How to send additional data in eddystone protocol?

[Piyush_9536]

Is it possible to send additional data in eddystone protocol ?

If yes please do share a snap of code with me.

basically i want to advertise customized data packet for that i need to form a packet which contains the data i want to advertise and then advertise it

How to do that

I see. Then I suggest you refer to the Beacon Transmitter Sample Application. This essentially shows you how to make a simple advertising packet using manufacturer specific data (you can remove all the iBeacon related stuff).

If you want you can also add a scan response packet, which is generated in the same way as the advertising packet, and in that case set the scan_rsp_data fields in the ble_gap_adv_data_t instead  off leaving it NULL.

I am doing the same sending manufacturing data and scan response data in eddystone template but its not showing while advertising that is why i got stuck can you please share the code or steps if how you had done this

[Einar Thorsrud]

The BLE app uart example in nRF5 SDK demonstrates using scan response data (search for srdata in examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_uart/main.c).

Perhaps you can show what you have done and how you have tested and debugged, and then I may be able to spot the issue.

I am attaching Snap of my code how i had tried implementing to advertise scan response and manufacturing specific data in eddystone  but it's not showing this data while advertising
