ble_app_blinky example enable long rage and nRF Blinky APP to scan device

Hi All,

I study this post to enable long-range(s=8) on ble_app_blinky (nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky)

In the post, one of the settings is set adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_CONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;

I can not scan the nRF52840 DK if I use nRF Blinky APP on phone(support BLE5.0).

Can not scan the DK because the adv_params.properties.type for NONSCANNABLE?

Is this possible ble_app_blinky with long-range(S=8) and utilize nRF Blinky APP to control?

Thanks,

Tim

  • Hi, Tim,

    I was playing with long range successfully. Phones compatibilty is quite awful. I have Samsung S10 which supports all BLE5.0 features and used it for testing setting blinky app to advertise on long range.

    Good luck,

    Mike

  • Thanks for sharing.

    You can use nRF Blinky APP to scan and connect the nRF52840 DK in long-range mode by S10?

  • Hi Tim,

    I will be playing with it over the weekend and let you know.

  • Hi Tim,

    I have just checked and I can connect in long range from S10. There is a trick that you have to click three dots next to CONNECT button in nRF Connect app, where you can select 'Connect with preferred PHY' and check LE Coded there.

    Hope it helped.
