Detailed Description

Parameters defining the advertising process.

Legacy advertising:

Advertising parameters for legacy advertising are a mainly defined by a pair of values:

In addition, it is possible to adjust other parameters:

For directed advertising, you can set the address of the target with the help of setPeer() and query it with getPeerAddress() and getPeerAddressType().

Extended advertising:

To use extended advertising features, first disable legacy advertising with setUseLegacyPDU().

Extended advertising adds new features to BLE advertising:

Fluent interface:

This API is designed for usability. You can construct it and pass it in place. To achieve this, the fluent interface pattern is used. Every setter returns a reference to the object modified and can be chained.

void setAdvertisingParameters(ble::PalGap& gap) {
using namespace ble;
gap.setAdvertisingParameters(
.setType(advertising_type_t::ADV_CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED)
.setOwnAddressType(own_address_type_t::RANDOM)
);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AdvertisingParameters ( advertising_type_t  advType = advertising_type_t::CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED,
adv_interval_t  minInterval = adv_interval_t(DEFAULT_ADVERTISING_INTERVAL_MIN),
adv_interval_t  maxInterval = adv_interval_t(DEFAULT_ADVERTISING_INTERVAL_MAX),
bool  useLegacyPDU = true 
)

Construct an instance of GapAdvertisingParams.

Parameters
[in]advTypeType of advertising.
[in]minInterval,maxIntervalTime interval between two advertisement. A range is provided to the LE subsystem, so it can adjust the advertising interval with other transmission happening on the BLE radio.
[in]useLegacyPDUIf true legacy PDU shall be used for advertising.
Note
If CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED or CONNECTABLE_DIRECTED advertising is used you must use legacy PDU.
If values in input are out of range, they will be normalized.
If type selected is incompatible with non legacy PDU, legacy PDU will be used.

Definition at line 136 of file AdvertisingParameters.h.

AdvertisingParameters ( advertising_type_t  advType,
bool  useLegacyPDU 
)

Construct an instance of GapAdvertisingParams.

Parameters
[in]advTypeType of advertising.
[in]useLegacyPDUIf true legacy PDU shall be used for advertising.
Note
If CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED or CONNECTABLE_DIRECTED advertising is used you must use legacy PDU.
If type selected is incompatible with non legacy PDU, legacy PDU will be used.
