Is it possible to detect that the beacon is scanned?

[Adam]

Hi,

I'm using nRF51822 Beacon v1.1.0. Is it possible to detect that the beacon is being scanned? Is there any event generated during this process that I can catch?

The beacon can be scanned if the beacon is transmitting scannable (ADV_DISCOVER_IND/ADV_SCAN_IND)advertisements instead of (ADV_NON_CONN_IND).

If the beacon is using the github example which has examples for scannable advertisements and support for the Scan Request event. This scan request event will signal to the beacon that it has been scanned.

The code should work with the beacon kit, nRF51-EK, nRF51-DK and nRF51-Dongle.
