Extend ble acl on LE Audio headset

Hi Nordic team

We work on a custom hardware (LE Audio headset) and we need to send the battery voltage of the headset to the gateway which will be a smartphone. Using nRF Connect, I can see the BLE ACL (Volume control etc.). Can someone help me to implement a custom property like battery voltage?

kind regards

Gerry

  • Hello Gerry,

    Thank you for your patience with this.

    You should be fine to add 'regular' BLE communication alongside the LE Audio communication. We have internally tested 2 ACLs with 1 CIS each, for volume control etc, and you should be able to use these just as well to transfer your battery level or similar.

    Some considerations however:
    1. Make sure that the Connection interval is at least 4 times larger than the ISO interval, and has a common denominator with the ISO interval.
    2. Make sure that you finish all link layer negotiations (connection parameter updates, etc) before establishing the ISO channel - we have seen a few instances were multiple LL negotiations during regular CIS operation could cause a link instability, if you are unlucky. We are working on resolving this, but the current recommendation is to avoid these operations after the ISO channel is established.

    Best regards,

  • No problem at all, Gerry - I am happy to help! :)
