nRF sniffer(1.0.1) only shows advertisements

Dear team,

Our customer using "nRF51422 Development KiT8PCA10028)" with "ble-sniffer_nRF51822_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.hex".

They can check advertising packets, but, they cannot check other packets. They confirmed by a production that 2 devices are communicating.

We know this phenomenon to have been improved in 0.9.6.

Is special setting somewhat necessary to get a packet besides the advertising packet?

Best Regards,

Parents
  • Are they selecting what peripheral device to follow? This procedure should be followed:

    1. Start the sniffer
    2. Start advertising
    3. Select what device the Sniffer should follow. There should be an x next to the device. It can be selected by using 0-9, or by using arrow keys+enter.
    4. Press w.
    5. Start scanning
    6. Now the sniffer should be able to follow the connection, and wireshark should show the packet transactions.
