Hi,
I am developing the board to act as Broadcaster and also Observer
I am using SDK_16 with SEGGER EMBEDDED . nRF52
board wants to do Broadcast the signal (non-connectable) and observer. it has to match the
UUID and read the RSSI and broadcasting data (Battery level).
From RSSI need to find the distance and taking action when it not in preferred distance.
I found the formula for distance.
Distance = pow(10d, ((double) Measured RSSI - rssi) / (10 * N));
Measured RSSI = RSSI @ 1m. and it is -61dBm. (value taken from the beacon data)
Problem:
1. what is measured RSSI and how can I judge it is -61dBm. because i measured the Beacon in DK1 and scanner code in DK2 . I received nearly -51 to -59 dBm . sometimes -63dBm.
2. what will be the N : in formula says its a factor that can be 2 if device is indoor
3. the Distance value are not achieved properly . required to measure the distance upto 20 feet and it should be precious and it also not in LOS(Line of sight)
4. how to send the Battery level in the advertising data
5. i have seen the Beacon code . in that i am not able to provide the device name . how to provide the beacon name.
6. In Scanner mode . what is scan_addr_filter . is it filter of advertising data or some other
7. how to provide the custom UUID for the beacon mode. and i need to do uuid filter during scan and read the RSSI value
is it possible to have Broadcaster, Observer, Central and Peripheral in one device. do you have any example code related to this.
