Oh, I tried it again and it worked well.
Maybe I made a mistake.

I can use the 3,4 buttons to start/stop advertising.
Thank you for your help

Not sure understand what you mean when you say the board will stop afterwards? Do you have a means to restart advertising?

Thank you for your answer.

I used the code below to stop adverting.

sd_ble_gap_adv_stop(m_advertising.adv_handle);

I can use this code to stop the advertising, but the board will stop afterwards.

Did I use it correctly?

Thank you.

Hi,

Advertising is stopped using the sd_ble_gap_adv_stop function. However ble_app_uart uses the ble_advertising module, while it seems that blinky does not. You should still be able to use the function advertising_stop but you need to provide the correct advertisement handle. Should be in m_advertising.
