Hi,

You cannot use EB_PRX in that case. You need to use something that supports the BLE protocol. I suggest you look at a BLE central example from the nRF5 SDK. All of those implements scanning, and you can strip away what you don't need as described in this post.

So "Enhanced ShockBurst", then:

Sorry - I know nothing about that.

What type of "Beacons" are you referring to - also ESB, or are they BLE beacons ?

I use the ESB_PRX routine in proprietary_RF.

What's an "ESB" in this context ?
