Proximity Monitor

[Gabriel]

Hi there,

Im wondering if its possible to implement a proximity monitor with the new s120. Having one nrf51822 acting as a central and several (up to 8 I guess) nrf51822 only advertising.

With the s120 scanning is possible to get the RSSI? and also distinguish between different MACs? or how do you think is better way to do that?

Thanks!!;) ;)

You can do scanning with the S120, and when doing so, you'll get back an ADV_REPORT for each advertising packet received. This will include the address the advertiser used, along with the RSSI. Take a look at the definition of the struct ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t.

Hi Ole, Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me if it is also possible to obtain with the s120 the service data being advertised by a peripheral? Basically what I am doing in the peripheral side is include the battery level in the advertising package. So I need to read this value in the central side without connect. Like the nRF Master Control Panel app does. Thank you
