RE: nrf52811 as a central (Low power Periodic Scanning)

[quote userid="102666" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/72972/nrf52811-as-a-central-low-power-periodic-scanning"]Most of the places I have read that nrf52811 is not suited as a central role[/quote]

Indeed - see: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Low-power-short-range-wireless

it's one of the "Lower-end nRF52 Series SoCs" - intended for low-cost, simple applications.

In particular, the reduced Flash & RAM make these less suited to Central roles.

Not impossible - just less capable.

nor can I find any working example of Low power ble scanning from nrf.

Not sure what you mean by that?

Any Central would have to do scanning in order to pick up advertisements.
