How to get BLE shield address.

[mohanvarma]

Hi All,

We have been working on Arduino Mega board with BLE shield. We want to get the address of the BLE shield and we are using aci library for that.

I found this API - lib_aci_get_address(). As per the lib_aci.cpp, this API is calling an internal API "acil_encode_cmd_get_address" and passing some global buffer as a parameter. I want to know is there a way to retrieve that buffer. I tried directly calling above internal API(acil_encode_cmd_get_address) with my own buffer(buffer of size 32 containing uint8_t) as a parameter, but it returned some random string.

I want to know the exact process to retrieve the BLE shield address. Are there other APIs that I have to call? lib_aci_get_address() API documentation does not specify anything.

Please give me a sample program if there is one. It would help me very much.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Use lib_aci_get_address. You will get a command response event with the device address. Refer to the product specification for the Response data format.
