BLE Disconnection problems
Posted: 06:33, 21 Dec 2015
Hi I'm using a Nordic nRF51 DK with a modified version of RedBearLabs "Simple Control" app through EvoThings to drive a small RC car. I have the basic functionality working with buttons in my app to start and stop the motors. However I'm having problems with my BLE connection dropping out. It seems to happen most often after I have the motors running and then tap the button in my app to stop them. Then my BLE connection will drop out essentially every time. If I test pressing the same button sequences with my motors physically detached, I have no disconnection issues. My best guess is some kind of electrical noise interference from these DC motors. Also, if I have the RC car lifted off the ground so there is much less resistance on the wheels that the motors are turning then it also cuts out much less often. Anyone have any ideas?
