How can I display the beacon signals receiving from nordic thingy 52 at my device? I want to display the RSSI of thingy 52 beacon to map it with the distance. Please suggest if there is any approach to map the same.

How can I display the beacon signals receiving from nordic thingy 52 at my device? Please suggest if I can display the same using UART data and if yes then how to display? I want to display the RSSI of thingy 52 beacon to map it with the distance. Please suggest if there is any approach to map the same.

For your reference, PS I am not using mobile app to log the signals or any notification.

Hello,

Please note that the RSSI is not an accurate mapping of distance. Search for "distance rssi" here on devzone, and you will find a whole bunch of threads discussing this.

As for how to read the RSSI, you will find it in the advertising report events, simply add the advertising report event in your BLE event handler in main, and add the following:

case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
            NRF_LOG_INFO("RSSI: %d", p_ble_evt->evt.gap_evt.params.adv_report.rssi);
            break;

Best Regards,

Edvin
