Range Test

[Muqarrab]

Hi, 

I have nRF52840 DK. How can set the max range? or how can increase/decrease the tx range?

Also is there any range extender to improve range?

Thanks!

Hi, 

Are you using NCS or SDK? If SDK, You may find this blog post interesting.

Hi,
I am using SDK.

Hi, Amanda Hsieh,
I am using the following command to improve the range. Is this the right way to gain the max range?

    uint32_t err_code = sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(BLE_GAP_TX_POWER_ROLE_ADV, m_advertising.adv_handle, 8); 
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

You should be able to change the TX power by using sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set.

Please check out this tweaked version of the ble_app_att_mtu_throughput example which is edited to advertise using Coded PHY. Please use that as a template to set up your project to advertise using Coded PHY.

Hi, Amanda Hsieh,

I am trying to program the device with SDK16_ble_app_att_mtu_throughput.zip but getting the following error. 
Here is directrory ofproject: C:\Nordic\SDK\nRF5SDK17009d13099\nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099\examples\peripheral\ble_app_att_mtu_throughput

Need your help, please?

Hi, 

I extracted the zip to nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral\experimental and compiled without error.

1- I have successfully uploaded the code but getting 50 feet range.(I am using the nRF app and scanning the device)



2-How can I test long-range with one nRF52840 Board(Which project should I used)? 
3-I have worked on ble_app_template. Now, what changes I should make to gain max range? Any specific changes for long-range? 
Thanks

Here is my code. I have read this blog Long_Range. But not finding where I have to make changes. Can you please guide me?
