Use a beacon to look for other beacons?

On mbed? In the mbed compiler? On a mkit? I think you should add a new question and link to this one if it is relevant. Please include what hardware you are using and what you are trying to do.

I have unzipped it to the folder you show above but i am not able to build it i get 5 errors all for missing files..

D:\Keil_v5\ARM\Device\nRF51_SDK_7.1.0\components\drivers_nrf\hal\nrf51.h(119): error: #5: cannot open source input file "core_cm0.h": No such file or directory

By chance do you know if I can accomplish this on mbed? I have the nRF51 (with the nRF51422) Dongle for testing...

nRF51822 or nRF51422 can be used. If you don't use ANT, you should use nRF51822.
I have made an example with the S130 0.9.0-1 alpha. It is advertising and scanning.

Here is my project. I used SDK 7.1.0 (S130 0.9.0-1 alpha headers), and PCA10001.

Extract it to C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Device\SDK7.1.0\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral\experimental

It has a advertising interval of 500 ms.

It toggles LED 1 every time it receives an advertising packet from device address search[]

Do you know of a good code examples of this in the S130 apps?

You need to set up a device that will both:

Broadcast beacon data
Scan for other devices

The S130 soft device seems capable of doing this.
