Using Longe Range Demo with SDK 15.2

[Andreas48752]

Hi,

I would like to evaluate the long range demo with the 15.2 SDK (original 15.0 is used). Opening the project and trying to compile it gives some errors like "no such file or directory". I think that's because some libraries got out of experimental stage (e. g. log). 

On the other side if I try to modify the UART demo of the 15.2 SDK I get errors like "ble_gap_scan_params_t has no member named 'scan_phy' which seems to be a problem because long range demo uses a s140_nrf52840_6.0.0-6.alpha soft device. 

So does anybody know if there is an updated demo for 15.2 or where the members like 'scan_phy' can be found in soft device s140nrf52611? Did they not make it in the official release?

Thanks!

Andreas

Hi,

Which long range demo are you using?

I would like to have something like the UART Demo with long range

Hi,

thank you for your answer. I really appreciate your help!

It is quite difficult to find the right post in the forum because serveral posts are a bit older and not relevant for new sdks. 

I think I got the peripheral working. But what do I need to do on the central UART example. Is inserting following lines in the sdk_config.h enough?

// <o> NRF_BLE_SCAN_SCAN_PHY - PHY to scan on.

// <0=> BLE_GAP_PHY_AUTO
// <1=> BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS
// <2=> BLE_GAP_PHY_2MBPS
// <4=> BLE_GAP_PHY_CODED
// <255=> BLE_GAP_PHY_NOT_SET

#ifndef NRF_BLE_SCAN_SCAN_PHY
#define NRF_BLE_SCAN_SCAN_PHY 4
#endif

Just an update: I figured it out.

So thank you for the support.
