Send a value with AprilBeacon

1

I would like to send a value with AprilBeacon and change that value periodically.

Initially, I thought changing the Minor or Major value through the UART would work (use an AT+MINR command to change the value, then issue AT+RESET to make the change), but probably this will fail over time if I write to flash too much).

QUESTION 1) Please confirm I may damage flash if I repeatedly change the Minor value.

Instead, if I connect to the AprilBeacon device with Bluetooth, can I send values from the AprilBeacon device via the UART connection?

Example:

Arduino —> ABBLEshield UART —> Bluetooth —> Android

QUESTION 2) Do you have a suggestion on how I can send a byte to the Android this way?

Thank you.

QUESTION 1) Please confirm I may damage flash if I repeatedly change the Minor value.

There’s times limit for write flash. But I haven’t found the description from the datasheet. The limit should be n*k times.

For Android, please refer the source code.
