TxEddystone-UID Measured Power

[devunwired]

I'm curious of the rationale for choosing +16dBm as the transmit power in the TxEddystone-UID example.

I'm assuming this is a guess, since the API doesn't expose a way to know what the MIN, LOW, MEDIUM, etc. constants translate to for a given device (wouldn't that be nice??)…as a guess, this seems high. Is the intent to force the beacon to the top of the range sort?

If it's a guess or derived from some experiement, it would probably be good to document/comment it as such. Many folks will copy that code wholesale.

You got me -- that was a lazy convenience. I can't be sure right now but I think the 0-meter power of medium is closer to about -25 dBm on something like a Nexus 6. I'll check tomorrow when I'm back in the lab and make it real. Thanks for making me honest. :-)

That's pretty close to what I've estimated on the N6 as well.
