nrf52832 timeslot example

[john.liu]

I use sdk16.0 and nrf52832.

Can you give me an example of nrf52832 timeslot example? thank you.

I read timeslot on DevZone,but many routines are missing files, resulting in errors. So I want a complete one that can run on nrf52832 and sdk16.0.thank you.

Hi John, 

We currently don't have an example in SDK v16 to provide for you but the timeslot APIs haven't changed much since then. 

We have some code provided by one of our customer here. It's for SDK v15 (shouldn't be much different to SDK v16) and please make sure to use the updated timeslot.c file that I provided in the last reply.

Hi Hung Bui,

Thank you! But how to operate Beacon in Timeslot.

[Hung Bui]

Are you planning the softdevice to do beaconing or you plan to use the radio directly. 

If you need to switch with multiple beacon you have to think of doing the beaconing using the radio directly. 

Another option is to switch between. For example you only do connectable advertising once per 2 seconds. The rest of the time you do normal beaconing. This way you don't need to use the timeslot.

Hi Hung Bui,

I need to switch with multiple beacon,Do you have such an example.I don't know how.

We have an example on sending advertising packet directly using the RADIO, have a look here: https://github.com/NordicPlayground/solar_sensor_beacon

The payload packet is configured in sensor_beacon.c and sent using hal_radio.c
