cannot see "Nordic_RSC" when running ble_app_rscs_pca10056_s140

[weightwatcherphil]

I am using Segger Embedded Studio and the nrf52840 development kit.

I can run the BLE peripheral examples using SDK 15 and s140 V6  "blinky" and " cscs" .

but the ble_app_rscs_pca10056_s140 does not seem to work.  When I run nRF connect on my iphone 5 I cannot see the device "Nordic_RSC".

I am running IOS 11.4

Thanks Phil

Hi Phil.

If we take a look at the SDK v15.0.0 release notes, we can read that:

*** New features
***************** 
 
** BLE **
- Extended advertising and selection of advertising PHYs can now be 
  configured using the advertising module (ble_advertising
- Running Speed and Cadence Service Application (ble_app_rscs) 
  now advertises using extended advertising. Note that this makes it 
  incompatible with devices that do not support extended advertising.

 I'm pretty sure that the iPhone 5 does not support extended advertising, so my guess would be that is the reason why you can't see the device.

Best regards,
Joakim.

thanks .  I understand.

ble_app_hrs works and I can see graph and finger numbers

ble_app_blinky works and I can control led and see switch

ble_app_cscs works and I can see numbers for speed , distance , gear ratio, etc.

ble_app_bps gives me Nordic_BPS but it does not work with blood press app

ble_app_hts gives me Nordic_HTS but does not work with health temperature app.

ble_app_gls gives me Nordic_Glucose but does not work with glucose monitor app.

The Iphone 5S never asks to pair or bond and maybe it does not support encryption.

Do you know if iphone 5S should work with  BPS,HTS,Glucose ?

thanks

ble_app_uart gives me Nordic_uart and after I set my terminal to send CR & LF on return I could see characters I typed in the nrf toolbox UART app
