Hi,
I have following function, where I have do BLE scanning for a specific BLE device by mac address.
The mac address is sent by another device with additional info. After some char manipulation, I get the mac address as char array ( or c -string). Then I convert that to a String only at function where BLE has to scan. This is to avoid any memory issues. But the beacon is not being picked up. Serial.println shows the correct address. Please advice.
Thank you
void scanforble(const char* beacon){
Serial.println(beacon);
String beaconstring = String(beacon);
Serial.println(beaconstring);
BLE.scanForAddress(beaconstring);
BLEDevice peripheral = BLE.available();
if (peripheral) {
Serial.println('B');
}
}
