.advdata.flags              = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE;

to:

init.advdata.flags              = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;

Best regards,
Joakim.

I'm glad that it works. Happy to help.
Regarding your beacon case, you already have one of our application engineers working on the case, and you are in good hands.
Best regards.
