/* Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCMOYS71NIU Based on Neil Kolban example for IDF: https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets/blob/master/cpp_utils/tests/BLE%20Tests/SampleNotify.cpp Ported to Arduino ESP32 by Evandro Copercini Create a BLE server that, once we receive a connection, will send periodic notifications. The service advertises itself as: 6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E Has a characteristic of: 6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E - used for receiving data with "WRITE" Has a characteristic of: 6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E - used to send data with "NOTIFY" The design of creating the BLE server is: 1. Create a BLE Server 2. Create a BLE Service 3. Create a BLE Characteristic on the Service 4. Create a BLE Descriptor on the characteristic 5. Start the service. 6. Start advertising. In this example rxValue is the data received (only accessible inside that function). And txValue is the data to be sent, in this example just a byte incremented every second. */ #include #include #include #include BLEServer *pServer = NULL; BLECharacteristic *pTxCharacteristic; bool deviceConnected = false; bool oldDeviceConnected = false; uint8_t txValue = 0; // See the following for generating UUIDs: // https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ #define SERVICE_UUID "6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E" // UART service UUID #define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_RX "6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E" #define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_TX "6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E" class MyServerCallbacks : public BLEServerCallbacks { void onConnect(BLEServer *pServer) { deviceConnected = true; Serial.println("Device connected"); }; void onDisconnect(BLEServer *pServer) { deviceConnected = false; Serial.println("Device disconnected"); } }; class MyCallbacks : public BLECharacteristicCallbacks { void onWrite(BLECharacteristic *pCharacteristic) { String rxValue = pCharacteristic->getValue(); if (rxValue.length() > 0) { Serial.println("*********"); Serial.print("Received Value: "); for (int i = 0; i < rxValue.length(); i++) { Serial.print(rxValue[i]); } Serial.println(); Serial.println("*********"); } } }; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); // Create the BLE Device BLEDevice::init("UART Service"); // Create the BLE Server pServer = BLEDevice::createServer(); pServer->setCallbacks(new MyServerCallbacks()); // Create the BLE Service BLEService *pService = pServer->createService(SERVICE_UUID); // Create a BLE Characteristic pTxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_TX, BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY); // Descriptor 2902 is not required when using NimBLE as it is automatically added based on the characteristic properties pTxCharacteristic->addDescriptor(new BLE2902()); BLECharacteristic *pRxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_RX, BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE); pRxCharacteristic->setCallbacks(new MyCallbacks()); // Start the service pService->start(); // Start advertising pServer->getAdvertising()->start(); Serial.println("Waiting a client connection to notify..."); } void loop() { if (deviceConnected) { Serial.print("Notifying Value: "); Serial.println(txValue); pTxCharacteristic->setValue(&txValue, 1); pTxCharacteristic->notify(); txValue++; delay(1000); // Notifying every 1 second } // disconnecting if (!deviceConnected && oldDeviceConnected) { delay(500); // give the bluetooth stack the chance to get things ready pServer->startAdvertising(); // restart advertising Serial.println("Started advertising again..."); oldDeviceConnected = false; } // connecting if (deviceConnected && !oldDeviceConnected) { // do stuff here on connecting oldDeviceConnected = true; } }
