configureConnection

Configure LL connection between Bluetooth LE Central and Peripheral nodes

Since R2022a

    Description

    example

    cfgBluetoothLEConnection = configureConnection(cfgBluetoothLEConnection,centralNode,peripheralNode) configures the link layer (LL) connection between the Bluetooth® low energy (LE) Central node centralNode and Peripheral node peripheralNode by using the Bluetooth LE LL connection configuration object cfgBluetoothLEConnection.

    Create a Bluetooth LE node, specifying the role as "central".

    centralNode = bluetoothLENode("central");

    Create two Bluetooth LE nodes, specifying the role as "peripheral".

    peripheralNode1 = bluetoothLENode("peripheral");
    peripheralNode2 = bluetoothLENode("peripheral");

    Create a default Bluetooth LE configuration object to share connection between the Central and Peripheral nodes.

    connectionConfig = bluetoothLEConnectionConfig
    connectionConfig = 
      bluetoothLEConnectionConfig with properties:
    
        ConnectionInterval: 0.0200

          ConnectionOffset: 0
              ActivePeriod: 0.0200
    
    

    Specify the connection interval, connection offset, and active period for the LL connection, in seconds.

    connectionConfig.ConnectionInterval = 0.04;
    connectionConfig.ConnectionOffset = 0;
    connectionConfig.ActivePeriod = 0.02;

    Specify the unique connection address for the LL connection.

    connectionConfig.AccessAddress = "5DA44271"
    connectionConfig = 
      bluetoothLEConnectionConfig with properties:
    
        ConnectionInterval: 0.0400

    Configure the LL connection between the Central node and Peripheral node 1.

    configureConnection(connectionConfig,centralNode,peripheralNode1);

    Update the LL connection configuration object to share connection parameters between the Central node and Peripheral node 2.

    connectionConfig.ConnectionOffset = 0.02;   % In seconds
    connectionConfig.ActivePeriod = 0.02;       % In seconds
    connectionConfig.AccessAddress = "5DA44272"
    connectionConfig = 
      bluetoothLEConnectionConfig with properties:
    
        ConnectionInterval: 0.0400
