Hi,

1) Yes, this is possible.

2) When you change BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_NONCONNECTABLE_NONSCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED, to BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_NONCONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED, it means that the advertiser(ble_app_beacon) can send a scan response packet. Scan response data is an optional "secondary" advertising payload which allows scanning devices that detect an advertising device to request a "second advertising packet". This allows you to send two advertising frames with a total payload of 62 bytes.

[quote user=""]Please let me know how to do this.[/quote]

I recommend adding the scan module to the beacon example. Take a look at e.g. ble_app_blinky_c on how the scan module is added there. PS: Since you are not connecting to another device, you don't need the discovery module.

BR,

Sigurd
