Address Filter not working

[panda_noob_2000]

I have an NRF52 DK, and an IM21 door sensor that advertises events. I am trying to pick up these events with the nRF52DK in the most robust way possible. I have used the scanning library to implement an address filter to identify the IM21 events by the IM21 adress. My implementation is screenshotted below and I have verified that the address and address type are correct.

This code is in the scan_init() function:

I am verfying that the sensor is found through this print statement below, which isn't printing:

I also picked up the packets that are being advertised with the NRF Sniffer. The packet advertised is highlighted in this image below:

I welcome any ideas regarding where I may have gone wrong or missed something of importance.

Thank you very much, 

Maria

Hi

Okay, thank you for confirming. I'm running out of ideas. Would it be possible for you to upload the main.c files for the advertiser and scanning device so I can get a better look at the entirety of your project.

Best regards,

Hello,

I got the help of a very skilled BLE engineer, and he was able to solve the issue. We dropped the address filter and implemented a short name filter instead. So we never got the address filter working, but we were able to pick up the sensor by implementing a short name filter instead.

In ble_advdata.c, in the function ble_advdata_short_name_find() he changed line 731 from a less than sign to a less than or equal to sign. This solved the issue. I have attached a screenshot of the fixed function below.

I am curious as to whether or not this is a bug with the sdk - I am using version 17.02. 

Thank you,

Maria
