Device isn't connectable.

Hi,

You need to change this line in Puck::init()

ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED);

to

ble.accumulateAdvertisingPayload(GapAdvertisingData::BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED | GapAdvertisingData::LE_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE);

Otherwise the devices aren't connectable. It would also be nice if the devices weren't hard-coded as iBeacons and you if you could set the name in init(). Other than that this library is great!

Cheers,

Tim

Hi tim, one of the authors here again. Thanks for the feedback.

I've added GapAdvertisingData::LE_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE to the advertising params.

Pucks should now be discoverable in apps that actually check for this flag :)

Great, thanks!

"It would also be nice if the devices weren't hard-coded as iBeacons and if you could set the name in init()" Could you elaborate on this? Or even propose a set of changes? Or a pull request on github? :)

I made a new discussion for this...
