Hello, I am using pca10040 and sdk12.2. I am using nrf_beacon code. I flashed the code in dk. I am able to scan the beacon but I n/a appears as default name in nrf connect app. How should I change this name? Thanks,

  • Hi Newbie.

    Take a look at this post, and specially Sigurd's answer. That should help solve your problem.

    In the beacon example the advertising data packet is already filled up with other data, so there is not enough room for the device name. Note that Beacons typically don't have a name, because there is little room left in the advertise packet after including the beacon payload. Beacons usually signal their intent and meaning by the URL or ID that they contain, and don't really need a local name.

    Best regards,
    Joakim.
