BLE RSSI not updating

[Cedoche]

Hi,

I am working on a project with the new BLE extension.

The phone connects to the BLE device and everything works fine. (I can send and recieve data)

Once the device is connected, I would like to display the RSSI at a reguar time interval. 

The issue is that the RSSI value doesn not seem to update.

I think it get a value when the phone connects to the device but then the value does not change anymore.

I am using the function: BLE1.ConnectedDeviceRssi

What function should I add to update the RSSI value?

(I am using the Feather BLE module from Adafruit with a Samsung Galaxy S5.)

Many thanks for your support.

Have you tried the "when BluetoothLE1.RssiChanged" method

Looking at the BLE code, it looks like we are only reading the RSSI once when the device connects, which would explain the observed behavior. Looking at the BLE APIs provided by Android, there isn't a method to simply be notified of changes; we would need to implement a polling mechanism to enable this type of functionality.

I am having the same problem - It would be great to be able to read the current RSSI value any time after we connect. I don't need to be notified of changes, but want to read it every second or so based on a timer.

Any update about this issue?

Hi Federico

I don't know if Evan was able to fix the RSSI issue but there is an updated BLE extension being prepared for release soon.

Thank you Chris, we can resolve with a timer although we're waiting for the update.

I have the same problem with RSSI.

So would also like to have it fixed.

Thanks
