TX power

Hi Dialog,

Could we reduce the radio tx power level through setting some registers or calling api functions?

I want to shorter the radio and save some battery power at the same time.

Thanks!

Hi,

Hi,

SDK 3.0.8 has the following API available: rf_nfm_enable();

Thanks,

Hello

Hello

Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I wanted to know:

Does rf_nfm_enable() work only for connections or for advertising also ?

If it does not work for advertising, how do we control advertising power level ?

Hi ankitdaf,

Hi ankitdaf,

When the BLE is in advertising mode its purpose is to be tracked by the all the near devices, advertising in near field has no particular purpose although i dont think that when operating in near field mode has something to do with the operation you perform. The near field mode works for advertising as well.

Thanks MT_dialog

很高兴听到这个消息,谢谢s !

The experience I am thinking of benefits greatly if advertising is done for a much shorter distance, so this should help !

I find the possibility of reducing energy for Bluetooth Low Energy very very exciting , it could open up a lot of use cases.
Any chance capability to further reduce power levels will become available anytime soon ?

Hi ankitdaf,

Hi ankitdaf,

By using the Near field mode isn't going to further lower your power consumption, if that is what you are expecting. Also i am not aware if there are any improvement on the new SDK about lowering the energy the consumption.

Thanks MT_dialog

I am actually expecting the distance over which the advertisement becomes broadcast to go down, will that happen ? That's all I need !

Hi ankitaf,

Hi ankitaf,

In near field mode you are going to be able to broadcast in shorter ranges. You cant test it by enabling the near field mode and by using a simple BLE application check the RSSI between the normal and Near Field mode.

Thanks MT_dialog
