Developing a Beacon

[dlasher]

Requirements:

Transmit an advertising packet that can be received by a native IOS App & a native Android App.

Using an nRF52810, I need to set it to Advertising (non-con/ -scan) and transmit an advertising packet containing:

• A specific company identifier (Not Apple)
• Unique serial number
• Temperature data
• Battery voltage

Use a minimum amount of power and transmit a minimum amount data.

 

Assumptions:

• This would be considered a Beacon.
• Manufacturer Specific data would contain the “The Company Identifier” and the UUID that would contain the serial number.

 

Questions:

1. Can the nRF52810 be coded so that the Battery voltage and Temperature data is embedded in the UUID along with the serial number?

 

2. IF not, can the nRF52810 be coded so that the Major Parameter is the Battery voltage and Minor Parameter is the Temperature data?

 

3. Can an IOS app be designed to receive an advertising packet that is not using the Apple Company Identifier? App needs to filter out all Company Identifiers that are not the specific one. (This question is not pertaining to Nordic but hoping someone may know.)

 

Yes, I am a pre-noob.

Answers and advisement would be highly appreciated!

Thank You!
