+# Avertise UID Buffer
+
+Advertises a UID via the Eddystone protocol over Bluetooth.
+
+## ~hint
+
+### Eddystone
+
+Bluetooth beacons are used to indicate proximity to a place or object of interest. 
+Beacons use Bluetooth advertising to broadcast a small amount of data, 
+which can be received and acted upon by anyone in range with a suitable device and software, typically a smartphone and application.
+
+There are various beacon message formats, which define the way Bluetooth advertising packets are used as containers for beacon data. 
+iBeacon is Apple's beacon message format. Eddystone comes from Google.

+bluetooth.advertiseUidBuffer(pins.createBuffer(16), 7, true);

+
+### Parameters
+
+* ``buffer`` - a 16 bytes buffer containing the namespace (first 10 bytes) and instance (last 6 bytes).
+* ``power`` - a [number](/reference/types/number) representing the power level between 0 (short) and 7 (maximum range).
+* ``connectable`` - a [boolean](/reference/type/boolean) indicating whether or not the micro:bit should accept connections.

+bluetooth.advertiseUid(42, 1, 7, true);
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+* ``namespace`` last 4 bytes of the namespace uid (6 to 9)
+* ``instance`` last 4 bytes of the instance (2 to 5)
+* ``power`` - a [number](/reference/types/number) representing the power level between 0 (short) and 7 (maximum range).
+* ``connectable`` - a [boolean](/reference/type/boolean) indicating whether or not the micro:bit should accept connections. 
+
+## Encoding
+
+The bytes of ``namespace`` and ``instance`` are encoded to generate the 10 bytes UID namespace and 6 bytes UID instance.
+
+```
+UID namespace: [0, ..., namespace]
+UID instance: [0, ..., instance]
+```

 ```
 
 ### Parameters
 
 * ``url`` - a [string](/reference/types/string) containing the URL to broadcast, at most 17 characters long, excluding the protocol (eg: ``https://``) which gets encoded as 1 byte.
 * ``power`` - a [number](/reference/types/number) representing the power level between 0 (short) and 7 (maximum range).
+* ``connectable`` - a [boolean](/reference/type/boolean) indicating whether or not the micro:bit should accept connections. 
 
 ### Example: Broadcast a secret code
 
 ```blocks
-bluetooth.advertiseUrl("https://pxt.io?secret=42", 7, true);
+bluetooth.advertiseUrl("https://pxt.io?secret=42", true);
 ```
