 I’m developing a BLE remote control device (S132 softdevice &amp;amp;&amp;amp; SDK 15.2.0) . It works with NRF52832 programmed as a central BLE (I started from ble_app_blinky (central) example). My problem is the high consumption of the device: While the device</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2018 15:24:17 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/41664/power-consumption-ble-central" /><item><title>RE: Power consumption BLE Central</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/162129?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2018 15:24:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:166f13ea-4581-4333-9aac-34d57faced66</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes these consumptions are high, but expected. You can try increasing the connection interval so that the radio doesn&amp;#39;t use as much time scanning. For example set&amp;nbsp;NRF_BLE_SCAN_MAX_CONNECTION_INTERVAL&amp;nbsp; and NRF_BLE_SCAN_MIN_CONNECTION_INTERVAL to 100(ms) in sdk_config.h. Remember that you have to change the connection intervals for both central and peripherals to make sure that they overlap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also try decreasing the scan window (Although this reduces the chance to detect the advertising packet). This is done by decreasing the variable NRF_BLE_SCAN_SCAN_WINDOW in sdk_config.h&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
