Not sure exactly what you mean by this. Beacons are related to advertising, not scanning. You can, of course, receive advertising packets from beacon when doing scanning, but you will also receive advertising packets from other devices.

Support for scanning is only available in S132 softdevice, which takes up considerably more space than the S112 softdevice used in the pca10040e/nRF52810 projects. S132 supports scanning and advertising, concurrently with up to 20 connections. I doubt that you will be able to create a functional application that supports both scanning and connections, that will fit into the available RAM/Flash of the nRF52810, but on nRF52832/nRF52833/nRF52840, this should be possible.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi,

thanks for your response. I want to use scan mode only from beacon mode.

actually I am looking for code that can scan BLE devices in near filed and send the list to the connected device.

is it possible to scan devices during connected mode?

any suggestion?

Hi,

The nRF52810 chip can support the functionality of both these examples. The only limiting factor is the Flash/RAM size available in this chip. You may need to do some optimization of the application in order to fit them both into this chip, but that will depend on the size of the beacon part of the application. ble_app_hts already includes advertising, so it is just a matter of adding the beacon functionality.

Best regards,
Jørgen
