Nordic Beacons

[Usman Rashid]

I have your NRF52 DK and beacons.

I want to make the case so that my Nordic NRF52 DK will get data from Nordic beacons and forwarded that data on the UART port of PC.

You have one example of displaying data using UART when it is send from mobile phone but I want to recreate that case such that it display data it will get from the beacon.

I saw that you have on example of uart central in the examples section could you tell me what does it do  ?  Can I recreate the case so that using your NRF connect on PC I can connect to Nordic  beacons that will send the data that I can easily view on my computer screen using termite ?

Could you help me regarding this  ?

Hi, I would think that the \ble_central examples in the nRF5 SDK can almost do what you want already, you would need to change the handling of BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT to output the data on UART instead of trying to connect to the peripheral.

You can send me the link of ble_central example where the example is explained e.g. which block is doing what? 

Is the ble_central example is been explained in some tutorials  ? 

Or if you can tell me that what that code is actually doing and how can I test it  ? if possible  ?
