BLuetooth scan question

[KentOverton]

Hi.

I'm developing on a nRF52840 dongle, using ncs Version 2.1.0 in vscode.

I've modified the Nordic Bluetooth central_uart sample program to work in this environment, and have it successfully bridging communications between a custom application on a nRF52840 and a Windows application I've written.

Currently the central_uart program connects to the first available device it sees advertising the NUS service.

I'd like to add a feature that will show my Windows user all available devices advertising NUS and allow him to connect to the device of his choice, in much the same way that the Android NRF Toolbox UART function does.

Any direction you can provide will be appreciated.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Martin,

Having a look at the central_uart, you can see that scan_filter_match is where to collect the matching address, addr.

To create a new connection with a specific device, you provide the address to bt_conn_le_create.

In order to not connect automatically when a match is found, set .connect_if_match = 0. in scan_init.


Hope this helps!
