Is it possible to get the RSSI with NRF51422 (S110) without connecting to a central device?

[PECHI]

Hello,

I need to get RSSI with the NRF51422 (pca10031, S110), but i don't want to connect with a central device (i.e. Smart Phone). The central device should scan for bluetooth devices and the NRF51422 should measure the signal strength of the received scan response request packet from the central device.

Is it possible? If yes, how is it possible?

I'm using SDK 8.0.0 and S110 V8.

Thanks in advance

I typed 'rssi' into the documentation search field, clicked on 'rssi' in the list which came up and found 'ble_gap_evt_scan_req_report_t' containing the rssi and BTLE address of the peer device, that's sent on BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT event.

That would appear to be what you're looking for.

Would be perhaps handy if that was in the message charts somewhere.

Yes, there is clearly room for improvement in the documentation. From S110 8.0.0, the peripheral application can receive RSSI events when scan requests are recieved from a central device. This is described on this thread

Thank you for the quick answere.
