arduino - Receiving iBeacon signal by RFduino -

i working on project ibeacon tag , rfduino board (is arduino variant).

my mission receive ibeacon signal info (rssi) on rfduino.

first did, test if can receive data rfduino following code , works fine, receives bluetooth le data.

but not know how receive ibeacon data information.

my question: possible receive ibeacon signal (rssi) or ibeacon info rfduino if yes, how? if no possible receive ibeacon signal using normal arduino hc-05 board (regular bluetooth board)?

the code

void setup() {   serial.begin(9600);   rfduinoble.devicename = "device1";   rfduinoble.begin(); }  void loop() {  }  void rfduinoble_onreceive(char *data, int len) {   serial.println(data[0]); } 

rfduino reference link.

after long time research , try , fail, short answer no.

more details

ibeacon bluetooth le broadcaster , can discovered central or observer.

many bluetooth le devices here including rfduino device pure peripheral device, not possible use discover ibeacon.

at other hand can make rfduino ibeacon (transmitter), won't change fact neither have ability receive ibeacon announcements nor pass other devices.

few links answer conclusion

• receive ble signal ibeacon bluno(arduino ble)
