pc-ble-driver Scan Response

[oneguy]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the pc-ble-driver "nrf-ble-driver-4.1.1-win_x86_32" to communicate with our nRF52-based embedded product. The fact that the PC and embedded implementations look nearly identical is much appreciated.

A question to scan response packets: I don't seem to pick them up - and I know they are being sent by our embedded product.

• In the forum there are discussions about a potential bug in the library. Correct?
• What does one need to do if one wants the scan response?

Any help and advise is appreciated.

Hi,

You need to enable "active scanning" in the example code in order to receive scan response packets.

Best regards,

Hi Jørgen,

Thank you, but I think I already do this...

static const ble_gap_scan_params_t m_scan_param =
{
#if NRF_SD_BLE_API >= 6
    0, // Set if accept extended advertising packetets.
    0, // Set if report inomplete reports.
#endif
    0, // Set if active scanning.
#if NRF_SD_BLE_API < 6
    0, // Set if selective scanning.
#endif
#if NRF_SD_BLE_API >= 6
BLE_GAP_SCAN_FP_ACCEPT_ALL,
BLE_GAP_PHY_1MBPS,

You need to set line 7 to 1 to enable active scanning. If you have it set to 0, active scanning will not be enabled and you will not receive any scan response packets.

Oh, I got confused about the comment :-) I will try!

Thank you

I can understand how that could happen! Let me know if this does not solve your issue :)
