Arch BLE disconnects after 10 seconds

Dear mbed Experts,

I have made some changes to the "BLE_LoopbackUART" example imported from the nRF51-DK page. The code works fine on the nRF51-DK board. However, with the same code on the Seeed Arch BLE board, the connection to my iPhone app is dropped after 10 seconds!

On the Arch BLE Wiki website, I read that

Quote:

If the BLE device is disconnected frequently, we can improve the stability by changing the BLE parameters - Advertising Duration (main.cpp), Min Interval and Max Interval (nRF51822/projectconfig.h)

I changed the following two parameters to various numbers ranging 7.5ms to 4s with no luck.

#define CFG_GAP_CONNECTION_MIN_INTERVAL_MS     20    /**< Minimum acceptable connection interval */
#define CFG_GAP_CONNECTION_MAX_INTERVAL_MS     200   /**< Maximum acceptable connection interval */

Both boards use the nRF51822 chip so I can't see the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks, Soren

Arch BLE is an mbed enabled development board based Nordic nRF51822. With Arduino form factor and Grove connectors, it is extremely easy to create a bluetooth low energy device.
