Hello, I´ve read that the CY8CKIT-042-BLE can handle only 4 slave connections, I´wondering if it

   

is other chip of Cypress can handle the maximum slaves, 7 plus one master.

   

 

   

Thanks

The BLE stack can handle only one connection at a time. The '4' AFAIK refers to the number of stored pairings.

Thnaks Hli, but do you know one chip can store the 7 slaves?

AFAIK none. This is a limitation of the BLE stack, not the devices itself.

Hallo Hli, 

   

Do you know where I can find the information from the BLE stack referring about  one BLE connection at a time

   

 

   

Regards,

It is not a limitation of the BLE protocol that prevents multiple slaves connecting to the same BLE master, but rather the Cypress chips themselves can only support one connection simultaneously (hardware constraint I think?). The new PSoC 6 chips that are in development seem to be able to do what you are wanting.
