nRF51822 stop advertising to save power

Hi currently I am handling a project in which I used nRF51822. I am using SDK 11 and softdevice SD130.

    So you need to do a profile of the whole system's power consumption - then you'll see how much is due to advertising and, thus, whether that's a significant contribution.

    Note that you can reduce power consumption due to advertising by reducing the Advertising Interval - at the cost of "connectability" ...
