ESP32 BLE Arduino?
« on: July 12, 2017, 04:10:15 pm »
Hey all!

Has anyone had success in using the BLE capability of the ESP32 with the Arduino environment yet? If so, are there any libraries you've worked with that had good functionality? ::)

Its not Arduino, and I have to confess to not having tried it yet, but this fellow has tutorials on BLE via the ESP-IDF. He's written some C++ classes that seem to simplify the process a good bit.

Last time I tried, it wasn't working. Nor the dual core aspect. That was a few moths ago though. It isnt a real update over the 8266 if you are using arduino.

There's always a few bugs in new devices.
But, you know, when the main reason to buy something does not work... I call that huge fail, not a bug.

The chip is still twice as fast and has a couple of nice upgrades. But yeah, the ability to use both cores is nice.

I am not sure if the following guide is specific for the ESP32 Thing from SparkFun... it might work with any ESP32 boards.

PSOC has quite a good code base and video library.

If people are looking for other BLE solutions, I can recommend the ST BlueNRG lines. It can work as a coprocessor or you can put your code in the SoC itself so it has lots of flexibility on what you can do.

Our newest product uses it and while we don't push all of the aspects of BLE, it seems to work well with good range. The API is relatively easy to use.

I have done BLE communication between Android phone and ESP32 (i also tested between Win10 and ESP32). Komoot navigation app in sending navigation markers to ESP32. And i use Arduino enviroment.
