Example use of sd_ble_gap_scan_start

[paul_tanner]

I need to scan for nearby beacons. This was featured in the mbed examples but does not seem to be described anywhere else

I am using SDK12 at the moment.

I found the definition of this API but cannot find any example of its use

Is there one published anywhere? thx.

Hi,

Our BLE central examples use the function sd_ble_gap_scan_start(...)

You can find the BLE central examples in the folder

<SDK_InstallFolder>\examples\ble_central

I would recommend taking a look at the Nordic UART Service Client example, in the folder

<SDK_InstallFolder>\examples\ble_central\ble_app_uart_c

thx for that. sorry I forgot to mention that I had done this with a BLE peripheral on mbed which is why I was looking in the SDK's ble_peripheral folder. Maybe it's more appropriate to do it as central as I only want to know which beacons are present. It looks as if I need to connect to each to obtain its address. I tried the SDK 12.3 ble_app_uart_c example with s132 on 52-DK and so far it does not print the start message.
