Using BLE scan alongside Mesh gives EAGAIN error

[stanlykt]

Hi,

I'm working on project where I want to scan nearby beacons while participating in a Mesh network. I've configured everything as shown in the sample ble peripheral lbs coex, however when I want to start scanning for beacons using the the code below it returns a EAGAIN error.

bt_le_scan_start(&scan_params, scan_cb)

If I disable the CONFIG_BT_SETTINGS this error goes away but obviously the mesh does not work properly anymore. 

I found a git issue at the Zephyr repository about this and was wondering if it is still impossible to use the bt_le_scan_start method when using mesh at the same time? Does someone know a way to make them work together?

Thanks in advance,

Stan

Hi,

Mesh owns scanner, but I guess you can try to register a callback using bt_le_scan_cb_register function.

Using the bt_le_scan_cb_register seems to do the trick. I can now scan beacons while participating in a mesh network. Thanks for you suggestion.
