How to stop the device from advertising

Jerome Baron

Hi everyone,

My device is a peripheral. I want to stop my device from advertising and turn off the radio. If connected, I want to shut the connection and turn off the radio. I want to be able to disable all functionality when I sense a critical battery level.

I see the function GAPRole_StartDevice, but I don't see the opposite.

Anyone know a workaround?

Regards,

Jerome

    Hi Jerome,

    It is controlled via a GAP parameter (this is set by the initial_advertising_enable variable in the peripheral init function). GAPRole_StartDevice is for initialization. 

    To disable:

    bool Enable = false;
    GAPRole_SetParameter( GAPROLE_ADVERT_ENABLED, sizeof( bool ), &Enable );

    To enable:

    bool Enable = true;
    GAPRole_SetParameter( GAPROLE_ADVERT_ENABLED, sizeof( bool ), &Enable );

    The code behind the  GAPRole_SetParameter function appears to incorporate delay logic for stopping and starting too.
