Hello!
I am trying to build a connectable Eddystone beacon with a Blend Micro board which uses nRF8001. I used the BLEPeripheral library (github.com/.../arduino-BLEPeripheral). I picked the Eddystone-UID code from the examples and added a few lines to integrate a photocell to check if it is dark.
I want to be able to turn on an LED if the phone (receiving end - the app monitoring the distance) is within 2m. It could send a command, say a character, when it is in range and the board should receive the command and turn on the LED, turn off could be another command when it's beyond 2-3m. I use the Beacon Scanner app, an open source Android Beacon Library provided by Google, presently to scan the beacons.
I was looking around the Redbear's forums and a few other places and noticed a GATT service used to configure the beacons using nRF51822. I did not find much information if this is applicable to nRF8001 as well. Another idea I had was to integrate Simple Chat functionality to send commands from BLE Controller app by Redbear.
I would very much appreciate any inputs on how I could get my present Blend Micro setup to act connectable.
