Scanning for beacon

[Prarthana]

Hello,

Is it possible to scan for beacon using any of the example programs provided by nordic ?

I'm using a beacon named Ruuvi-Tag that measure the temperature, pressure, humidity and speed, I want to scan for the readings from this beacon with the help of the nRF52840 board and then display the readings in a serial interface. Is it possible to do that ?

Any other suggestions are welcome. 

Regards

Yes it's possible. As long as the tag sending data using Bluetooth Low Energy, you should be able to scan and read the information. 

I would suggest you to get started with our SDK, understand how BLE advertising works and try some of our examples (ble_app_hrs - peripheral, ble_app_hrs_c - central) before you can modify the code to scan for the Ruuvi Tag.

Hello Hung, 

Im using the nrf52840 SD board and the ruuvi tag has nrf52832 SOC, is it possible to pair them and read the sensor values and display it on the serial port É

Depends on what code is running on the Ruuvi tag. Please study the ble_app_hrs_c and ble_app_hrs. You can get to understand how the Ruuvi tag work by using the nRFConnect app on the phone (Android/iOS) to scan and read the data as well.
