Beacon working example not found for nRF52840 DK

[Sanketpatel]

Hello Nordic Comunity,

I am new to the Nordic nRF52840 DK usage. I am working on the development of a connectable beacon for a longer duration. 

Any type of help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sanket

Hi,

Usually a Beacon is a GAP Broadcaster, from the Bluetooth specification:

"The Broadcaster role is optimized for transmitter only applications. Devices supporting the Broadcaster role use advertising to broadcast data. The Broadcaster role does not support connections".

We do have a Beacon example in the SDK, but it's defined as non-connectable. You can however change it to connectable by changing the m_adv_params.properties.type in the advertising init function.

See this thread for more information.

regards
