Can I use the smartphone APP and peripheral device in the central through bonding?

[pkr2258]

hi,

I am reviewing development in the environment below.

* HW : nRF52832

* SW : SDK -> example -> ble_app_uart_c

In the nRF52-DK board, we reviewed the example of connecting central and peripheral with the ble_app_uart example. What I would like to inquire about is...

When central is configured with ble_app_uart_c, Whether or not the APP of the peripheral device and the smart phone can be used at the same time through bonding.

I wonder if it is possible to register the APP of the smart phone in the central device and also register the peripheral device and reconnect each one through bonding.

thank.

Hi,

Yes, you can connect and bond with multiple devices.

But note that the ble_app_uart and ble_app_uart_c example does not support bonding/paring out-of-the-box. The Peer Manager module would need to be added to the example to support that. Take a look at e.g. ble_app_hrs example for an example that support bonding.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this "bonding" thing, and I'm picturing all these people connected through their phones and fancy devices. Maybe it's like a high-tech version of the Monkey Mart game where you can trade virtual pets and stuff! I'm all for connecting with folks, but let's make sure we don't get lost in the digital jungle, you know?
