KW41 ibeacon issue

[seanwu]

Dear sir,

I tried to implement ibeacon feature on KW41z.

I used the beacon example in MKW41Z_ConnSw_1.0.2.

The default packet is NXP beacon format.

I tried to change it to ibeacon packet format like below.

I used the beacon app "Locate" from App store. But I can't get my KW41 device.

Could you help me how I could implement the ibeacon feature on KW41 successfully.

Thanks.

Hello Sean,

In the app.c file locate the BleApp_Init(void) function and comment everything on it.

 

This needs to be done as the function will generate a random UUID and replace the one you previously set in the aData1 with the random one; once you commented it and load the new firmware, the board must be recognized as an iBeacon.

Please let me know if had any issues with it or if it works.

Regards,

Estephania

Dear Sir,

Sorry, I found this is the APP setting issue. I need add the UUID in the list first, then I can scan my KW41 ibeacon device.

Thanks.

Dear Sir,

I changed the UUID to 0xE2, 0xC5, 0x6D, 0xB5, 0xDF, 0xFB, 0x48, 0xD2, 0xB0, 0x60, 0xD0, 0xF5, 0xA7, 0x10, 0x96, 0xE0,

And it works. Why does the UUID effect the result?

Thanks.

Dear Sir,

I had comment these lines before to test, but it still can't be scanned.

Thanks.
