major problem with Bluefruit nRF52 rx callback Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I am using a feather nrf52840 express and trying to use rx callback to process bleuart data . My application sends continuous short messages to the feather approximately every 600ms, but even at a higher interval this problem exists. The rx callback will process data for around ten seconds but then will stop for around a second, then frequently but not always process data for a second or two, stop again for a second, then process data again for around ten seconds and repeat the stop behavior. If I use the loop instead of the rx callback it processes data much more consistently. I wanted to use the rx callback because I can tell which connection handle the data is received on. Is there either a fix for this or a way to get the connection handle for received data in the loop?

thanks

can someone from Adafruit confirm if this is a bug? I looked at github and I can't determine. Is it a softdevice issue? If so why does the loop perform better than the rx callback?

I wonder if it would make sense to post the code, so that people might have some idea what you are talking about.

the code is a simple read similar to the bluart examples. Unfortunately I cannot post the rest of it. The central sends less than 20 bytes every 600ms. If I use a rx callback I get the behavior described. If I read in the loop instead the performance is much better.
