Creating a multiple sensor application on one chipset

Hi,

I'm trying to create with the S132 SD on the nRF52832 an application, that will provide 3 different kind of sensors. My goal is, that these sensors will appear as an independent sensor on any BLE scanner, using only one module. So far, I could not find any hint on the dev zone nor any related topic on that.

On my first attempt, I was able to implement multiple services, which will appear all listed on one sensor node in the scanner, but unfortunately, that's not what I really want. So, I'm not quite sure, if I maybe misunderstand something, what is possible and what not with having one hardware module/one nRF52 chip.

As far as I understood from the SD132 documentation, there "up to 20 concurrent Central / Peripheral links with Observer and Broadcaster" possible. So, for me it sounds, that I will be able to create up to 20 peripherals in parallel, which will also appear separately as an own sensor in a BLE scanner, even if they share the same MAC address of the module.

Am I wrong?

Is there any example available for multiple peripherals? I can only find multiple centrals links (clients).

I'm developing since some years now with the nRF5x chipset, starting from SDK version 9 and have even running ANT protocol in parallel on the S332 SD, but this bluetooth feature is now really something special to me.

I'm very happy for any response to it.
