BLE sniffer works for 1 second, and then lights off...

Post by Pfonseca »

Hi,

I have the ble sniffer (V2.0, black board), and I can sniff on wireshark (3.6.5), with Nordic package 4.1.0 (python 3.10.4)

The problem is that the moment the master / slave establish contact and start transmitting, the sniffer just stops working (leds go out, no more blinking, nothing). The sniffing only lasts for 1 second or so, and then it is like the board died.

It takes something like 30 seconds for the dongle to wake up again... (for leds to light up again).

Any idea?

(update: now it simply dies after 1 seconds of starting any sniffing at all; like the board is broken...)

It does sound like the board is shorting out.

What voltage do you see on the USB and 3V pins after the board stops working?
