Re: RSSI value in floating point

The constraint is actually in the Bluetooth Specification, which specifies that RSSI is a single signed octet (byte) with a range of -127 to +127 in dB.  I have attached a screenshot of the section for you.

If you wish, you can return the signed integer returned from BlueZ and convert it yourself to a float, but recognize that the underlying value is an integer.

If you have not done so already, suggest you get a copy of the Bluetooth specification, which describes the BT protocol and stack in detail.  The specification is available from the Bluetooth SIG, at http://www.bluetooth.org/ 

Best regards,

David Stockwell

  1. Thanks. That saved me a lot of time
  2. Assuming that I purchase a development kit. Would it be possible to modify bluetooth stack to achieve the objective?

Hi,

  I have inspect bluez-libs codes and seems that some modification can 
make it happen. However, would the devices it self return RSSI in 
floating point?
    
simple answer is no. The RSSI is a signed integer.

Regards

Marcel
