I want to use NCS to acquire RSSI with a total of two nRF51s, one central and one peripheral.

I want to use ncs to get the RSSI at 10ms intervals.

For example, central receives an empty packet from peripheral at 10ms interval.

I would like to know if there is a sample project or code that has the necessary connection intervals, functions for sending empty packets, or functions for this purpose.

The following is the code for peripheral.

  • Hi 

    It is important to mention that we don't recommend starting new BLE designs with the nRF51 series today, since it only supports Bluetooth 4.1, which will be deprecated in early 2023:
    https://www.bluetooth.com/archived-specifications/

    This means that after this time you will not be allowed to qualify any new BLE designs based on this Bluetooth version. 

    Also, we don't have official support for the nRF51 series in Zephyr/nRF Connect SDK, which means are not able to prioritize support for this combination of hardware and software. 

    Have you considered migrating to the nRF52 series instead?

    Best regards
    Torbjørn

  • Yes, but so far the peripheral_uart and central_uart sample projects are working with "Board name:nrf51dongle_nrf51422", so I thought it would not be a problem.

    I modified the code again, and implemented a function to record rssi and timestamp when polling is received from central.

    However, I don't understand the clock settings, so I don't understand the meaning of the time lapse values displayed.

    And why does the counter sometimes skip?

    Also, I would like to know the code to control the polling interval of central.

  • Hi

    I can try to run your code on my side, but it seems you didn't include all the code, such as the implementation of the radio_rssi_get() function?

    Are you able to just add your source files as attachments, instead of copy pasting the code into the case?

    Then it is easier for me to include it in a local project and see if I can get the code running. 

    Best regards

  • 8015.peripheral_uart.zip

    I use "build_nrf51dongle_nrf51422">>"peripheral_uart",and "central_uart".

    4786.central_uart.zip

    The code has changed again since last time.

    The question also changes a little. Sorry.

    The problem is as follows.

    1. The timestamp is no longer missing, but the display of teraterm is frequently wrong.

    2. Is it correct to understand that I can find the time by dividing the timestamp value by 32768 (clock frequency)? 

    3.  I believe that the program in my peripheral records the rssi and timestamp in response to polling from Central, but am I correct in my understanding?

    4. How can I fix the polling interval of central to 7.5ms?

  • Hi 

    I am still not able to build the code, because the radio_rssi_get() function is missing:

    Is this a function you made yourself, or can it be found in one of the standard libraries?

    I will check this when I can get the code to run.

    2. Is it correct to understand that I can find the time by dividing the timestamp value by 32768 (clock frequency)? 

    Most likely that is the case, yes, but this depends on the project configuration. There are makro's that you can use to convert the cycles to seconds, as described here:

    3.  I believe that the program in my peripheral records the rssi and timestamp in response to polling from Central, but am I correct in my understanding?

    As mentioned above I would like to be able to run the code first, in order to see how it works in practice.

    4. How can I fix the polling interval of central to 7.5ms?

     My colleague Simon shared a method for doing this in this case:
    https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/77381/sending-multiple-notify-packets-per-connection-interval

    Please note that in order to set the connection interval to 7.5ms instead of 15ms you should use a value of 6 instead of 12.

    For "radio_rssi_get", there is "uint32_t radio_rssi_get(void)" in "radio.c".
