Hi,
I want to use beacons in my application. I've noticed that there are 2 examples - beacons and eddystone. Which one should I use?
Thanks!

Seems like ble beacons example contains regular advertisment.
Eddystone is a non connectable adversitment, which I think I need. Did I understand that correctly?
In addition - can I use eddystone advertisment as long as my application running, and use regular advertiament at the same time? Or it may be problematic?
Thanks!

All beacons do regular, non-connectable advertising - that is the whole point of a "beacon".

"Eddystone" is a particular beacon standard - from Google:

Apple have their own standard - called, unsurprisingly, "iBeacon":

No doubt there are also other standards.
Perhaps you need to do dome more background reading on the subject of BLE beacons ... ?
