After programming my NRF51 dongle, it doesnt seem to work

[Somshekhar]

Hi , 

i have programmed my NRF51 sniffer dongle (PCA10031) using nrf programming app and I could see something like this in below pic. Is it expected output in the programmer app . Becasue my sniffer doesnt work properly . It only sniffs advertising packet , scan response packets. But I want to see connnection request packets when I am trying to establish connection between my smartphone and my ble light bulb and there are no gatt/att packets visible in the wireshark to read the data transferred over GATT characteristics .

The user guide for the nRF Sniffer is located at  https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_sniffer_ble%2FUG%2Fsniffer_ble%2Fintro.html . Download from the link at the top right.

You will have to select the device to sniff explicitly for the sniffer to sniff all the packets from a specific device.

As Einar says, there is no issue in the programming of the sniffer firmware to the nRF51 dongle.
