Hi Forum,

We are using CYW20706 with WICED version 6.0, and we cannot upgrade to newer versions (route audio over uart no longer supported).

So we know there is a bug in WICED 6.0 where RSSI reading from a BLE scan can turn out to be positive. We were dropping those data points previously. Now we are working on a new feature that relies on collecting RSSI readings for distance estimation, so ideally we can keep those data points.

Is it possible for us to correct/patch those positive readings in application code? Maybe there is a formula?

Thanks,

LJ

The problem is fixed with WICED SDK 6.4. Please try to replace the file in SDK6.0 with the attached file from SDK6.4 and test if the problem still happens.
