How to Simply process Advertising Data

[Alvaro]

Hello to everyone,

My problem/question now is about the MasterEmulator. I´m working with the nRF51822(SoftDevice) and i have my own program already working more or less like I want. The main idea is that the device will send some information in the advertising data (my own data that don´t match with any existing Service).

But i´m trying to find out to make my own program for the PCA10000 that should only be scanning for Advertising devices, and process that advertising packets ( with processing it, i mean more or less store every data that see with the time stamp in a file).

I´m taking a look in the "nRFUart" and the "HeathThermoDemo" codes for the PCA1000 dongle but, i´m not so familiar with the "app programing" and I´m not be able to make only that "simply" part of scanning and have the data to work with.

Till now I´m only able to connect to the usb-dongle like in the "hello world" example, but not so much more. Any help like some other "easy start" codes, recommendation, etc.. will be so appreciated.

Thanks, Alvaro.

These are not good news for me. :(

I have another question but maybe should be in a new post.

I have notice that to have both packet Advertising and Scan Response with a broadcaster in not connectable mode is not possible.

With BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_NONCONN_IND, I see the advertising packet but not the Scan response one.

With BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_SCAN_IND, I see the Scan response packet but no the Advertising one.

Only with a connectable mode can I see both. And the point is that I would like to have both in a non connectable mode, Is that possible?

Thanks one more time.

It would be better to post separately, yes. Which packets will be responded to with different advertising types is given in the Core specification, Volume 6, Part B, table 4.1.
