nRF51 dongle scan and advertise (mbed coding)

[adrian_ng]

Hi ,

I have 2 nrf51 dongle compiled with a code which can scan and advertise ibeacon constantly. Whenever receive advertisement packet from each other , they are able to print out the uuid,major,minor and rssi value of the received packets.

My next task is to advertise out the scanned Rssi (probably highest three in a certain time) and the mac address/uuid of that scanned device. Example, dongle A receive advertisement packet from dongle B , dongleA will then advertise out an advertisement packet that consist of information of the dongleB's Mac address/uuid and the measured Rssi value. Any way i can change the advertisement packet in (mbed coding) to achieve this or any other advice?

Thank you.

You should use the MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_DATA data type. It allows you to put any data you want into the advertising packet. You can have a look at BLE_iBeacon for how it is used.
