Changing the advdata.name_type field causes my nrf51822 to stop advertising

[Chris Butler]

Hey folks,

I am currently trying to expose a local name for my nrf51822 chip but whenever i change it from NO_NAME to any of the other options and run the program it doesn't broadcast at all. The same happens when i set include_appearance to true.

For more info I am using a modified version of nrf51_ble_app_temp_master to send battery data as part of the manufacturer data in a beacon type configuration.

I am trying to expose the name so that we can easily single out our beacons on our receiver using the TI stack.

Any help would be appreciated. -Chris Butler

Check and see how much advertising data you are trying to send. There is a max packet size. I had trouble advertising multiple 128 bit uuids because I ran out of room.
