Getting name and id from advertisers

[N3210]

Hi there

First I tell you what I'm, trying to do...

I want to made a connection between a robot and a pc. Over this connection I want to program the robot with new software.

The clue is that there are multiple robots with a dongle with the same services. Now i want to connect my pc with the correct robot. So i have to know the name and

also his uuid to connect to him (if i need uuid to connect and nothing else).

On the PC side i'm also using a nrf52840 Dongle

How can i get the number and name from advertising dongle for my central dongle while advertising/scanning ?

Is this even possible ?

If yes...how ?

I'm working with ble_app_uart example from sdk15.3 on central and peripheral. The service i'm using is NUS.

I'm using s140.

Thanks for every response.

greetings N3210

Hi

You do this during service discovery. Again, the custom BLE service example explains how to decide what is shown to a central during service discovery. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any problems using the ble_app_uart_c example, could you provide a link to where you read this? I think the ble_app_uart example should be fine for your central. 

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks for your answer Simon !

About the problem with nrf52840 Dongle with ble_app_uart_c example  and usb i read here:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/41714/ble-central-uart-example-for-pca10059-nrf52840-dongle/162558#162558

Steven Grunza told there " On the PCA10059 the UART does not connect to the USB bus " but I have to use the USB interface.

Maybe I misunderstand something !

Also I have to declare RX_, TX_, RTS_ and CTS_PIN_NUMBER ..but i don't find those for pca10059 usb connector.
