Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals Lesson 5 Exercise 2 does not work

J0sh1101

Hi

I'm working on understanding how whitelist filtering is implemented and works in Bluetooth Low Energy. I'm currently following Exercise 2 in Lesson 5 of DevAcademy's Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals, but I can't get it to work - even using the solution provided by Nordic.

I've compiled and flashed the blefund_less5_exer2_solution to the nRF52-DK and I'm using the nRF Connect app on my phone for the scanning and GATT Client part. However, I can't connect. I have tried clearing the accept list and advertising in pairing mode, but the app returns a generic error: 133(0x85): GATT ERROR.

Here is also the output from the serial terminal:

Could someone test this to see if it’s just me experiencing this issue? Or, does anyone have suggestions for what I might be doing wrong?

 

Is there a sample code where a connected central initiates a pairing request?I currently have a central implementation of NUS (Nordic UART Service) and a peripheral implementation of NUS. My goal is to have the peripheral NUS whitelist only one specific central NUS and always pair with the same one, even if there are other central NUS devices nearby.

My understanding is that I need to pair the devices first in order to set up a filter accept list. When no longer needed, I could unpair the devices with bt_unpair() and clear the whitelist with bt_le_filter_accept_list_clear() and do a new advertisement with different parameters.

Is this correct?

SDK: v2.7.0-5cb85570ca43

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, that sounds about right.

    When you try with your phone, can you please make sure that there is no old bonding information stored on the phone for the nRF? That means, go to your phone settings -> Bluetooth, and look for the device in "known devices" or something like that. Then click something like "Forget device". After that, to be sure that the whitelist is properly deleted from your peripheral, erase the device (either in command line, using "nrfjprog --eraseall", and re-program it, or use the nRF Connect for VS Code, and click the small icon next to "Flash":

    To make sure that no old bonding information is stored on the nRF either. Then try again, knowing that both devices shouldn't contain any bonding information.

    If you are still struggling to get it to work, please provide your current application, and/or a sniffer trace of the connection attempt (you can use the nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE), and I can have a look.

    Best regards,
