Make the nRF51822 send multiple packets.

Is it possible to make the nRF51822 beacon send multiple packets to the devices it connects to? The example code in the beacon kit sends one UUID, but I need to send information buried in multiple UUIDs or payloads.

  • Usually, a beacon doesn't connect to anything. It just broadcasts the same information over and over.

    To send more data you can change the content of the information that is broadcasted, or you would have to go into an actual connection. Then you could send much more data.

    You could also look into scan request and scan response, which will give you the option to send one additional packet, without beeing in a connection.
