question about advertising

[Nils Minor]

Hi,

i have some more, for me fundamental, questions and i hope some one can help me :)

1.) can i use the advertise function whenever i want or only in connection interval ? And how big is the size of payload i can send by the advertising function? Will it be send on every of three advertising channels?

2.) how should i handle received advertising packets, with which interrupt or function? So would it be possible that to more or less beacons will communicate over advertising data, so one device sends advertising data and other receives and can react.

3.) Did i understand it correctly, beacon only means advertising with apple "rules"?

best regards,

Nils

Hi Ulrich,

thanks for so much helpful informations :)

1.) But now i think i have a problem by handling my problem. I need both in my application, advertising and observing, there should be no connection between two ore more applications, the data exchange should be done by sending small data over advertising messages, and should be received by scanning for advertising. For this kind of data exchange i do not need any big data throughput. --> i am not sure if an central/observer can also advertise, but if it does, i would be able to use S120, correct?

2.) But it will sometimes be needed to connect my application to an smart-device so an central in BLE. I think this would not work to connect two centrals?

3.) Instead of using central/observer, would it not bee possible to use the S110 as peripheral with advertising, and make any workaround, i don't know if this is possible, which makes me abele to scan the advertising data, or is this not possible because of the BLE Stack?

4.) Ok i know the size of advertising data, is there limit in sending advertising data right behind other advertising data?

I think this is enough :D

Thanks and best regards, Nils
