How to stop advertising in eddystone

[Leoni]

Hello ,

I'm using ble_app_eddystone example and I would like to stop the advertising and TLM when I press button 2. I able to create a correctly inicialization of button and your respective event on scheduler. But I couldn't found a function to stop the advertising.

My real intention is put the nrf52 to sleep until a press a button.

PS: I'm new with nrf52 and eddystone beacon.

Hi Leoni!

I don't know which SDK you are working with, but if you take a look at the es_adv.c you will find the function;

static void adv_stop(void)
{
    ret_code_t err_code;

    err_code = sd_ble_gap_adv_stop();
    if (err_code != NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE)
    {
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    }

    es_adv_timing_stop();
} 

That should be what you need?

Best regards,
Joakim.

Thanks Joakim, I was using only "sd_ble_gap_adv_stop()". but the beacon still waking up and transmit advertising.

About the function mentioned, I checked but, when a put in my main code, I get undefined reference to `adv_stop' error during compile the application. I looked es_adv.h and doesn't have adv_stop prototype. How can I correctly call this function?

PS: I'm using SDK 14.2.

Hi Leoni.
It's not in the es_adv.h file, but in the C file (es_adv.c).
If you take a look at the bottom of the C file (aprox. line 225) you can see that when the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event is received, the adv_stop() function is called.
Best regards,
Joakim.
