Bluefruit.setName and bledis.setModel differences

Post by willwade »

If I have a sketch (on a nrf52840 board such as the feather express) and use bledis.setModel('NAME') - then all our devices (windows, iOS) see our board - but not with the NAME (feather nrf5284 or similar is what it can come up with). If we use Bluefruit.setName(NAME) - it seems to work more reliably BUT we have a strange problem where some Windows devices just refuse to see the device. It just doesn't come up when you scan for it. Strange.


Can anyone shine some light on the differences between these two seemingly parallel functions? (and maybe answer the question why we are getting some devices to not see a device when using setName..)
