Thanks, Amanda Hsieh

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

Hi,

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

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?

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 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);
