recognizing BLE advertisements

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2541

....when programming BLE stack v1.3.2's SimpleBLEPeripheral project on the CC2541 advertisements are recognized by BTool v1.40.5 and I'm able to start a session. We have a custom application running on an iPad which is also able to recognize advertisements from the CC2541 and start a session. But, I'm unable to see advertisements from the CC2541 on any other BLE capable device?? Is this because other BLE enabled devices aren't scanning for the services advertised by the SimpleBLEPeripheral project?? Additionally, if this is the case how does BTool recognize advertisements from the CC2541?

  • It may be that a specific application is looking a specific service UUID in adv or via service discovery.  Key services are often listed in the advertisiment data or scan response. Try using multitool or light blue to other generic BLE app to scan.  I've seen that iOS will often connect and do a service discovery, then disconnect.
