Multi-link Central to mobile phone and multiple BLE dongles

[Ibery]

Hi I am developing a Multi-link Central that connect to a mobile phone and multiple BLE dongles. I use the Multi-link and BLE blinky in SDK 17, it works fine.

My problem is how to connect the mobile to the central? Is there an App example code for that?

Thanks

You could use the nRF Connect app on the phone. Open it and click on "ADVERTISER", then you can create a connectable advertising packet.

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply. I tried. The central cannot be connected to the nRF Connect App.

Try the following:

• In the nRF Connect App click on ADVERTISER and the "+" sign in the bottom right corner
• In Display name write whatever, e.g. "My advertiser"
• Click on ADD RECORD and choose Complete Local Name
• Click on OK
• Then, click on the advertiser you have just created to see more information, and notice the Complete Local Name. E.g. for me it was "Galaxy S7":

• In ..\nRF5_SDK\nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2\examples\ble_central\ble_app_multilink_central\main.c set m_target_periph_name to the Complete Local Name. E.g.:

static char const m_target_periph_name[] = "Galaxy S7";  

Best regards,
