https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/23913/read-data-advertised-by-the-beaconDear Nordic, I need to read the data being advertised by a particular beacon and save it to another variable. Is there a way to do it..?en-USTelligent Community 13Sat, 29 Jul 2017 15:22:41 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/94121?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 29 Jul 2017 15:22:41 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7dae4805-1d03-41e5-993b-005eb6ca8ec3endnode<p>Nice, so you have some base firmware implementing GAP Observer/Central role which is capable of scanning and receives <code>BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT</code> events?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/94120?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 29 Jul 2017 12:35:04 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:150f5b5d-1ba0-4c41-8ca0-782965663d49arjun<p>Thank You @endnode. I am using nRF52 DK PCA 10040 board. Since I was not sure on how to go about reading the data from the beacon, I haven&#39;t zeroed in on the base example.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/94119?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 29 Jul 2017 11:09:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:80e2f5f8-10ef-4ba6-aac4-0b3057a726f2endnode<p>Sure indeed, you will get the data in structure upon receiving of <code>BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT</code> event. See <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s132.api.v4.0.2/group___b_l_e___g_a_p___s_c_a_n___m_s_c.html">message sequence chart here</a> and <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s332.api.v4.0.2/structble__gap__evt__adv__report__t.html">structure description here</a> on Nordic Infocenter. Unfortunately you had provided basically zero context of your question (like which nRF5x chip you have, what is target board, what BLE stack you run/want to run, what FW project example you start from etc.) so it&#39;s hard to help you more;)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
