## Installation
### PlatformIO
```diff
lib_deps =
+ senseshift/Serial_BLE
```
## Client-side usage
- Android:
- [nRF connect for mobile](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp)
- [Serial Bluetooth Terminal](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kai_morich.serial_bluetooth_terminal)
- iOS:
- [nRF connect for mobile](https://apps.apple.com/es/app/nrf-connect-for-mobile/id1054362403)
## Usage
For all examples, take a look at the [`examples`](./examples) folder.
### Basic Example
```ino
#include
BLESerial<> SerialBLE;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
SerialBLE.begin("ESP32-BLE-Slave");
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available()) {
SerialBLE.write(Serial.read());
SerialBLE.flush();
}
if (SerialBLE.available()) {
Serial.write(SerialBLE.read());
}
}
```
### Custom UART characteristics
Using custom UUIDs for [Microchip BM70/RN4870 Transparent UART](https://developerhelp.microchip.com/xwiki/bin/view/applications/ble/android-development-for-bm70rn4870/transparent-uart-service-for-bm70rn4870/)
```ino
// ...
void setup() {
// ...
SerialBLE.begin(
"ESP32-BLE-Slave",
"49535343-FE7D-4AE5-8FA9-9FAFD205E455",
"49535343-1E4D-4BD9-BA61-23C647249616",
"49535343-8841-43F4-A8D4-ECBE34729BB3"
);
// ...
}
// ...
```
#### Alternative
```ino
// ...
void setup() {
// ...
BLEDevice::init("ESP32-BLE-Slave");
BLEServer* pServer = BLEDevice::createServer();
auto pService = pServer->createService("49535343-FE7D-4AE5-8FA9-9FAFD205E455");
auto pRxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic("49535343-1E4D-4BD9-BA61-23C647249616", BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE_NR | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY);
auto pTxCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic("49535343-8841-43F4-A8D4-ECBE34729BB3", BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_READ | BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY);
SerialBLE.begin(pRxCharacteristic, pTxCharacteristic);
// ...
}
// ...
```
### Custom Read Buffer
#### ETL (Embedded Template Library)
Using [ETL](https://github.com/ETLCPP/etl) provides a way to use this library without dynamic memory allocation.
```ino
#include
#include
#include
BLESerial> SerialBLE;
BLESerial> SerialBLE;
```
## NimBLE
Using the NimBLE library saves a significant amount of RAM and Flash memory.
ESP32 BLE
RAM: [= ] 11.9% (used 39124 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [========= ] 85.9% (used 1125553 bytes from 1310720 bytes)
NimBLE-Arduino
RAM: [= ] 9.3% (used 30548 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [==== ] 44.2% (used 579158 bytes from 1310720 bytes)
### Arduino IDE
1. Make sure to install `NimBLE-Arduino` library in Arduino IDE.
2. Update `BLESERIAL_USE_NIMBLE` setting **Before** including library header:
```diff
+ #define BLESERIAL_USE_NIMBLE true
#include
```
Alternatively, Ρhange the following line in `BLESerial.h`:
```diff
- # define BLESERIAL_USE_NIMBLE false
+ # define BLESERIAL_USE_NIMBLE true
```
### PlatformIO
Change your `platformio.ini` file to the following settings:
```diff
lib_deps =
+ h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino@^1.4.0
build_flags =
+ -D BLESERIAL_USE_NIMBLE=true
```
