nrf51822 example with Bluetooth Low Energy and 2.4 GHz proprietary wireless applications

[yanli_1226]

hello, I want an example that support  both  Bluetooth Low Energy and 2.4 GHz proprietary, when the BLE is free, it can send with 2.4 GHz proprietary

where can I get this example?

Hi 

Do you mean an example that can switch between BLE and 2.4GHz once in a while, or an example that runs both protocols concurrently using the timeslot API?

Put another way, does it have to appear to the user that both protocols are running at the same time?

Best regards

not switch between BLE and 2.4GHz once in a while,  but flexible switching between BLE and 2.4GHz, so it means support both protocols

Hi

We don't have a good example for this unfortunately. 

This example is technically doing what you need, but it is written for a very old version of the SDK using an older version of the ESB library. 

You can look at the code to get some pointers, but I would suggest using it for reference only, and start a new project based on nRF5 SDK v15.3.0 and the nrf_esb library. 

Best regards

OK, thank you!

then another question, is there an example that can run with  2.4GHz  proprietary, and can change to BLE  once, and never change back to 2.4GHz  proprietary again.

Hi

There is an example in the SDK showing you how to change between Gazell (a proprietary 2.4GHz protocol provided in the SDK) and BLE at the press of a button. 

This is probably the most similar to what you are asking for. 

It doesn't limit how many times you can switch though, it will allow you to switch back and forth as many times as you like.

thank you for replying. which example please? 

The example in nRF5_SDK\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\ble_peripheral seems not include 2.4G. the example in nRF5_SDK\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a\examples\proprietary_rf seems not include BLE.

Hi

Sorry for the slow reply, I was on travel last week.

The example I was referring to is this one:

\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\multiprotocol\ble_app_gzll
