nrf51 dk with 51422 (10028) as 4.0 not 4.1 device

[vlad]

I only have Bluetooth 4.0 scanners and I bought nrf51 dk with 51422 device (10028) that seems to work as 4.1 Bluetooth. I tried sdk12 s130 and sdk8 s110 beacon examples my scanners doesn't see it. I had an impression I could program it in 4.0 mode. Is it an example app with 4.0 not 4.1? If not is it a set of API commands specific to 4.0 only standard?

Thank you,

Vlad.

A Bluetooth 4.0 scanner should not have any problem finding your nRF51-DK running Bluetooth 4.1. There are no API commands to run the SoftDevice as only Bleutooth 4.0

Is this a USB dongle? If so, what operating system are you using?

Are you able to see the nRF51-DK if you scan for it using a smartphone?

I use nrf51 development kit on Windows 7. I have a number of scanner apps on iPad mini and ipad2, including Nordic Connect app, I also tried windows 8 smart phone , Windows 7 desktop and Mac book pro. Both iPads have the best scanning abilities so far.

My scanners have found stm32 6v1m dongle supposedly running 4.1 beacon app, however fail to find the same app running 4.0 , not nrf51-dk.

Which of these scanners are having problem finding the beacon?
