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 Stefan,

thanks for your answer. I think now i understand it correctly but i am not able to find a solution for my problem. But i know what i need i need the S110 v7.0 where i can use the functionality of a direct link to a central and i can send advertising packets. But how would it be possible to get the scan functionality of the S120 while using the S110 ? So i can send and receive Advertising packets and can build a mesh like CSR did it with their low power BLE chips.

In your attached thread there is no information for me it ended up by calling OLE via PM should i do this too?

I used nrf51822 in past is there a new version of the chip?

I am realy interested in using nordic chip with BLE mesh functionality, i think it must be possible by using your chip, and it is nicer to handle an program with your support thats why i want to use it again.

Thanks and best regards, Nils :)

What you are looking for is perhaps the upcoming BLE S130 softdevice. It will be capable of 3-link central + concurrent peripheral role. Having nodes as both central and peripheral enables BLE mesh network. However, your may consider as well to use the S130 as Observer+broadcaster, just as an idea.

The first S130 alpha release is scheduled for first week of July.

So it will be possible to use it as a peripheral with the functionality of observing? That sounds great Release sound excellent to me, are there any more informations like a quick overview?

Thanks this is i wanted to hear :)

I do not have more information to share about the S130 at this point. You may contact your Nordic's sales representative, in case he would have more information to share, but otherwise we would have to wait for the release.
