Nrfconnect stops scanning after some time interval when I run ble_app_beacon example on nrf52832 . How do I change my code so that the nrfconnect app scans beacons indefinitely

There was an option in nrf connect that lets us scan indefinitely. I finally got it.

Hi.

I'm afraid that there isn't any changes you can do in the nRF Connect app to make it scan continuously. If that is what you want, you'll need to create your own application.

[quote user=""]How do I reduce the manuf_specific_data length in ble_app_beacon example. ?[/quote]

    ble_advdata_manuf_data_t manuf_specific_data;

    manuf_specific_data.company_identifier = APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER;
    manuf_specific_data.data.p_data = (uint8_t *) m_beacon_info;
    manuf_specific_data.data.size   = APP_BEACON_INFO_LENGTH;

There is a very own variable for the manuf_specific_data lenght, which is the total length of information advertised by the Beacon.

You can change the content of the advertising data, or the lenght just as you please. Note that the advertising packet can not exceed 31 bytes of data.

Best regards,
Joakim
