Description:

I have tried to test the BLE Ibeacon example but I don't see anything on NRF connect. I then enabled the logging via the platformio.ini file and saw that the code throws an error.
It seems to be the same error as here: #2853
But I have checked from the same github issue this: #3034

and start() is commented on my code. So that should be resolved, but it isn't.

Some arguments are invalid. Please print oScanResponseData.

[mbastida123]

Some arguments are invalid. Please print oScanResponseData.

I put:
log_d("oScanResponseData: %s\n",oScanResponseData.getPayload().c_str());

And get:

[D][main.cpp:71] setBeacon(): oScanResponseData: 

␀ing

[chegewara]

Not that way. You have to print byte values, not a string.

[mbastida123]

Not that way. You have to print byte values, not a string.

Like this?:

Serial.printf("OscanResponse: ");
  char const *c=oScanResponseData.getPayload().c_str();
  for (int i=0; i<sizeof(c);i++)
  {
    Serial.printf("%X ", c[i]);
  }
  
  Serial.println();

OscanResponse: 0 0 0 0

[chegewara]

Yes, like this.
This is incorrect payload, because 1st byte is length of some data, 2nd is type and then payload.

[mbastida123]

Yes, like this. This is incorrect payload, because 1st byte is length of some data, 2nd is type and then payload.

This is the example taken out of the BLE library. Does this mean that there's a bug or something wrong on the example or did I do something wrong?

[mbastida123]

@chegewara any idea on how I could continue troubleshooting?

[chegewara]

Sorry, i dont have time to check this example/code right now, but i would just start with removing this line:
pAdvertising->setScanResponseData(oScanResponseData);

Ok, no problem.

I removed the line. I paste the output just in case someone else can help:

Hello @mbastida123, is this still relevant?

[mbastida123]

Hello @mbastida123, is this still relevant?

Hello @VojtechBartoska,

Yes it is still relevant. I haven't checked since then (I gave up on using Beacon with ESP32 for other reasons). But it would be nice to have it working :)

Will try again just in case some release has fixed the problem.

I have just tried and I still get the same error... :(
