How to read accelerometer data from BLE beacon

RE: How to read accelerometer data from BLE beacon

For someone who is exploring bluez and using nordic devices

I found the answer and it's "le_advertising_info" API of buez gives the raw data packets in bytes which is broadcasted by BLE beacons.

You can find data[] variable which contains raw data in hex values.

Parsing this raw data is a different thing altogether, but still i can get the raw bytes for which i have to write a data parser.

Thanks,

Mayank

That is an entirely separate question!

That would involve using one of the SDK "Central" examples ...

Note that there is also the Nordic nRF Connect app for use in testing & development:

Hi awneil,

I also wanted to ask that is there any application in nrf_SDK which i can use to get accelerometer data of beacon?

That's really a question for Bluez - nothing to do with Nordic!
