Hi Brian,

Please send for the nRF52DK

Hello Gavin,

No problem. I can send the verified binary of the example for you. If you have any Nordic DK, just let me know what it is(nRF52DK or nRF52840DK, or anything else)and I can share the binary. (or you can send the binary for any of DKs the other way around and then I can verify here..)

Hi Brian,

I did wait but still nothing....I am trying another piece of code and will advise

Hello Gavin,

It will show like that at first, but as I told you before, TLM will be shown up after idle timeout defined 30seconds. Could you wait and let me know the result? 🙂

Hi Brian,

Attached is what I am seeing on my Android Tablet

The Raw Data 0x0201040303AAFE1416AAFE1000007A657068797270726F6A65637408 does not show any of the TLM Data,

My tablet is very old I will try a new Android Device tomorrow

Ah that might be the issue, I have been using an iPhone, let me try on an Android Device...

Thanks. Initially, I verified it with the application(nRF Connect 4.26.1) for Android. Have you tried it?

I just tested it on Apple phone and confirmed it's almost same as yours. I am internally checking why this is not parsed and will keep you updated soon.

However, now that the example is already there, if the purpose is to see if it's TLM type and validify of the data on your beacon, you can verify it on Android.

If not, could you tell me what we can assist for you?

I am using the nrF Connect Application, version 2.6.7

Brian Kim — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 07:50:54 GMT

That's weird. There must be something wrong then.

I will try again with the example code and the application you are using.

What mobile application do you use for this?

Hi Brian,

No problems at all, I used the example and all I could see what what I attached, still can't see the TLM Data even though I used the original Zephyr Example code

Hello Gavo,

Sorry for not noticing this reopen.Please allow a quick question?

Q1. I believe you could see TLM data using the example I shared before? correct?

Q2. If yes, are you struggling to apply it to your application and this is your current issue?

Best regards,

Brian

I also still can't see the TLM Data, maybe I have an issue with the Scanner and should be using something else?

Hi Brian,

My apologies, had a chance today to test is, please see attached screen shots

Sure, Gavin. Please refer below:

TLM will be shown up after idle timeout defined 30seconds.

Hi Brian,

Do you have a link to the example code please? Yes my issue is the TLM data not showing up in the scanner side

RE: Zephyr TLM Eddystone Beacon

Brian Kim — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:23:14 GMT

Hello Gavin,

Please allow me two questions for better support.

-. Eddystone is deprecated since 2010 by Google. Are you aware of this and do you still want to use it?

-. According to your description, it sounds like that TLM frame is not shown on the scanner side. Is this your main issue?

I just ran the Zephyr Eddystone example and see it works without any issue. Could you correct me if I missed your point?

Hello,

Can you as first step use (for instance) the BLE app in nRF Connect for Desktop to view the content of the advertisement packet?
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_nrfconnect_ble/UG/nRF_Connect_BLE/nRF_Connect_Connecting_devices.html

That said, reading about eddystone on the web I get the impression that this technology have not been maintained for some time.
