Is the connection idle timeout settable in runtime?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

The connection timeout is set at power up in the create function:

1. Our definition:

#define CONN_TIMEOUT     5          // In seconds

2. In  config array const BLE_PROFILE_CFG my_app_cfg:

...

/*.con_idle_timeout               =*/      CONN_TIMEOUT,   // In seconds

...

My question is:

Is there an API to change it later, when the code is already running?  If so, what is the call that I have to use to set it to the new value?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Gil

I've asked jamesle1​ on the applications team to take a look at this and respond.

No.  I am out of the office till next week, so I need to check his schedule.

This is how you do it:

Maximum is 255 seconds:

UINT8 timeout;                    // Set it to any value <= 255

Example:

timeout = 10;

Code:

bleprofile_StopConnIdleTimer();

bleprofile_StartConnIdleTimer(timeout, bleprofile_appTimerCb);

The "stop" call is needed if the timer has been previously started.
