Hello everyone, I got a task which I try to implement using a NRF51822 iBeacon board. The Task: Advertise a Device and provide a mechanism to connect without traditional bluetooth pairing Provide a UART Style output on a Android Device from a Microcontroller connected to the NRF51822's UART Interface Is this possible with the iBeacon? Do I need extra Hardware for development of the NRF51822 firmware? Best regards, Pascal

iBeacon usage as pairing less UART extender

Hello everyone,

I got a task which I try to implement using a NRF51822 iBeacon board.

The Task:

Advertise a Device and provide a mechanism to connect without traditional bluetooth pairing
Provide a UART Style output on a Android Device from a Microcontroller connected to the NRF51822's UART Interface

Is this possible with the iBeacon? Do I need extra Hardware for development of the NRF51822 firmware?

Best regards, Pascal
