Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

Check this comment out: https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=37638#p126149 The problem is not the S3 and its BLE stack. If I run the use standalone BLE on the S3 I get a perfectly acceptable 3% packet loss. The problem is when I turn on esp-matter, then the packet loss jumps to 20%+, with some...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

My goal is to send three ADV packets and get at least one of them 95% of the time. The sniffer sitting next to the S3 is dropping zero of these packets, the radios are only 40cm apart. I believe the high drop rate I am seeing is because the S3 radio is not listening to BLE when I send the packets. I...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

I know it is a shared radio and it is going to miss packets, but is it possible to get sharing to a point where if I send a BLE packet three times 100ms apart it will get at least one of the three 98% of the time? Wifi is running in STA mode so shouldn't the wifi side have fixed timing windows where...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

Next I started with the esp-matter/example/light code and added this file: #include <esp_err.h> #include <esp_log.h> #include <host/ble_gap.h> static const char *TAG = "ble_advert"; static void print_uuid(const ble_uuid_t *uuid) { char buf[BLE_UUID_STR_LEN]; printf("%s", ble_uuid_to_str(uuid, buf));...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

Here's the periodicity of dropping packets. It is sending three packets once per second. These are the seconds when all three were dropped. First column is the seconds count, second is the delta seconds. The average delta is 25 seconds. Starts at 315. No code is changed from previous post. 325 377 5...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

I have implemented esp_ble_scan_channel_setting() and verified that it works as expected. However, that does not seem to be the cause of my problems. If I set the sensor to Channel 37 and the S3 to Channel 39 I receive no packets, if I set them both to Channel 39 I see packets. Also note that I have...

Re: Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

So what is the best way to build a battery powered temperature sensor which connects to an ESP based device? The ESP device is mains powered and also on wifi with a small amount of traffic. My goal here is to minimize the number of packets the temp sensor is sending. If I use BLE advertising to send...

Controlling Nimble BLE Advertising Scan Channels on S3

How do I control the advertising scan channels for numble ble_gap_disc() on the S3?

There appears to be an undocumented API in the ROM -- ble_ll_scan_channel_setting(). Is that what I want? What are the parameters? Why isn't this documented?
