Is there a way to return an RSSI on the initial discovery scan using this chip? I know I can get them after link using the L command. And I know I can scan for nodes using the I or IN inquiry commands, but this returns only the MAC, Name and type.
What I want is to connect to the most powerful bluetooth node I can hear (of a certain name/type). I have one bluetooth node per room, each room/lab is separated by walls. The device should connect to the bluetooth node in the current room. Unfortunately, sometimes it can hear several bluetooth nodes at once but generally one is very strong (-40 dBm) and the others are generally much weaker (-70-90 dBm). So this choice should be an obvious one.
Other BT2.0+ radios (such as BlueRadio’s modules) return the RSSI in the discovery scan. Is there a way to get this data from the RN-42?
Thank you for your assistance,
Brett
