KW41Z beacon

[seanwu]

Dear sir,

KW41Z now supports single beacon(beacon example). And I want to modify to support dual beacon (ibeacon+eddystone) at the same time. I want to change the time interval(50ms ibeacon, and 50ms eddystone). I traced the code, but I still have no idea to implement the dual beacon. Could you please help me?

Thanks.

BR,

Sean

Hello ,

Could you please check this thread and see if this works for you?

Implementing Bluetooth® LE Beacons on the KW40Z Wireless Microcontroller

I believe that the implementations you were looking for are in that thread.

Dear sir,

This is just single beacon at one time. I want to modify the interval time to transfer two type beacon.

Thanks.

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.

Unfortunately, the KW41 won’t be able to achieve two beacons simultaneously, not even changing the ADV data on the fly.

You will need to stop advertising, change ADV data, re-start advertising; this approach may show the two beacons OTA, but this might not fulfill the ADV interval and other system requirements.

Other choice you can have it’s to use the GENFSK link layer and have them generate the beacons packets, the only drawback here is that your application must keep track of the timings and changing the ADV channels manually.
