BLE Mesh Heartbeat Messages

I've downloaded the bluetooth toolbox and started playing around with the BLE mesh flooding example. For my application scenario, I need access to the heartbeat messages to calculate the TTL used to reach the sink node. Are heartbeat message implemented in the toolbox? If so, how to manipulate them?

thanks

What exactly do you mean by "heartbeat"? Is this a medical/ECG application?

If you have any more questions, then attach your data and code to read it in with the paperclip icon after you read this:

Heartbeat in this kind of situation refers to periodic messages that are sent to indicate that the system is still active.

@Walter Roberson yes, that is correct. This is the definition as per the Bluetooth Mesh Glossary of terms

I removed the URL. Although the site itself appears to be legitimate, it has pop-up pornography advertisements that you cannot get out of (without closing the browser), and which persisted on my phone even after I rebooted the phone.

Hi,

I understand that you’re working with BLE mesh flooding example and want to know if the heartbeat messages are accessible. Unfortunately, the functionality is not yet supported by the Bluetooth toolbox. But to perform any analysis, the TTL value can be configured by using “bluetoothMeshProfileConfig”. For more information refer to the link below which might be of some help to you.
