Visible on MCP but not for mobile device

Inspectron

I have a nRF51DK. The Softdevice on the board is S110.

I load the ble_app_template from the SDK 8.1 on the chip. It builds with success. Now with the MCP I am able to see the nRF51 board with the template application. But when I use the template app from the nRF Toolbox I wont see the board.

So how it is possible that the board is visible for the MCP but not for my mobile device?

Is it even possible, that a device is visible on the MCP but not for the mobile device?

    Hi,

    You are right, you will be able to see the ble_app_template with MCP, but not the Template app from nRF Toolbox. However if you try scanning for devices using either the DFU app, or master control panel for android you will be able to see and connect to the ble_app_template.

    This is because the Template app filters for a selected service, and is intended for when you want to make your own android application. The ble_app_template is intended to be a starting point for developing your BLE application. These two are not connected, and I can see the cause of confusion.

    Hopefully this answers your question, best regards,

    Øyvind

    Thank you. I assumed, that they are connected. But it should still be possible to send a simple value from the MCP to the ble_app_template? Of course I added a service and characteristics. And I can see them on the MCP. But when I try to send a value from the MCP, I will never get into the handler which is handling the writing of a characteristic. In my older project, which has the same set up, it is working.
