Hi,

Many thanks. I had managed to change the advertisement data (major and minor values) based on the push button input.Now, I wanted to scan the advertised data from nearby nrf51-dk and if the data (UUID, major and minor values) matches, i need to light up an on-board LED. I understand we need to use this function

 err_code = sd_ble_gap_scan_start(&m_scan_param);

where m_scan_param is defined as follows static const ble_gap_scan_params_t m_scan_param = { SCAN_REQUEST, SCAN_WHITELIST_ONLY, NULL, (uint16_t)SCAN_INTERVAL, (uint16_t)SCAN_WINDOW, SCAN_TIMEOUT };

Am wondering how this function will return the scanned data advertised by the nearby beacon. Could you please advise me on this how to read the scanned data and manipulate on it?

Hi.

You are nearly there! All you need to do is to add a function call to change your advertising when pushing the button.

err_code = ble_advdata_set(&advdata, NULL);

Before you call this function, change the advdata variable to include what you want.

See the advertising tutorial for a more info on advertising.
