Configuring the major and minor through an app

[Ravin]

I am working on the nRF 52832.

I am using the softdevice s132nrf52611 and SDK 15. 

We are trying to develop a beacon whose major and minor values can be configured on a button press (we are thinking of changing the beacon mode to a connectable mode on button press), after the button press we are going to connect with the beacon through an app and configure the major and minor values. 

Which example in the SDK would be the best, to start from and how do i go about this whole project? 

I am new the nrf development, please guide me.

Hey, you should look at the ble_app_beacon example in the SDK. It should serve as a good starting point for developing a beacon application.

LOL - the clue is in the name!

Hey yeah i have gone through few of the examples from the SDK.

There is not example for updating the advertising details OTA. Or can we set the UICR values OTA? 

[Hakon]

It's nonconnectable by default, so if you want to update anything on the beacon device you will probably need to implement a separate service that you can connect to. Then you can write to that service the advertising parameters you want to change.

Hey thanks can you help me on how to write a service? 

Honestly i find it really hard to read the code.

There's this guide on how to write a BLE service. Just follow the instructions there.
