2. please provide some sample code regarding the pairing authentication and its process.

Hi team,

I am using the nRF52DK module PCA10040 board

[ShubMane]

having nrf52832 on it

I want to do the pairing by sharing an authentication key

What exactly do you refer to by "authentication key"? Is it a 6 digit Bluetooth passkey? If so, you can refer to Glucose Application for nRF5 SDK, and this post for NCS.

Yes, Amenda 

you were correct, I am talking about the 6 digits Bluetooth passkey and it is shared while the pairing process is going on.

can u please tell me where the "glucose application" is located inside the SDK?

Hi, 

Sorry for the delay due to the weekend. 

You can find the source code and the project file of the example in the following folder: <InstallFolder>\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_gls

Thank u so Amanda,

Thank u for the path that u had provided.

I had tested it on nrf52832. PCA10040.

I had some of the following issues as well as doutes.

But I had some doubts - 

1. Every single time a new Bluetooth 6 digit passkey is gets generated. but I want a fixed passed key for every single time of pairing. so please help me with it.
