We are using a nRF52840 dev board for a wireless mouse project. Using the BLE library, there's quite significant delay between packet sends (~50ms), while the rest of the code takes less than 10ms to execute. That's makes the project feels sluggish and unresponsive.
I had used a nrf24l01 radio chip before, and the delay was better with that. But it's NRND. Is it possible to use a nRF52 microprocessor as a RF radio? Has anyone attempted doing something like this before? I would be tremendously grateful for any tips/resources.
Have you looked in the library to see where that delay comes from?
I tried, but couldn't find anything obvious as it keeps referring to the nordic ble stack, which I have no real experience of. I asked a few people who have worked with Bluetooth and they said this is to be expected from Bluetooth. Perhaps they are wrong, but my understanding of BLE is too limited to judge. And I feel that I would need to spend a few weeks wrapping my head around it; which hopefully I'll get the time to do. But wanted to check if an easier RF option didn't already exist.
