Hi Kiranj,

Have you tried to compare the advertisement data on the custom beacon that does not work, with the advertisement data sent from the ibeacon that does work. I guess you are filtering for some UUID or other information that you are missing (or have misconfigured) in the custom beacon.

yes,i have uploaded same firmware on both boards(nrf52832dk and custom made nrf52832 board) but dk board get scanned in esp32 and our board did not....but it is scanning in nrf52832 dk scanner and nrf connect app.but not in esp32.I have compared the raw data packet also it is exactly same for both boards.

I'm also (sic) thinking that ESP32 is not compatible with these tags

Nobody else is saying that.

Clearly your unit - which you have still not identified - is compatible, because it manages to see one of your tags!

So you need to investigate your ESP32 code to see where & why it is filtering-out the other tag.

But that, again, has nothing to do with Nordic.

You still haven't answered the question about signal levels.

[kiranj]

what do you mean by signal levels??

Seriously?

RSSI - the Received Signal Strength Indication.

It's how "loud" the RF signal is - if it's not "loud" enough, then a receiver won't be able to "hear" it.

I have checked it.rssi also "loud" enough to scan .

You're really not making it easy to help you.

Again, we can't read your mind; we can't see what stuff you've got; we can't see what you are doing, and we can't see what results you are getting.

It is up to you to provide clear and complete information.

How do you know what "loud enough" is?

Does nRFConnect show the same RSSI for both of your 2 Tags?
