How to set sending power of NRF52810 with SDK15.0

[liu]

Hi,

I want to set sending power(+4dBm) of NRF52810/NRF52832 with SDK 15.0.

Now,i  find i should use  the order of sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(uint8_t role, uint16_t handle, int8_t tx_power));

But , i donn't the meaning of second parameter.

List as follows by SDK15.0:

* @param[in]     handle                     The handle parameter is interpreted depending on role:
* - If role is @ref BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_CONN, this value is the specific connection handle.
* - If role is @ref BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV, the advertising set identified with the advertising handle,
* will use the specified transmit power, and include it in the advertising packet headers if
* @ref ble_gap_adv_properties_t::include_tx_power set.
* - For all other roles handle is ignored.

Now,  i will make a beacon and  i set it as sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV,0,4);

It is right?

If the role is BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_CONN, how to set the second parameter.

Now,

I think i have found the reason why i failed.

advertising_init();
uint8_t err_adv=sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV,m_adv_handle,+4); //At this place;
advertising_start();

Yes,

err_adv=sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV,m_adv_handle,+4); //At this place;

this command must at the back of advertising_init();

and the return data is 0 (NRF_SUCCESS);

But i donn't know why sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set() must be behind of  advertising_init(),because it is random in SDK8.1(s110) of NRF51822.

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply. It seems like you figured it out, but yes, it has to be called after advertising_init(), because it needs to know the advertising handle. This is new, as the Advertising handle came in SDK15, which is why it wasn't required before.

 

Best regards,

I'm trying to do the same thing for a nRF52810 using SD 112 v6.0.0.  Can you provide details in how to set m_adv_handle?  I'm confused why this is uint16_t as it seems like it should be an address for the advertising data structure.  How did you define this?

Thanks,  Max

Hello Max,

 

I am not quite sure I follow. The m_adv_handle is set the same way for the s112 on the nRF51810 as for the s132 on the nRF52832. The m_adv_handle is an uint16_t, and not uint8_t.

 

The advertising handle, m_adv_handle is set in the sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure(&m_adv_handle, &m_adv_data, &m_adv_params), which is usually called in advertising_init() in most of our examples in the SDK.

 

Do you get any issues while setting this?

 

Best regards,

Edvin
