NCS Advertise While Scanning

I asked because non-connectable is easier to enable. Connectable advertising means you have to handle peripheral connections in your app , while that is not necessary if you only intend to broadcast data through non-connectable advertisement packets, then you can just start advertising like in the Beacone example.

Bluetooth: Throughput support both the GAP peripheral and central role, but it might require some modifications to support connection with both roles concurrently. Maybe it's similar to what you already did with the throughput example in the nRF5 SDK.

That's great to hear! What are the consequences of making the adv. connectable or not?

Hi,

It should not be a problem to implementend this in NCS, but we currently do not have any multirole examples to demonstrate it. Did you want the adv. to be connectable or not?
