I am working with a proximity beacon example. In that runs scanning and advertisement code, And in testing, most of the cases, I am not able to get the Advertisement packet even in 1.5sec from the other beacon. I have verified the connection parameter for advertisement and scanning both. Can anyone please help?
I am using Nrfsdk 14.01 and Nrf52810chipset.
I have attached the beacon_example file here.
