Broadcast Eddystone TLM Data
Eddystone TLM includes temperature data from the beacon's internal sensor (may be affected by chip heat).
To configure: Select "Eddystone" in "Advertising Data Format" and "TLM Frame" in "Eddystone - Settings". Adjust broadcast interval/address as needed. -
Power Supply for High-power Sensor
MGPIO6 may not drive high-power sensors. Short-circuit the jumper pads on the beacon's back to power the sensor via the onboard LDO (stable 3.3V, stronger load capacity). -
Dynamic Power Supply Control
Supply power to the sensor only during broadcasts: Set MGPIO6 to "wakeup high, sleep low" and disable "Latch".

Avoid Packet Loss During Long Interval
For long advertising intervals (≥10s), use multiple broadcasts to reduce loss risk:- Enable SW0 (dynamic power control port, outputs high when broadcasting).
- Enable two advertising sets: One continuous (20s interval), one triggered (200ms interval, same data format).
- Set triggered advertising to use MGPIO6 (connected to SW0) and broadcast 6 times per SW0 level jump.
- Set MGPIO6 to input mode and enable edge detection.
- Disable anti-shake: Enter "register write: 0 1 3 32e8 0" in Advanced Mode Settings.
- Test with "Run in RAM" or download the config file: trigger.zip
- Enable SW0 (dynamic power control port, outputs high when broadcasting).
Instructions for NanoBeacon Config Tool
For detailed usage, refer to the user guide: NanoBeacon Config Tool User Guide EN.pdf
(Use a 3.3V USB-TTL tool instead of the "Beacon development kit" mentioned in the guide.)
