Getting raw RSSI value

Hi Filip,

[quote user="Faws"]

I am familiar with using the RSSI values, but I am wondering if there is any way to get a more accurate reading? Or suppose even getting a raw measured watt without having to convert.

We do not have any other means to measure received power other than the RSSI feature of the radio.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi,

RSSI is what we have available for this purpose, and here's the specs on it:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/radio.html?cp=4_0_0_5_19_14_8#unique_1927333262

PS: dBm can be converted to watt, but the resolution on the RSSI might not meet your spec

Kind regards,

Håkon
