Ways to roughly measure tx_power of normal mesh communications

[Jeffe]

Hi, I am not sure how to measure the signal strength of the communication within the mesh network (ie. communication between provisioned nodes), in order to verify a change in signal strength.

Thanks in advance

Hi, 

You can call mesh_opt_core_tx_power_set() in the runtime for setting the TX power, and the configuration will be stored in the flash, and check by mesh_opt_core_tx_power_get(). 

It should be able to see the change by using the nRF Sniffer to verify this in a development setting.

I am not sure which bearer is used for communication between provisioned devices.

I think it's the ADV bearer because you wrote that you get it for the GATT bearer.

Regards,
Amanda
