How to connect Multiperipherals to one Central?

[vprasath]

Hi,

I want to connect Multi peripherals to one central and want to send the device name(peripheral which is connected) through the uart.

How do i get the device name which is connected?

Also i Want to know Can the central connect to more peripherals at the same time?

I was looking for the same and my solution was (sdk_17, ble_app_multilink_central):

#define NRF_BLE_SCAN_NAME_CNT = 2  //which overrides the def in sdk_config.h

static char const *m_target_periph_name[NRF_BLE_SCAN_NAME_CNT] = {"Nordic Blinky 1", "Nordic Blinky 2"};

Then in scan_init() replace 

err_code = nrf_ble_scan_filter_set(&m_scan, SCAN_NAME_FILTER, m_target_periph_name);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

with

for (int i=0; i< NRF_BLE_SCAN_NAME_CNT; i++){
     err_code = nrf_ble_scan_filter_set(&m_scan, SCAN_NAME_FILTER, m_target_periph_name[i]);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
