Disable Scan Req

[Mia]

Hi,

Where are scan requests sent? I'm trying to find the function that does this because I would like to disable it.

I only want to connect with a peripheral based strictly on its advertising data.  I do not want any scan requests sent.

Thanks,

Mia

A scanner that sends scan requests is called an active scanner.

ble_app_hrs_c, main.c:

static void scan_start(void)
{
  ...  

    m_scan_param.active   = 0; // Setting "active" to 0, will disable scan requests. 
    m_scan_param.interval = SCAN_INTERVAL;
    m_scan_param.window   = SCAN_WINDOW;

  ...
}

 

It is defined the following way:

ble_gap.h

/**@brief GAP scanning parameters. */
typedef struct
{
 ...
  uint8_t               active                 : 1; /**< If 1, perform active scanning by sending scan requests.
                                                         This parameter is ignored when used with @ref sd_ble_gap_connect. */
  ...
} ble_gap_scan_params_t;

Kristin,

That worked perfect. Thanks for the explanation!
