Controlled advertising - nRF52832

[Vroon]

Hello guys,

I am trying to work on an advertisement model where I have a transmitter(nRF52832 DK) which should advertise specific data only for certain amount of time say 5 times and then go to sleep.This advertisement will be triggered by pressing button 1 and in the same way if you press button 1 on the receiver (another nRF52832 DK) it will be able to read the advertised data by the transmitter and go to sleep along with the transmitter after it advertises for 5 times. Is this something that can be done?

I already have a program where my transmitter advertises for 180 secs and then goes to sleep. Pressing button 1 triggers the advertisement for a further time of 180 secs. So what should I implement/change?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure that you can set the number of advertisements directly?

But you can certainly set the advertising interval & duration - which should, effectively, give what you require?

Yeah setting the advertisement interval and duration should be enough, I was thinking of ways to reduce power. The threshold value didn't cross my mind. Cheers!
