ble_thread_dyn_mtd_scanner potential issue

[Fabien Comte]

Hello,

I use ble_thread_dyn_mtd_scanner with BLE beacons but there is never any advertising received ?

If i check with my smartphone, they are detected.

Any idea please ?

Hi,

Did you press BSP_BUTTON_0 to trigger a BLE scan, as stated in step 10 of the example testing documentation?

I just verified that the example scans and reports found devices.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Sorry for my late response (project was paused). How can i transform this exemple to create automatically a network without a border router ?

I guess that i have to migrate from MTD to FTD but how ? And how to fully set network programmatically ?

Thank you.

I would not recommend running BLE scanner and full Thread device (router role) concurrently on the same device. There is only one radio available, if much radio time is spent with scanning for BLE devices, there is low probability of the Thread device getting enough radio time to receive packets in the mesh. Please have a look at this page. This is the reason that the BLE scanning example implements only MTD/SED and not FTD.
