How to get Information on nRF52840 Feather as Scanner from Beacons?

[it0406]

Hello developer,

I am new here and learning Beacons with the Board nRF52840 Feather from Adafruit as scanner and Segger Embedded Studio. I refer to nRF52 SDK 17.0.2 and got how the board runs as scanner.

But I don't get how the Board get Information like ID, RSSI from other Beacons.

Can you give me please tips and advices?

Is there some examples for it?

Best regards

Hi,

The best is to check out some of the BLE central examples and look for handling of the BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT:

Once scanning is started on the central you should get a BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT event, then you can read out all the content from the event:
