Is it possible to get nRF8002 to transmit continuously or rapidly (100/sec) when it receives a specific command?

The source code is available on purchase of the kit, you need go to mypage on Nordicsemi.com , register yourself. ( www.nordicsemi.com/.../2 ) Add the product key that is on your development kit to "My Keys" on your mypage. You should then (when you are logged into mypage) download the apps that you want www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRFready-Demo-APPS

If you have any issues ask on the mypage by creating a new case.

Edit: The nRF8002 development kit gives you access to nRF Toolbox, nRF Utility and nRF Proximity.

Thank you for your reply. Is there sample Android code that Nordic provides for this purpose ?

I purchased the full NRF8002 kit and was able to test this feature using the nRF Android app (nRF Toobox). I am searching for the source code for this app but I am not able to download the Android nRF Toolbox source code. Is the source code available for purchasing this kit ?

Thank You KarthiK K

You can use the Alert Notification or Immediate Alert on the peer to transmit the button press to the peer. In this case the nRF8002 acts as a GATT Client.

You mention that the nRF8002 can be used in a keyfob applications. What profile/service/characteristic should be used to transmit a button press on the nRF8002 input pins back to a phone ?

Thank You

Hi,

Since you are planning to send a command to change the behavior of the nRF8002, an alternative would be to change the connection interval to a more frequent connection interval and then change it to a less frequent connection interval, this can be done from the master side of the link. This would provide the more frequent transmissions from the nRF8002 that you seem to require.

In addition the nRF8001 already sends a Read Request every 30 seconds when an encrypted link is available.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

The nRF8002 is a restricted system-on-chip made for typical keyfob applications. By this I mean that it only supports a given profile (proximity) and a given set of configurations. The nRF8002 cannot be programmed to do the specific task you ask about.

For a "burst of data"-application using BLE, you will have to look at either the nRF8001 or the nRF51822.
