BLE Scan Results.

[Vaibhav_Bansal]

Hi

I am new to all nordic BLE modules, currently working on nrf52832 eval board. I am trying to scan the BLE Beacons "EDDYSTONE" and their RSSI level for my tracking application. I am trying some examples provided in SDK but get confused. Any reference example for help will be appreciated.

Hi,

The ble_app_beacon example is a BLE peripheral example, which means that you would need a central application that scans the device and reports the RSSI. We don't have an example that does exactly that, which means that you would need to develop one. Ble_app_uart_c is a good starting point for this. Alternatively, you can use the nRF Beacon for Eddystone app that is available on Google Play for Andriod. 

Best regards

Hi

Through devzone posts I am able to achieve that. But issue is that it keeps updating the scan results or we can say it won't stop scanning, for handling that I had created some interrupt buttons in my code. My application is like my ble will scan for let say 4 sec then it will return the number of scan results with RSSI, device ID of all scanned devices once. Then wait for interrupt for next scan. As in my current code it will provide rssi till the stop button pressed.

You can call sd_ble_gap_adv_stop when you want the application to stop scanning.

I was able to stop it, but point is it won't work like normal BLE where the number of scan results are there with device ID and RSSI, untill I press the STOP button (I configured), it repeatedly gives the peer address and rssi of same devices.

Hi,

Could you share your project?
