/* 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 updated by chegewara Create a BLE server that, once we receive a connection, will send periodic notifications. The service advertises itself as: 4fafc201-1fb5-459e-8fcc-c5c9c331914b And has a characteristic of: beb5483e-36e1-4688-b7f5-ea07361b26a8 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. A connect hander associated with the server starts a background task that performs notification every couple of seconds. */ #include #include #include #include BLEServer* pServer = NULL; BLECharacteristic* pCharacteristic = NULL; bool deviceConnected = false; bool oldDeviceConnected = false; uint32_t value = 0; // See the following for generating UUIDs: // https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ #define SERVICE_UUID "4fafc201-1fb5-459e-8fcc-c5c9c331914b" #define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID "beb5483e-36e1-4688-b7f5-ea07361b26a8" class MyServerCallbacks: public BLEServerCallbacks { void onConnect(BLEServer* pServer) { deviceConnected = true; BLEDevice::startAdvertising(); }; void onDisconnect(BLEServer* pServer) { deviceConnected = false; } }; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); // Create the BLE Device BLEDevice::init("ESP32"); // 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 pCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic( CHARACTERISTIC_UUID, BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_READ | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_INDICATE ); // https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/gatt/viewer?attributeXmlFile=org.bluetooth.descriptor.gatt.client_characteristic_configuration.xml // Create a BLE Descriptor pCharacteristic->addDescriptor(new BLE2902()); // Start the service pService->start(); // Start advertising BLEAdvertising *pAdvertising = BLEDevice::getAdvertising(); pAdvertising->addServiceUUID(SERVICE_UUID); pAdvertising->setScanResponse(false); pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x0); // set value to 0x00 to not advertise this parameter BLEDevice::startAdvertising(); Serial.println("Waiting a client connection to notify..."); } void loop() { // notify changed value if (deviceConnected) { pCharacteristic->setValue((uint8_t*)&value, 4); pCharacteristic->notify(); value++; delay(10); // bluetooth stack will go into congestion, if too many packets are sent, in 6 hours test i was able to go as low as 3ms } // disconnecting if (!deviceConnected && oldDeviceConnected) { delay(500); // give the bluetooth stack the chance to get things ready pServer->startAdvertising(); // restart advertising Serial.println("start advertising"); oldDeviceConnected = deviceConnected; } // connecting if (deviceConnected && !oldDeviceConnected) { // do stuff here on connecting oldDeviceConnected = deviceConnected; } }
