Master and Slave concept

[Usman Rashid]

I have want to make application where beacon sends data to NRF52 and NRF52 to PC.

But if for example, the connection between NRF52 and PC is through bluetooth instead to PC then how communication is possible ?

What I read is that master can have many slave but slave must have one master.

In my case master will be NRF52 and slave will be beacon and NRF52 just forward the data to terminal software.

But if the connection between PC and NRF52 is also through bluetooth then how master slave relationship will work ---------------?

in that case NRF52 DK will be both master and slave. master in the case of beacon and NRF52 communication but slave in the case of PC and NRF52 communication.

Does such arrangement will work -? can device can be both master and slave at the same time ?

Hi,

Q: Does such arrangement will work -? can device can be both master and slave at the same time ?

A: Yes! With S132 v4.0.2 you can have 20 BLE connections in any combination between Peripheral and Central. E.g. you can connect the nRF52 to 10 slaves and 10 masters at the same time.
