Hi team,
My customer need assistance.
In the chip documentation it states that you can set the radio frequency with a CMD_FS command and then you can send BLE advertisements the frequency field set to 255 in order to use the frequency that you set with the CMD_FS command. However, I've been having trouble getting this to work. I've been able to start advertising on a specific channel solely through the BLE advertisement command "rfc_bleAdvPar_t", and if I then go to change the radio frequency manually with CMD_FS I get a success status code but the radio stops working entirely (I have confirmed this with a spectrum analyzer). I have tried this with frequencies equal to the 3 different BLE advertisement channels as well. Am I issuing these commands incorrectly? Thank you for the help, I've attach my code which recreates this problem.
