NERF52832 having both beacon transmitter and receiver in a single chip

[AkshayEnmaz]

I want to have a single device that can both transmit and receive beacon packets using nrf52832. 

Project Idea

Need to identify RSSI level of beacons around a device while also advertising itself as-well 

Help required

1) Is it possible to realise the above in a single nrf52832, if not which ic would be better?

2) Any example code/documentation which explains the same

Yes, the NRF52832 can advertise (as a beacon) and scan for others in the same application.

There are some examples in the "ble_central_and_peripherial" directory that one could use as a starting point.

Thank you Turbo J will check right away

That does not have the required example. I am looking for ibeacon transmitter and receiver specifically

Specifically looking for ibeacon advertising and reading simultaneously.

It would have been a very comprehensive SDK if it should include example code for every customer's use-case.

To save you some work, I have created an example combining the scanning from ble_app_beacon_c and advertising from ble_app_beacon example. It will report any advertising packet received, not just iBeacons. You must do the work to parse the advertising data to get the relevant packets for your use-case.
