How to change advertising params

[rozpruwacz]

Hi,

I'm using sdk 15.2, with soft device s140 on nrf52840 dongle in peripheral mode. I'm using modiffied ble_app_proximity example. What I wan't to achieve is to set advertising to general without timeout when there is bounded device. And when there is no bonding I want to have limited advertising. I tried to change the advertising params by running the ble_advertising_init after the bond is created (on PM_EVT_PEER_DATA_UPDATE_SUCCEEDED event in pm_evt_handler) but this causes the advertisement to not start again after disconnection of the peer. So what is the correct way of changing the advertisement parameters ?

Have you checked out ble_advertising_advdata_update()?

What does your application run on BLE_ADV_EVT_IDLE event in on_adv_evt()? You could call ble_advertising_advdata_update() and advertising_start() there.

ble_advertising_advdata_update

but what I want to change is the advertising flags and advertising timeout. And ble_advertising_advdata_update does not allow that. Morower the documentation for ble_gap_adv_data_t  is not available in the online documentation. I get 

Ooops, page not found

when I click on ble_gap_adv_data_t link.

Then the way to go is likely the ble_advertising_init(), and call that when it's not currently advertising followed by advertising_start(). You may check out the parameters passed to sd_ble_gap_adv_set_configure().

You can report documentation issues by clicking on the Documentation feedback at the bottom of each page. I have done so in this case for you.
