Connect to two peripheral devices at once using nRF52 dongle

[Liav Adi1]

Hello,

We are using PCA10059 with the pc-ble-driver as a central to connect to our device, which is based on the nRF52832.

We need to be able to connect to two peripheral devices at once.

However, the default softdevice (v3) doesn't seem to support multiple peripherals.

Does the pc-ble-driver support softdevice v6 on the PCA10059 (nRF52 dongle)?

Thanks,

Liav.

Hi,

The s132 v3.x.0 softdevice should support up to 8 concurrent connections from a central to peripherals, but the driver/example you are using might not be configured to support this.

The latest release of pc-ble-driver (C\C++ version) support sd_api_v2, sd_api_v3, sd_api_v5, and sd_api_v6. Can you share your code you are using, and which versions of pc-ble-driver/connectivity firmware you are using? 

Best regards,
Jørgen

You need to increase central_conn_count, periph_conn_count configures how many connections as a peripheral the softdevice can support. I sd_api_v3 this is limited to 1.
