Advanced Application

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. Dynamic Power Supply Control
    Supply power to the sensor only during broadcasts: Set MGPIO6 to "wakeup high, sleep low" and disable "Latch".
    Download the sample config file: DynamicPower.zip

  4. 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
