Title: Configuring BLE
Post by: Partinarel on April 24, 2016, 05:29:50 AM

Haven't been able to turn up any good results on google.
Is it possible to change the name that the Nordic Bluetooth Le device advertises?
It's getting hard to distinguish between all of the URT entries showing up :s

Yes, you can use Nordic's nRFgo Studio to open the XML settings file in their UART example and change the name, then export the services.h file.

Or you can try the https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-BLEPeripheral BLEPeripheral library maintaned by Sandeep, which has a compatible 'serial' example and can easily change the advertising name, but may use more code space.

The uuid is defined in the
    void setConnectable(void)
in UART.ino. The default is something like
    const char local_name[] = {AD_TYPE_COMPLETE_LOCAL_NAME, 'B', 'l', 'u', 'e', 'N', 'R', 'G'};

You can easily modify the code to pass your own uuid variable there.
