Sniff mesh packet

Hi,

I'm wondering why I can't see any packet from example led_mesh in your's sniffer? Theoretically it's only Nonconnectable Advertisements or I miss some information?

Thanks Adam

[edit] Sniffer with other app works good, and mesh with 4 eval. work's too.

  • This is likely due to the fact that the example may be using an access address different from the access address for BTLE advertising. Once you change the access address in the mesh to match the BTLE access address you should be able to see it in the sniffer.

  • Hello!

    I already changed the access address to the BTLE advertising address, and also made sure to specify the packet format to be ADV_COMPATIBLE. I too can't see any mesh packets with the sniffer, although the mesh protocol is working. Has anyone made it work? I am failing to see any other options that need to be changed. Thank you.

  • Can you post a trace file. It should use standard advertising when the sizes are set to the standard advertising size i.e. the payload maximum size is 29 bytes (31(max payload for advertising packets - 1 byte for version and 1 byte for trickle handle)
