i am using the observer example but i am not seeing any advertising packet manufacturing data

[WilliamMcCoy21]

Hi,

I am using the observer example which is quite good but i also want to see the manufacturing data of the advertising packet, i tried adding the buf->data for the net_buf_simple data type but this is not giving me what i would expect. below is the data i received:

[DEVICE]: 58:7B:5B:46:0B:41 (random), AD evt type 0, Tx Pwr: 127, RSSI -41 Data status: 0, AD data len: 31 Name: William's S21 C:1 S:1 D:0 SR:0 E:0 Pri PHY: LE 1M, Sec PHY: No packets, Interval: 0x0000 (0 ms), SID: 255, buf data 536901229

is there a way to print the advertising data manufacturing data?

thanks,

William

Hi Karl,

Do i perhaps need to enable some form of filter or advanced advertising to collect the manufacturing data?

is there any chance there is an example of manufacture data collection? i have not been able to find any,

Regards,

William

You do not need a specific filter for this, no - using the bt_data_parse function with a case for the BT_DATA_MANUFACTURER_DATA will return manufacturer specific data so long as that datafield is populated in the advertising.

With the code you are currently using you are parsing the data in the scan response, but not as part of your device_found (which happens after a filter match).

I dont know of any such example unfortunately, but I could make you a minimal one tomorrow to highlight how you can get a hold of this information if you would like.

Best regards,
Karl
