&lt;p&gt;I reproduced the problem, and traced it down to an app_error_check on line 154 of es_slot.c in the Eddystone source code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essentially the nRF52 will assert if you try to change the TX power on a TLM slot, it will only work on UID, URL and EID slots.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the designers believe this is enforced by the Eddystone specification, and that you are not supposed to set TX power directly on TLM&amp;nbsp;packets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As mentioned &lt;a href="https://developers.google.com/beacons/eddystone"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; &amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;TLM should be interleaved with an identifying frame such as Eddystone-UID or Eddystone-EID&amp;quot;, and you can set the TX power on the interleaved UID or EID packet (slot) instead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So for now please refrain from trying to set the TX power on a TLM slot. I will discuss this with the app developer and see if we should change the app to remove this configuration field for TLM slots.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;Torbjørn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
