'nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0 -> Beaconing example' Provisioning problem

 

I want to make one mesh beacon as a node of mesh network.

If one mesh beacon is a node of mesh network, I want the beacon broadcast the messages which in mesh network to many mobiles!

If I want to broadcast a sensor data by using beacon, do I need to combine 'Mesh sensor example' and 'Mesh beaconing example'?

 

I find the solution to send sensor data for many mobile users through mesh beacon node.

  • Hi,

    Looking at what you have described, it seems you want to collect sensor data and broadcast it to smartphones using normal BLE advertising packets while being a part of a mesh network. Am I correct?

    If so you don't need to combine the two examples. The Mesh sensor example shows how you can send sensor data through the mesh network. In your case you can collect the data and broadcast it using the beaconing example..

  • Thank you, Mttrinh.

     I'm sorry for late reply.

     

    The Mesh sensor example shows how you can send sensor data through the mesh network.

    I know that sending sensor data through the mesh network is possible.

    You mean I don't have to combine the mesh sensor example and beaconing example.

    However, I don't know how to implement the function to broadcast data by using mesh sensor example.

     

     

    In your case you can collect the data and broadcast it using the beaconing example..

    If this is possible without combining, could you give me some information about this?

    Where is the beaconing function in sensor example?

     

     

     

    Thank you so much.

    Sincerely yours,

    I'm not sure I understand. From your original post, it seems like you wanted to send sensor data to multiple phones through a beacon node that is a part of the mesh network. Then, like I mentioned in my last reply, you can use the beaconing example. Collect the sensor data and then send it to the phones using normal BLE advertising packets. No need to use mesh sensor example if you don't want to send the data through the mesh network. 

    I might have misunderstood, if so can you clarify/ give more details on what you want to do?
