Can you post advertisement data you got when using nil for scan?

Best Wishes,

In all my attempts to build BTLE apps I never was able to get scan results when filtering specific services. Several examples from apple show the way that filtering should work but those did not help me. This means that the approach did not work for the hardware I have.

I'm testing with a ConnectBlue OLP425i-ES, a device equipped with 3D sensor, temperature and LED control. CBCentralManager scanning with no filtering (NIL) finds the device and enables me to access all sensors.

The peripheral name is shows OBP425-D7FD.
Next fragment shows some logging of all kinds of code that were retrieved from hardware.

Example code like the following never resulted in calls to didDiscoverPeripheral:

NSArray *uuidArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:"180A"], nil];

NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey];

[centralManager scanForPeripheralsWithServices:uuidArray options:options];

Example code uses UUID strings like:
NSString *kTemperatureServiceUUIDString = @"DEADF154-0000-0000-0000-0000DEADF154";

How can I convert the 4 nibble codes that where captured in the log data ( i.e. ffe0 or 180a) to the 128 bit UUID? Or is that not the cause of the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Eddy
