Is there a Beacon Scanner example project

[Tiger]

Hello ,

I'm trying create a beacon Scanner. I'm using the s130 protocol stack on the nRF51 DK , namely the nRF51422 SoC and PCA10028.

what I'm trying to achieve is to display beacon details such as major , minor and rssi on the UART serial .

So is there any sample project that I can built upon ?

Unfortunately, there is not beacon scanner example in the SDK. However, in the "central" folder there are several examples that do scanning. Perhaps the example ble_app_uart_c can be a good starting point?

Thanks , I have been looking into that but it doesn't seem to pick up any Bluetooth devices at all !! it just prints that Uart_c Scan started .

Also can you kindly guide me to some important functions that I can look at for my application especially that my application won't want to connect or any display registered UUID's which I think most of the central examples do

ble_app_uart_c looks for devices with proprietary NUS (Nordic Uart Service) UUID. When ble_app_uart_c is scanning, it will pick up/see all advertisers, but if the received advertising signal doesn't have the NUS UUID, it will not connect. This is of course possible to change in the code: main.c --> on_ble_evt() --> BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT.

Hello, I also have a similar problem where I tried to remove the  if (is_uuid_present(&m_nus_uuid, p_adv_report)) in on_ble_evt() --> BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT but it still not getting any data. Please suggest a solution

Does the application successfully start scanning?
