I need to make sure that i have maximised the range of the BLE, i've managed to set the mode to CODED PHY, TX_power=15, how can i see which coding is used, s=2 or s=8?
I've used these settings:

Code: Select all

 esp_ble_tx_power_set(ESP_BLE_PWR_TYPE_DEFAULT, ESP_PWR_LVL_P18 );
 esp_ble_gap_set_prefered_default_phy(ESP_BLE_GAP_PHY_OPTIONS_PREF_S8_CODING,ESP_BLE_GAP_PHY_OPTIONS_PREF_S8_CODING);

I'm using Arduino IDE with ESP32 library
Thank you.

Setting

Code: Select all

ble_gap_set_prefered_default_le_phy(BLE_GAP_LE_PHY_CODED, BLE_GAP_LE_PHY_CODED);

works a bit... but for some reason 2M PHY is enabled and not Coded PHY.

Any idea why this would happen?

What's the device at the other end?
With BLE, connection parameters are dynamically negotiated between the two devices, so if either of them can't/won't use the coded PHY it's not going to be used for the connection. That's why you set a preferred PHY only.
