Code getting stuck upon connecting to it with nRFConnect

[Ameer Usman]

I was using a sample code from here which was posted by Jørgen Holmefjord  at the link: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/43750/to-display-uuid-major-minor-values-and-company-identifier-using-ble_app_proximity-example/171796#171796

It is to an extent fulfilling me needs with a bit of variation but the problem I am facing is that after connecting to the BLE device the LED on the development kit stays on and after disconnecting the beacon is no more transmitting packets and is not visible (I believe it stops advertising)

I believe there is a configuration problem but I cant put my finger on it.

Below is the file: (can be compiled by putting it in the ble_app_proximity folder to run it)

ble_app_proximity_beacon.zip

Feel free to ask questions for any clarification

Hi,

The example does not restart advertising when you disconnect. You can do this by adding advertising_start(false); in the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event in ble_evt_handler(). Note that if you want the beacon to continue advertising while connected, this must also be handled by you in the code.

Best regards,
Jørgen

I inserted advertising start in the Disconnection ble_evt_handler:

case BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED:
        {
            bool erase_bonds;
            NRF_LOG_INFO("Disconnected.");
            
            advertising_start(erase_bonds); //added by AUAK
            
            break;
        }
