Modify iBeacon Data

[Jaewon]

Hello,

I have nrf51822 based Board,

and I need to make Android app for scan and modify Beacon's data.

I found "nRF Beacon" App's source code in GitHub,

and I try to change my Beacon's Data with this app.

but I can only scan for this beacon, but I cannot scan in "Update Mode" (with this app, i can only scan beacon)

so, i find "nRF Connect" app, this app can scan and modify Beacon's Data.

unfortunately, this app didn't provide source code.

This is my first project with beacon, so I don't know how to start this project.

can you advice me how to modify beacon's data?

If you want modify the data of the beacon module, you have to put the beacon into configuration mode. However the userguide for the nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit says the following: "While the app works with beacons from any manufacturer, the Configuration Mode is available only on the Nordic Beacon provided in this kit because it’s preloaded with firmware from Nordic Semiconductor."

Thus, you need an nRF51 beacon that is shipped with beacon FW. However the source code for the nrf Toolbox app can be found here, which provides much of the same functionality as the nRF Connect app.

Cheers, Simon
