How to get RSSI in the direction_finding_connectionless_rx example on nRF52833?

[Sener]

Hi,

I want to simply get RSSI at each scan in the connection less example (direction_finding_connectionless_rx).
I have running two nRF52833-DK. One is flashed with RX and the other with RX example.

I'm using the nordic NCS SDK v1.8.0 with softdevice s140 v7.3.0.

The devices are communicating to each others nice and easy. But, RSSI readings at each scan show a constant value (-127)

When I debug it (using RTT Viewer and Debug terminal), I get this;

RSSI looks always -127.

I can only see some different RSSI readings during initial talk between the two devices (anchor and tag)

Any input greatly appreciated.

Hi

The ReadMe file covers both setup for using AoD and AoA (AoA is what we would recommend). So on the locator side, you can skip the AoD overlay file and focus on the antenna array configuration instead.

I have pinged the sales manager of your region and they should get back to you soon.

The CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE should be set in the prj.conf file of your project C:\...\v1.8.0\nrf\samples\bluetooth\direction_finding_connectionless_tx\prj.conf

Other examples using RSSI include I.E. the central_hr sample that will detect and print the RSSI of advertising heart rate monitor peripheral samples.

Best regards,

Simon

Finally I've found some more time and tested the things you suggested. For the time being, I've made the examples central_hr and peripheral_hr working and I've the RSSI readings. Nice! One down more to go.
