How to scan nearby peripheral devices?

[Ted]

My platform is nRF5_SDK_16. Softdevice is s140_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice. I want to be the central role and scan nearby peripherals. Which function do I need to use? Which document do I need to study? Could you guide me?

Hi,

Is there are reason that you are not using our latest SDK v17.0.2? If possible I would suggest you to use our latest SDK, as many improvements have been done from SDK v16 to v17.

We have many examples in our SDK that demonstrates the BLE central role. The easiest ones to start with is the Blinky and UART example, I suggest you have a look at them.

I use BLE base uuid, so I think Method 2 is more correct

What do you mean by this?
