Recommandation to quickly test long range and RSSI with nRF52840

HI,

I got 2 nRF52840 dev kits and I'm interested in testing the long range layer (LE coded PHY ) between the 2 modules, also scan for the second module RSSI value.

I was thinking if you can recommend some examples that I can mix together to achieve this ?

any advice is very welcome

Regards Chaabane

  • Note that you need to use SoftDevice S140 version 6.0.0-6.alpha for maximum range. This version implements a range delay(packet time of flight compensation) corresponding to a distance of 5 km when using LE Coded PHY. You can download this version from here. The example John DeWitt mentioned(ble_app_att_mtu_throughput) is the best for testing the range. You can find a patch in the S140 version 6.0.0-6.alpha zip for the ble_app_att_mtu_throughput example, making it compatible with the S140 version 6.0.0-6.alpha.
