• Read MAC address

  Thx! I checked the getSerial() function, it returns an 8 byte value as string (in my case "def1e3bd-f8bcb4f9") and it is not the BT MAC (which would be the 6 byte value "FD01C4EBBC8E") for this given Puck.

  Could the BT MAC be exposed (maybe through the NRF object) in a future firmware upgrade? I'm just asking because of the Eddystone URL length limitation I'm trying to get the shortest unique ID possible.

  Thx for the help again, great project!

  Hi,

  I'm trying to develop a small project where I would use the Puck as a HW identifier, combining Eddystone functionality with a unique ID. I was thinking that I could use the MAC address of the Puck as the ID, Base64 encode it and advertise it as part of the Eddystone URL.

  But I can't find a way to read the BT MAC of the device inside the JS code - is it possible?

  Thanks, br:
