Where is the high-level documentation for the Connection Parameters Module?

[Rob Spanton]

Many of the example applications from Nordic use the "Connection Parameters Module" from the BLE SDK. There appears to be some documentation of the API in the "Connection Parameters Negotiation" section of the Nordic Infocenter, but I can't find any high-level documentation telling me what this module is for, when it should be used, how it should be used, how it should be initialised around other modules etc. Where is this documentation?

Hi,

Please refer to this answer.

Hi Øyvind,

Thanks for the link, but it seems that the answer you've linked to just describes what connection parameters are, rather than what the connections parameter module is and what it does etc.

Thanks,

Rob

It is a module that negotiates a change in connection parameters between two units. Essentially the function is a wrapper to the SoftDevice call sd_ble_gap_conn_param_update.

I agree that a higher level discussion would be nice. For example "Use this module if you want your peripheral to negotiate connection parameters with a central. If you don't need negotiation, you can just use ??? but any connection is as determined solely by the central, but a connection will still work and there are no other events from the SD you need to handle. If you do use the Connection Parameter modules, it depends on app_timer." I don't know if the quote is true, I am just outlining the nature of a high level discussion: what the module gives you, what uses cases (peripheral or central), what are alternatives, what are dependencies.
