ibeacon and eddystone

[ixj111]

Hi, i am wondering if the library can be used to read beacon (eg., ibeacon and eddystone) data?

@ixj111 not at this time, there is no way to access manufacturer data or service data from the scanned advertisements.

However, we'd welcome a pull request for these features.

Hi, I would also love to see this. Thanks

Yes, i would like, this would also make it possible to read the broadcast characteristics of the library.

Is there still any way to read the Servicedata from scanned advertisement ? , I am already able to advertise servicedata by editing GAP.cpp from sandeepmistry@5533643 and it works but still struggling to read the advertised servicedata in Arduino Nano 33 BLE

Hi @uasiddiqi , I'm currently working on making advertising and scan response data more flexible. You can take a look here https://github.com/Polldo/ArduinoBLE/commits/advertising_scanresponse_data
It's still a work in progress, so if you find any issues or have any suggestions please tell me.

Thank you so much @polldo for your quick response. Its nice to hear that someone else is also working in a similar project . I was going through the issues you have worked but its better to ask you here directly. Have you tried reading the servicedata from another device/beacon that is advertising it? . I do realize the effort you have put on scan response but somehow i am unable to relate it to get the servicedata.
