Great! Maybe you can accept my answer by clicking the grey circle with a check mark in it?

Never mind. I got it working. Thanks!

So is there no way to get the peripheral to initiate pairing? Because the way it is working right now is I connect on my iPhone and it immediately asks to pair with the passkey. If you put in the wrong passkey it disconnects. If I get rid of the sd_ble_gap_authenticate it doesn't ask to pair. Can I put it in the BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED event so that it requests to pair once connected?

That should not help at all, you should have the exact same behavior. The events from the SoftDevice are sent to ble_evt_dispatch() first, it forwards the events to on_ble_evt() and more. You cannot pair before you connect. It is not possible. If you want to send a security request after you have connected you can use the BLE_GAP_EVT_CONNECTED event. Please be aware that it is the central that actually decides if it want to respond to the security request from the peripheral, and send a pairing request.

I moved it to ble_evt_disptach. Should that help? Or is there somewhere else I should put it? I need it to request pairing in order to connect.

I think you are using S130 2.0.0-7.alpha, together with SDK 11.0.0-2.alpha. I would recommend using S130 2.0.1, since this is a production release. Use this with SDK 11.0.0. It is available here. Under nRF5_SDK.

You are calling sd_ble_gap_authenticate() every time on_ble_evt(), which means that you send a security request to the central every time you get a BLE event from the SoftDevice. Remove it.

Yes, now it is working so that it requests the passkey when I select bond, but I still get an endless stream of messages. After the changes I made, one message repeats: "Received Security Request, bonding requested: True, mitm requested True." What does this mean?

Have you pressed Bond?

They are set to keyboard and display, but I have tried changing them and that doesn't make a difference

What have you set the IO capabilites in MCP to? Maybe this question can be of help.

I am able to pair the device on iOS using the passkey, and that works correctly. But when I try to use the Master Control Panel on Windows it does not request the passkey. I am using an older version of the Master Control Panel so that could be the issue but I'm not sure.

Could you elaborate a bit? What happends when you try to bond with iOS? Are you able to bond with iOS if you are not using passkey? Could you upload your complete project? Or a project that reproduces the behavior?
