How do I add RSSI monitoring to the ble_central example app?

[Robin]

Hello again Nordic World,

I am using a slightly modified version of the ble_central example running on both 10028 and 10040 boards as "test central boards" for communicating with our product during testing.  I am working with both  boards under SDK 12.3. 

We need to monitor the RSSI of these central boards.  I cannot find an example of a central device that include the ability to monitor RSSI.  I have attempted adding the appropriate code for starting, getting, and stopping the monitoring in the on_ble_evt function, but it does not work. I have noticed that when this is done on ble_peripheral apps, there are "conn_param" functions that are not used in the ble_central app.

What all must be added to the ble_central app to enable monitoring of RSSI?  Is there an example that includes this?

Thanks once again,

Robin @ TL

Ho Jimmy,

Are you a Nordic engineer?  A bit nervous about 3rd party websites.

Hi Robin,

I worked in Nordic before and left already.  You can find some examples on my github (https://github.com/jimmywong2003).

Hey again Jimmy,

FYI, with a bit of pointer from one of the state side Nordic FAEs to one of your posts, I was able to sus out where to grab the connection handle from.  I am up and monitoring at both ends.  

Thanks again for all you do.
