Can I add services (HID, HRS, or NUS) to the beacon example?

[MANGO]

• Custom Board with MCU NordicSemi nRF51822-QFAA

• Softdevice S110 7.1

• IAR for ARM 7.1

• SDK 7.2 using a merged service (Beacon Example)

• Testing with iPhone 5S, 6 and iPad air (iOS 8.1.3)

/**************************************************************************/

Hi, I was testing the beacon example. I'm new with the beacon so please understand my

question if it's absurd.

I want to add services (HID, HRS, or NUS) to this beacon example.

This is the scenario I want.

/**************************************************************************/

When my board is powered, the board advertises broadly.

My custom board has a temperature sensor. Before connecting to the phone,

the temperature is advertised to the phone after each 5 minutes.

After when the board is connected to a phone, it acts as a keyboard by using the

HID keyboard service.

/**************************************************************************/

Could this be possible?

After merging services to the beacon, what happens to the beacon's event?

(since the board doesn't advertise after connection)

-Regards, Mango922

You should start the other way around. Start with the HID example and then set up a beacon service in that example. Beacon is just non-connectable advertising and it is possible to have it act as a beacon while in a connection with the Softdevice S110 7.1 and later.
