Maximum throughput with new nRF51 Dongle

Hi,

Im new to BLE and still trying to wrap my head around things. I am using the both new nRF51 DK and nRF51 Dongle for testing at the moment. I know that the old dongle that came with the nRF51822 development board only allows one 20 byte packet per connection interval. Does this new nRF51 Dongle support 6 packets per connection interval?

  • It depends on what you are connection towards. The nRF51 radio as a Bluetooth peripheral can support up to 6 packages per connection interval if the central it connects to accepts this. The nRF51 dongle in master control panel with the MEFW .10 firmware will support up to 6 packages per connection interval in Master control panel.

  • i have one more question for you, the database discovery module provided by the SDK only supports up to 3 characteristics per service with a maximum of 2 services. If i wanted to created a central application using the Dongle as a central client, how then can i recieve 6 packets per connection? would i have to split my data into two services, 3 characteristics a piece? any infomation would be a big help, thanks
