Hi,

[quote user="Yuval Shavit"]Is it possible to advertise as "Ibeacon" for 1 sec, after that change the advertisement packet to regular one (With NUS support) for 1 sec and swap between them every 1 sec and also allow connection to it (To the one with the NUS)? [/quote]

Yes, that is no problem. You need to reconfigure the advertiser every 1 second in this case.

[quote user="Yuval Shavit"]Is it possible to continue with advertising as "Ibeacon" only when a phone is connected to the unit (with NUS protocol via the "regular" advertisement") ?[/quote]

Yes, this is also no problem. In this case, just ensure that you configure iBeacon advertising once connected, and do not change this until the connection is disconnected.

Hi Yuval,

The SoftDevice does not support multiple concurrent advertisers. The most common way to solve this is to regularly change the advertising data. Alternatively you could consider implementing the second advertiser in a timeslot.
