nRF51822 discovered only by Nordic dongle

[Nicola]

Hi all, I have an external dongle (Bluegiga) that is scanning for BLE devices. My problem is this: all the BLE devices in my room are showed correctly except my nRF51822 (development kit) where is running the "heart rate monitor" demo, and I cannot understand why. The weird thing is that I can detect correctly my nRF51822 using the Nordic Master Control Panel and the dongle provided with the development kit. Do you have any idea of why I cannot detect the nRF51822 with my Bluegiga dongle?

thanks,

I don't have a lot of experience with the BlueGiga dongle, but could it be that it does some filtering for instance based on address type? I would therefore recommend you to check whether you can discover your kit with either an iPhone, an Android device or any other production device having Bluetooth low energy.

Thanks Ole, I didn't find that discussion before. I just tried it and it works! Thanks a lot
