The UART code has nothing to do with BLE scanning!

Or are you asking how to see the usual DK (pca10056) UART output when running on a Dongle (pca10059) ?

For that, see: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/37430/moving-from-pca10056-to-pca10059

[quote userid="83196" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/52766/beacon-scanner-development"]if there is another method available for sacnning those beacons[/quote]

"Scanning for beacons" is just a standard matter of listening for Advertising packets - every Central example has to do that in order to find Peripherals!

There seems to have been a sudden outbreak of these questions lately:
