startAdvertising sometimes fail

[benjaminhon]

Hi I am using bleacon on the intel edison.

Most of the time when i do startAdvertising it does. However, there are cases (as i am running the program for a long time) then the advertising stops, then if i restart the program it starts again.

is there any way to check if it is advertising? like a callback function? also is there anycases where you think this problem might happen? I am trying to debug this

this is the part of my code,

// start tcp
connect();

// start bluetooth scanning
Bleacon.startScanning(uuid);

// transmit ibeacon every 100ms
Bleacon.startAdvertising(uuid, major, minor, measuredPower);

// check battery every 60 seconds
setInterval(checkBattery, 60000);

// send status every 10 seconds
setInterval(sendStatus, 10000)

i also have a service file that restarts my program when the TCP connection is down, so expect that the program will be restarted many times over weeks. Im wondering if its because of unsafe exits that the bleacon library does not take into account?

just in case you are wondering, bluetooth is setup using

rfkill unblock bluetooth
hciconfig hci0 up

on systemctl status bluetooth i do get this

Refusing storage path for private addressed device /org/bluez/hci0/dev_60_01_6C_43_40_98

Thx

Hi @benjaminhon,

Please share the following:

• Debug output: DEBUG=* node <file>.js
• HCI dump capture: hcidump -t -x (note, you'll have to start this in a separate terminal window before you're Node app is running)

I'm closing this due to lack of activity.

Noted thanks, the solution was to kill the bluetoothctl process, something to do with the edison
