Update Beacon Data frequently

[Tharak]

Hi Nordic,

1. I am using BL653_DVK Board and Beacon sample which is available in zephyr

2. As of now am clearly communicating and pushing UUID data to the beacon 

3. Now i want to push data and update data in beacon with the some time interval

4. Could you provide any referenceor example code to update UID frequently

Hi,

It need to be more like this:

static struct k_timer my_timer;

static void timer_handler(struct k_timer *timer)
{
	ARG_UNUSED(timer);
	bt_le_adv_update_data()

}


k_timer_init(&my_timer, timer_handler, NULL);
k_timer_start(&my_timer, K_MSEC(10000), K_MSEC(10000));

 

And then try calling k_timer_init and k_timer_start , after bt_le_adv_start()

Hi,

1. First things its worked really well and thank you for that as of now its advtizing only one time

2. but if i need to advtize periodically then which way is better to if i create while loop inside bt_ready function it will work but i tried in my case its not working

3. Is there any suggestions to advitze data periodically

Hi,

You mean Periodic Advertising? There is a sample for that in Zephyr.

Hi,

Thank you for giving reference to me

1. But i need to do modification in beacon code itself if possible

2. Is there any way we can modify beacon code and advertise periodically like using loop concepts
