ESP32 RAW advertising data

[HanvanHulst]

Hi,

Is it possible to use an ESP32 to scan and gather raw advertising data?
At this moment i use a raspberry pi with HCIDUMP -Rx to get the following data;

> 0000: 04 3e 2b 02 01 00 00 84 34 49 0e f0 ec 1f 02 01 .>+.....4I......
0010: 06 0f 09 41 69 72 20 4d 65 6e 74 6f 72 20 50 72 ...Air Mentor Pr
0020: 6f 0b ff 12 21 00 8a 1a df 39 20 00 16 d8 o...!....9 ...

0010: 00 c9 ..

0010: 00 c4 ..

I would like to store this raw BLE advertising data in a database.
The data is from a Air Mentor Pro and contains PM2.5,PM10,CO2,TVOC, TEMP and humidity data.

Is there an example program to scan for raw data?

Here is example that you can use as base. If you set scan duration to 0 then you can scan infinitely:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/bl ... emo.c#L311

From this code you can remove all you dont need (not related to scann).
Here is event called when esp32 find ble device:

Thanks, Can the code also work with arduino ide with espressif/ble libery? at my first compile i got a lot of compile errors.
