 I have a few questions on how to receive data (from an iPhone app) as a a peripheral device on nrf8001 (with RedBearLab BLE shield). 
 Basically I am trying to receive data on an Rx pipe.

&lt;p&gt;I got this problem figured out (with help from a previous post here). Basically on the iOS side, you can call a write function and it does not limit your packet size. Apparently the receive function can take care everything. While this works between iOS devices, it cannot work this way with the nRF8001. You need to set the characteristic to RX_ACK_AUTO and the iOS device has to send you in packets of 20 bytes and waits for acknowledgement to send the next packet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
