![]() This feature is a security precaution to limit the possibility of third party manipulation of your beacons once they have been installed and configured. After this 30 minutes period elapses, the beacon will no longer be connectable from other Bluetooth 4.0 devices without restarting that window. Beacons are only initially configurable for a period of 30 minutes after they are powered.It is highly recommended that you make a priority changing the PIN for your RadBeacon device. As with previous versions, the default PIN is all zeros, or '00000000'. With version 3.2.3 we are introduced stronger eight (8) digit PINs. For firmware versions prior to version 3.2.3, configuration of beacons requires a four (4) digit PIN. With the RadBeacon app you can scan for nearby configurable RadBeacon proximity beacons, display their operating settings and make modifications to those settings.Download the RadBeacon Config App for you device.In addition to full control over the beacon advertisement data configuration, the transmit power and advertising rate are adjustable to suit a wide variety of deployment scenarios. ![]() You can experiment with various filtering methods, but the distances will rarely be spot-on.RadBeacon USB is over-the-air configurable using the RadBeacon App for iOS. Small rooms can complicate matters due to multi-pathing and other issues. Once you've set the calibrated power, if you change the transmit power you'll need to re-calibrate.Īlso note that your distance values can vary quite a lot. Make sure not to confuse the calibrate power value with the transmit power setting. Save your changes, and you should be all set. Note the RSSI value it returns, then tap back and enter that value in the Calibrated Power field. If you are using Eddystone the phone should be at 0 meters. If you are using Altbeacon or iBeacon frame types the phone should be 1 meter away. Tap on the beacon result in the app, and tap the menu icon in the top right. Once you see the beacon you want to calibrate, enable connections on the beacon (in the case of the Radbeacon dot, hold the button down for a couple seconds. With the app open, and the beacon on, hit scan. If you're using the Radbeacon dot, you can configure the advertised RSSI using the Radbeacon app (link is for the Android version). When configuring Eddystone broadcasts, the picked calibration value will automatically match the advertisement's transmission power."ĭavidyoung is right. "The txPower calibration for Eddystone broadcasts is done internally by our beacons and SDKs. The following is how the beacon's settings (in the owner app) looks like: ![]() I cannot specify the RSSI value at 1 meter, I can only pick one of the Transmission power (dBm and distance). The phone was 1m away from the phone, and I got the following results: I made a measurements with the app with the Android Beacon Library. I thought it was due to the power of the signal, which I tried to change but it wasn't the solution, since it was broadcasting the maximum power.Īnybody with the same problem that found a solution? I did an app with that tutorial and when measuring the distance it tells me that the one that is 0,2 m away is 1.6m away, the one that is 10m says is at 70-90 m away and the other at 7m is at 40-60m. ![]() I tried to look for a solution here, but seems like everybody gets a better distance. With this, while sitting on a corner i have one in front of me (less that 0.2m) the other one at 10m (aprox, that's the diagonal of the room) and the other one at 7m. I have read that it gives some fluctuations but I have three beacons in a room that is 7m x 7m one in each corner. I have followed the tutorial from RadiusNetwork to get the distance from a beacon using Android Beacon Library. ![]()
