iBeacon and BLE in one chip?

Hi Dialog team,

我想用one chip of DA14580 to implement ibeacon and BLE. The advertising can be swithed by for ibeacon and BLE sequently. If connected by ble, no ibeacom works. Does it work? Is it slower the connection response of ble? please advise.

Thanks

Hi,

Hi,

That is certainly within the capabilities of the chip - and fairly simple. Customers have done this in the past and the most efficient way to do it is to broadcast as an iBeacon (100ms intv) and then every 5 to 10 times, before going back to sleep, advertise as a connectable BT Smart device. This will not have any impact on the connection establishment.

The trick to changing advertisment content dynamically is to stop current advertising and restart it with new content. It takes only about 3ms to achieve.
