Can I change the PHY (2Mbps, 1Mbps, Coded) using the pc-ble-driver-py driver?

Hi,

pc-ble-driver-py only supports SoftDevice API versions 2 and 5, whose hex files are included with pc-ble-driver-py. Trying to use it with other SoftDevices is not expected to work, because the serialization API is different for other SoftDevices. The error messages that you see are expected when trying to use an unsupported SoftDevice API.

Terje

Hi,

Any update on CODED PHY in pc-ble-driver-py?

We tried using the V6 hex file from main pc-ble-driver folder, but got an exception during initialization on:

Hi,

Unfortunately no. The latest stable version of pc-ble-driver is version 2.3.2. It uses SoftDevice API version 3, which does not support coded PHY. There will be an SoftDevice API v6 release some time in the future, though.
