Is there any way to set the minor value of the E02 in BLE mode, and keep it static?

I see that you can set the major value of the beacon, but setting the minor value doesn't seem to do anything. When I read in the packets of one beacon, the minor value continuously changes. Is there a way I can set the minor value to a constant value? Thanks!

Refer to "5.3 BLE Beacon Format" on CYALKIT-E02 Kit Guide.

The minor value of CYALKIT-E02 is set the "Temperature" and "Humidity" sensor data. Therefore the minor value continuously changes.

To set the fixed minor value like iBeacon, please do the following steps.

1.  Connect the "Solar BLE Sensor" to "Debug Board" to change the value using TeraTerm.

      Refer to "3.3 Configuring Solar BLE Sensor" on Kit Guide.

2.  Change the sensor setting to "off".

      [TeraTerm command]

     SENSOR OFF⏎

     (echo) SENSOR OFF

     (output) -> New Sensor mode: OFF

3.  Set the minor value to any value.

      [TeraTerm command]

     MINOR 2C3D⏎     <- Input HEX data

     (echo) MINOR 2C3D

     (output) -> New MINOR: 2C3D

4.  Exit the command mode.

      [TeraTerm command]

      EXIT⏎

      (echo) EXIT

You can observe the fixed miner value (Ex. 2C3D) using BLE receiver.
