How to set TX power to maximum +8dbm for advertising as well as when connected

[Pamela Keiles]

Hello,

I am trying to set the default TX power to +8dbm for all stages of the BLE transmission process, including when advertising is active. I have referenced the "hci_pwr_ctrl" sample and this only seems to adjust the TX power once a connection is made. Plus this example makes it seem very complicated just to update this power level.

Ideally I want to just be able to update the default TX power level once from 0dbm to +8dbm for all BLE communications, is this possible?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Pamela, 

Please find the following example
In the example +8dbm only in advertising mode, please do 

set_tx_power(BT_HCI_VS_LL_HANDLE_TYPE_CONN... 
If you want to control TXPower in connection mode. 

. Note that +8dbm is only available on nrf52833, nRF52840, nRF52820.
