Scan and advertise using s130 on nrf51822

[Huy Dinh]

Is it possible for a nrf51822 running s130 to advertise and scan at the same time?

I am trying to scan for other BLE devices using s130 softdevice, but cannot find an example for this. And the demo example provided with the Softdevice does not have an event handler register function, therefore I find it difficult to port the scanning code from s120 multilink_central example to the s130 demo. So how do I start programming the scanning function for the s130 softdevice?

You can start scaning with sd_ble_gap_scan_start and stop it with sd_ble_gap_scan_stop functions. And you should check BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORTevent when scan is started.

Thank you, and can the nrf51822 scans and advertise at the same time?

I wasn't able to do the scanning and advertising at the same time. I'm at the beginning of my project with nrf51822, so maybe it is possible or will be in next releases.

Thank you I managed to get the information and parsing the advertising data for the data I need.
