var ibeacon = require("ble_ibeacon");
var uuid = "2F3E43C7-8400-44B5-B385-1E6BB411A3BE";

function uuidStringToArray(uuid) {
  uuid = uuid.replace(/-/g, ""); // remove dashes
  let uuidArray = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < uuid.length; i += 2) {
    uuidArray.push(parseInt(uuid.substring(i, i + 2), 16));
  }
  return uuidArray;
}

NRF.setAdvertising([
  ibeacon.get({
    uuid : uuidStringToArray(uuid),
    major : 2,
    minor : 1,
    rssi : -59
  }),
  {name: "PuckHub"}
], {interval:200});

I'm having trouble advertising a custom name and iBeacon information on my puck.js. do you have any suggestions for me? the iBeacon information works but the name does not change...

It's a bit counter-intuitive, but you need the name in the second argument, so:

NRF.setAdvertising([
  ibeacon.get({
    uuid : uuidStringToArray(uuid),
    major : 2,
    minor : 1,
    rssi : -59
  }),
  {}
], {interval:200,name: "PuckHub"});

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
