BLE advertising only in listening mode

[ScruffR]

I see the Argon advertise momentarily on startup, but then not again.

I can confirm that the Argon will keep advertising data as long you don't stop it.
The only thing is that most apps don't keep updating the data.
However, with nRF Connect and increasing the periode how long it will keep scanning I can see the dynamic data being updated as long the app keeps scanning.

I was able to successfully change the advertising name on it once. When I’ve tried to change it again, it remains with the old name.

IMO that's also an issue with the used apps. They seem to be cashing the names even when the device changes its name.

I guess this would be the example that should get you started https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/device-os/bluetooth-le/#device-nearby-beacon However, you need to consider the limited space for advertising data (31 bytes minus some used by the default data leaving you with 24 bytes). If you intended to add a device name that would count against that limit (plus 2 extra bytes). With a custom app you’d also calculate the wattage instead of transferring it. Try this #include "Particle.h" vo…

This is the code I used and believe me: It does work. If it doesn't for you it's probably something with your mobile device and/or the used app (settings).
