BTLE SDK and Comm

Posted by Taylor Bernard on June 19, 2013

supposedly a simple XCode sample/example file for talking to arduino in:
release-master -> BLEMini -> SDK - > SimpleControls

i probably won't be using xcode but rather AIR/AS3

found this

another possibly helpful lib:

ok, keep in mind we are using BT LE, i dont know if code is different on that or what. it came out like a year or so ago vs BT which has been around for a while. so curious if it uses a diff protocol

Taylor Bernard on June 19, 2013:

wonder why RedBear Labs would write up their own SDK if theres something else out there already for arduino BT connectivity. may be chip specific communication

found this in a comment from a few months ago...
"Hello, I received the BLE mini module about a week ago and after a lot of testing I figure out there is a problem sending data from arduino (connected to BLEmini via UART) to the iphone app. I initially though it was a bug in my code but I finally discovered there is the same issue in your demo app BLE Chat as well. The problem is basically that some bytes will get lost during the communication between the module and the iphone app. If you try to send a meaningful string from the arduino serial monitor to the ble chat demo app the text is often incomplete (displayed with some missing characters). Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Enrico"

good find.  saved me some work.

Taylor Bernard on July 23, 2013:

just for clarification. that RBL link i posted was for leonardo based chips. like the micro, TinyCircuits TinyDuino, and probably the RFDuino. most of the ultra small chips are leonardo based of their code.
so, the Serial1 fix shouldnt need to be implemented on the UNO we're using now.

here's the chat iOS app i couldnt find till now:

BTLE running on droid now via system update.

Justin Bernard on August 9, 2013:

that is really really really good news/timing...

Taylor Bernard on August 12, 2013:

*** NOTE *** :
TinyCircuits TinyDuino is clone of Arduino UNO chipset. Renaming to Serial0 or Serial1 on BT commands is NOT needed as it was on Arduino Micro prototype.

interesting read, dont know if any of it can be used for our coding though, may help to see how things are done though.

good find but not super appclicable, i think they are just trying to build a flash app that mirrors what the serial output does within the arduino ide.
