bluetooth HM-15 module scanning for iBeacons

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

Hi everybody

I recently bought a HM-15 module (similar to HM-11). The target is to scan for iBeacons using HM-15 and Arduino and retrieve their major and minor info.

I am able to find an iBeacon using AT+DISC? command and get the address. However, when I try to connect to the iBeacon the connection fails ...how to retrieve the major and the minor? Can you help?

Thanks a lot :wink:

ps this is the datasheet of the bluetooth module

Hi, I am working on a project where I need to detect the presence of a single ibeacon within a 5 ft radius. Distance, ID, etc do not matter. Is that something you were able to achieve? If so can you please elaborate a bit on what hardware you used? I have an Arduino Mega. Thanks!
