nrf51822-listen to beacon

[alikob]

Hello,

Is there any sample code in SDK example, to show how to use nrf51822, to both broadcast a beacon and also to listen to a beacon from another 51822. Also I am using BLE400 kit which uses S110 softdevice only. Thanks

Hi,

S110 softdevice is Peripheral-only stack, which cannot be used for scanning. However, it should not be any issue to switch to S130 softdevice, which support concurrent peripheral and central/observer role.

There is no specific examples in the SDK doing exactly what you are asking, but we do have BLE Central & Peripheral examples, that can do both advertising and scanning. Just remove anything related to connections, and modify the advertising data to match your beacon requirements.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Hi Jørgen,

I was able successfully, to build beacon and scanner using S130/SDK 10 , Thanks for your input. Ali
