BSP_INDICATE_SCANNING - period 2 s or 4.4 s

[Jan Kinander]

In the description of example BLE Heart Rate Collector, it says that it can indicate state BSP_INDICATE_SCANNING and state BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED.

In the description of BSP indication states for PCA10040 and PCA10056 it says that BSP_INDICATE_SCANNING is LED1 blinking with period 2 seconds and duty cycle 10 %.

When I run the BLE Heart Rate Collector example on PCA10040, LED1 is blinking with period 4.4 seconds and duty cycle 10 %. This is strange since

1. Accordning to the description of BSP indicate states, this blinking indicates BSP_INDICATE_ADVERTISING_SLOW.

2. The description of the example does not mention BSP_INDICATE_ADVERTISING_SLOW.

3. A Heart Rate Collector wouldn't advertise.

Can you explain this?

Please provide details on what heart rate collector example from what nRF5 SDK version you're using when seeing this behavior and I'll take a look. 

Can you also explain more in detail on point 3? Does the heart rate collector device not advertise at all? How do you see that it is not advertising, is it not discovered by the central, or do you not see any logging information? Does the application start at all, doing initializations and so on?

Best regards,

Simon
