I have ported the example application of solar powered beacon without softdevice.
I just wanted to know if it was possible to have payload length greater than 37 and if I could send more data by</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:42:44 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22990/the-maximum-length-of-pdu-for-a-ble-beacon" /><item><title>RE: The maximum length of pdu for a ble beacon.</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/90470?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:42:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:1ef7d415-5cb1-4d5e-8e8e-2c833334b58f</guid><dc:creator>Sigurd</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you need more than 37 bytes(effectiv 31 bytes),  you also have the opportunity to put that data in the scan response packet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: The maximum length of pdu for a ble beacon.</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/90471?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jun 2017 10:11:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9bcf5794-408a-424d-b722-d63fa3ad7724</guid><dc:creator>endnode</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;No if you want to be compliant with BT SIG v4.0-4.2 (PDU max is 37B leaving effectively for Adv. data payload 31B).
