Reading scan response packet with nRF Connect for Desktop Bluetooth Low Energy App

[Mike Austin (LPI)]

Is there anyway to capture and display a Scan Response packet using nRF Connect for Desktop and a standard nRF52-DK?

Alternatively, is there a sample I can flash to my DK that would allow me to output this via UART or something?

I'm trying to check that the Scan Response I'm sending out from my peripheral is as I want it to be, but can't work out the easiest way to grab this and display it at the Central end

Regards,

Mike

The desktop app does display the data from the scan response packet if you have the active scan checkbox checked. I don't know if you can somehow tell which part of the data is from the advertising packet and which is from the scan response though.

In my case I have manufacturer specific data in the advertising packet and the device name in scan response. I can see both in the app when scanning.

Hi

As Markku says, the Bluetooth Low Energy app will show the scan response data if there is any when pressing "details" in the scan tab. There is no way to tell what is the scan response packet or not here I'm afraid though, and you'll need a custom application to specifically read out scan response data separately if that's what you want.

 

Best regards,
