Cannot Find BLE Advertisement when scanning

[schmid.johnny]

Hello,

My ESP32 cannot find a BLE advertisement from a specific device. My IPhone and a BLE sniffer can find the device when scanning. A dump of a advertisement is below. The ESP32 does detect other BLE devices, but not this one device.

Here is more info from WireShark

There seems to be nothing wrong with those data, the question is rather about your code. How do you handle scan.

Hello

I got it to work. I was using a esp32-wroom-32D but switched to using the esp32-wroom-32. Once I pushed my new sketch to the new board it worked. The device is now detected when scanning and I'm now able to retrieve and parse the information contained in the manufactures data.

Thank you for helping and looking into this!
