Beacon
Adafruit's Bluefruit LE modules currently support the following 'Beacon' technologies:
Beacon (Apple) via AT+BLEBEACON
UriBeacon (Google) via AT+BLEURIBEACON (deprecated)
Eddystone (Google) via AT+EDDYSTONE*
Modules can be configured to act as 'Beacons' using the following commands:
AT+BLEBEACON
Codebase Revision: 0.3.0
Parameters: The following comma-separated parameters are required to enable beacon mode:
Bluetooth Manufacturer ID (uint16_t)
128-bit UUID
Major Value (uint16_t)
Minor Value (uint16_t)
RSSI @ 1m (int8_t)
Output: None
# Enable Apple iBeacon emulation
# Manufacturer ID = 0x004C
AT+BLEBEACON=0x004C,01-12-23-34-45-56-67-78-89-9A-AB-BC-CD-DE-EF-F0,0x0000,0x0000,-59
OK
# Reset to change the advertising data
ATZ
OK
# Enable Nordic Beacon emulation
# Manufacturer ID = 0x0059
AT+BLEBEACON=0x0059,01-12-23-34-45-56-67-78-89-9A-AB-BC-CD-DE-EF-F0,0x0000,0x0000,-59
OK
# Reset to change the advertising data
ATZ
OK
AT+BLEBEACON will cause the beacon data to be stored in non-volatile config memory on the Bluefruit LE module, and these values will be
persisted across system resets and power cycles. To remove or clear the beacon data you need to enter the 'AT+FACTORYRESET' command in
command mode.
Entering Nordic Beacon emulation using the sample code above, you can see the simulated beacon in Nordic's 'Beacon Config' tool below:
