Stop and Start Bluetooth Advertising

[KrishNa]

Hello Everyone,

I need to turn off the bluetooth advertising on certain event/interrupt and start advertising again on another event/interrupt.

I have gone through the forums and found similar questions and probable answers to do the same, but none of them is working properly.

When i implement the solutions available on the forum as below

// If connected, disconnect
if (temp_conn_handle != BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID)
{
err_code = sd_ble_gap_disconnect(temp_conn_handle, BLE_HCI_REMOTE_USER_TERMINATED_CONNECTION);
if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS) return err_code;
}

At this stage the device is getting disconnected as expected.

// Stop advertising
err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_stop();
if (err_code != NRF_SUCCESS) return err_code;

But here the device doesn't stop advertising, it still keeps advertising

Can you please help me why it is not stopping advertisement after this statement.

Best,

Krishna

I have attached an example where beacon advertising is started and stopped by pressing button 1. Hopefully this will help you.

Hello Simon,

I tried running your example and everytime I run into this error - C:\Nordic\components\libraries\experimental_log\src\nrf_log_backend_rtt.c: No such file or directory.

I'm stuck here, please tell me how to proceed.

Thanks!

Try extracting the project into an SDK 15.0.0. If you are using SDK 15.2.0, there will be no folder experimental_log, and you will get an error.

Best regards,
