Multilink central scan problem

[Akshat]

Hi,

I am using the nRF51-DK board as a central running with ble_app_multilink_central_s130_pca10028 sample application. I am using SDK version 9.0 with Keil 5.14 version. I have third party peripheral devices like Estimote, Sensor Tag. With the central device, I am not able to scan these peripheral devices. Can you please help me to scan these devices with the central board ?

Hi Akshat,

How did you test that ? Note that the multilink_central example only connect to and print out log when the device that has the short or complete name matches target.

What you should do is to print out the advertising data you receive when BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT occurs.

Make sure you are scanning without any whitelist (selective scanning)

Hi Hung,

thanks for your response. I have already changed the TARGET_DEV_NAME to the peripheral device name. But the peripheral device is only advertising the BLE_GAP_AD_TYPE_FLAGS type, I just want to know how to scan primary services like Generic Access, Generic Attribute, Device Information and their properties. Is there any simple BLE scanner example for reference ?
