S110 : Peer to peer Communication

[Kieran Affleck]

Hi,

I'm in a situation where I need to get two devices communicating using S110. I am aware that I can send using S110 and I am only referring to small transfer sizes.

Overall, is there any way I can use a S110 as a receiver?

Thanks

S110 is peripheral only. You can send data from it (advertise) and send/receive data in connection state. Although, S110 cannot initiate connection - central role device is needed to connect to advertising S110 device.

You can use S130 which can do both: central and peripheral roles.

I think using the S130 is a good suggestion. The alternative would be to use the timeslot api on the S110 (also available on S130) and run a proprietary protocol, or your own advertisement scanning scheme.

Okay, thank you both for your answers. Unfortunately, S130 isn't a option so would you be able to point me to an example of the timeslot api in use?

Thanks again

This one maybe; nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e\examples\ble_peripheral\experimental_ble_app_multiactivity_beacon. Note that this is for scanning / advertising in timeslots.
