Terminate established peripheral connection

[MKarl]

Hello all!

I am currently developing on the development board nRF52832, SDK16.0 and SD132v7.2.0.

My developmnet board acts as a central whereas my phone as peripheral. The idea is now that my developmnet board terminates the connection with my phone after a few seonds. My first try was to set CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT with the wish that the SD terminates the connection automatically by its own:

#define MIN_CONN_INTERVAL MSEC_TO_UNITS(400, UNIT_1_25_MS) 
#define MAX_CONN_INTERVAL MSEC_TO_UNITS(650, UNIT_1_25_MS) 
#define SLAVE_LATENCY 0                                    
#define CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT MSEC_TO_UNITS(4000, UNIT_10_MS)   
 
 void init_gap_conn(void)
 {
 ble_gap_conn_params_t gap_conn = {0};
 
 gap_conn.min_conn_interval         = MIN_CONN_INTERVAL;
 gap_conn.max_conn_interval         = MAX_CONN_INTERVAL;
 gap_conn.slave_latency             = SLAVE_LATENCY;
 gap_conn_params.conn_sup_timeout   = CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT;

 sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set(&gap_conn_params);
 }

Please correct me if i am wrong but based on the code snippet above the connection to the peripheral should terminate after 4 s? But the problem is that the connection remains until i disconnet manually on my peripheral itself. Is there a possibility to perform a termination of the connection or do i have to do it in SW by using follwowing command:

sd_ble_gap_disconnect();

Any hint would be really appreciated.

Best regards,

Karl

Hi Karl,

thank you for your quick response. As you also proposed, i am starting a timer and after expiration, the link is disconnected by using sd_ble_gap_disconnect.

Thank you again.

BR,

Great, that is a good way to implement it.

Please do not hesitate to open another ticket if you should encounter any other issues or questions in the future.

Good luck with your development!
