AltBeacon Application Example

Introduction

**************************** Introduction *********************************

  • The AltBeacon example application bring-up the proximity beacon advertisement packet defined by the open and interoperable proximity beacon specification.
  • The Alert Notification example application supports the following Features:
  • AltBeacon Advertisement

Supported Evolution Kit -

  • ATSAML21-XPRO-B + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAMD21-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAMG55-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO
  • ATSAM4S-XPRO + ATBTLC1000 XPRO

Running the Demo -

  • 1. Build and flash the binary into supported evaluation board.
  • 2. Open the console using TeraTerm or any serial port monitor.
  • 3. Press the Reset button.
  • 4. Wait for around 10 seconds for the patches to be downloaded device will initialize and start-up.
  • 5. The device is now in advertising mode.
  • 6. On a BLE compatible Android phone, enable Bluetooth in the Settings page. Start the 'Atmel Smart Connect' App and click on Beacon ranging icon.
