How to test coded_phy

[BH]

Hi

I have successfully(?) altered my application from using BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS to BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED. But how can I test it?

Prior to the modifications I tested the application using nRF Connect. It allows me to connect, write to characteristics etc. But what tools/setup do you recommend for a similar functionality when using BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED. I originally wanted to use serialization with python, but as I understand, the pc-ble-driver doesn't support coded phy yet (?). Any suggestions?

Hi Bård,

Hi Martin

I’ve seen that post. Excellent! I actually did a similar test a year ago with two pdk’s. The range was meassured to 550m. But, the question is not about range. It’s about functionality.

I want a tool to connect to my long range device. To control it and read back sensor data. Serialisation with python would be perfect.

If no other solution exist, I will use my sensor (or a development kit) as a frontend. But then I have to write a custom firmware.
