Radio Test app SDK 15.2 is over complicated and top heavy

[cp52]

Hi some feed back for you.

Nordic-nrf5-SDK\examples\peripheral\radio_test

Your old radio test code used to be very simple. 

We have a need to integrate in to our program however the current radio example in 15.2 contains a lot of code that we do not need! 

The old interface used to be a very simple uart connection with a menu driven from the radio_test_main. This was great and slim lined.

The new implementation requires app_uart , cli and all modules that are required by them. It is too over engineered and the code is actually harder to read!

Many thanks

Hi,

 

Thank you for the feedback! We are always trying to improve our examples and sources.

I've forwarded your feedback to the SDK team.

The radio_test.c/h files are still standalone, so these can be wrapped around a more simplistic example or directly into your existing application if required.

Kind regards,

Håkon

You can improve also a documentation!
infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

For example which are the argument of commands.

data_rate

<sub_cmd>

An explanation of the command "data_rate" in not enought if you don't know what are the "sub_cmd".
All that I tryed until now gave me an answer of "uknown argument"

cp52 can you help me, please?

Hi,

 

In the CLI terminal, you can type "data_rate" then the tab button a couple of times to see the arguments available. There's auto-completion in the cli interface, so you can also type "data_rate ble" then TAB to see the options there as well.

Kind regards,

Håkon
