sd_ble_gap_rssi_start influence

[Eddie]

Hi

I was wondering if using sd_ble_gap_rssi_start to measure RSSI value during connection has any influence on power usage or ble data throughput (or other resources). Or is it only enabling the reporting from the softdevice and is everything the same on ble level? We're probably going to use it with the BLE_GAP_RSSI_THRESHOLD_INVALID set, and poll the rssi value with sd_ble_gap_rssi_get when needed.

Hi,

It depends on your application, if there is low activity from the radio to begin with and you use sd_ble_gap_rssi_start then it will send more often and more power will be used as a result I would think(not a huge amount though).

Thanks, we'll not use it at this time as we are close to release. Maybe in the future after some more testing.
