Hello,
I used a the ble_app_template example to set up advertisements on the PCA10040 board and on our custom board. Both boards function and have good signal strength. However, the number of advertising packets received from the custom board are significantly less (5x less) than what are received from the dev board. I have looked at the power lines on both boards and they are clean. The custom board had a wrongly placed 32MHz crystal which has been reworked. I am using a 32.768khz crystal as well.
What should I try next? Any thoughts on why I am getting two different behaviors for the same code on the custom board and the dev board?
