Developing Beacon and Scanner using nrf52 dongle & nrf52840 DK respectively

[kaushik24psl]

HI as i am new to nrf nordic semiconductor development i have some quetsions regarding application im developing

I am trying to develop Ble application where nRF 52 will be the beacon and nRF 52840 DK will be the scanner module.

1.I have used nRF_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345/examples/ble_pheripheral/ble_app_beacon/pca10056/s140 program form nRF 52 dongle to operate it as a beacon when code is uploaded device gets detected on mobile nrf beacon app..and also by using printf i can varify the data which is being transmitted by beacon..

2.Second thing is i have nRF 52840 DK which i want to use it as a scanner for beacons (nRF52 dongles) .when beacons come in range of scanner it should detect the beacons and advertise      the report accordinly in debug terminal.

   For scanner application i have tried using 3 codes

1.ble_app_multipheripheral_pca10056

2.ble_app_multilinkclient_pca10056

3.ble_app_uart_c_pca10056

I am not sure about which one will work properly.as far as i tried and tested multipheripheral worked ok with nrf blinky clients.

so i want help from your side in making nRf52840 as scanner using some modifications in this codes..and so that it can scan any no of beacons of nRF52 dongles.

A beacon cannot tell when it is in range of a scanner!

The name comes from the normal English word "beacon";  it is some thing which just shines - like a lighthouse.

Yea ur correct when beacon comes in range of scanner it should get detected .thats why i want to make the scanner using above code to detect those beacons .

we dont want beacons to tell when it is in range of scanner ..

as beacon gets connected to scanner ,scanner should either advertise the data receveid from beacon that is rssi value and UUID.and make the on mode LEDs active whan beacon is in range ..thats it..

jst go through above code and let me know if any changes required ..i dose not build because of nrf_clock.c problem.which you had highlighted above in your thread

Have you been through it?

What problem, exactly?

What have you done to resolve that problem?

[kaushik24psl]

To resolve this problem I have downloaded nrf_clock.c form Github and paste into the modules/ nrfx/drivers/src... and tried to build the code it gives error

as mentioned in abovethread it seems this nrf_clock.c cannot be used in nRF 15.3 SDk as it is split in this sdks

Don't go downloading random files from Github.

Download the SDK from the Nordic site.

Start with some simple examples to learn how to use the tools!
