Android Question BLE Receiving/Send problem

chris_sung · Jan 29, 2019

Hi

I Running the "BLE_Example" example,
it appears on the phone that it appears to be connected to the MA3_623 (BC7602) module.

What should I do now? Can I receive(or Sens) Data from MA3_623?

f0raster0 · Jan 29, 2019

try add this:

Dim data1() As Byte = AdvertisingData.Get(-1)
Dim data2() As Byte = AdvertisingData.Get(0)
Dim bc As ByteConverter
Log(bc.HexFromBytes(data1))
Log(bc.HexFromBytes(data2))

maybe is -1 or 0 maybe no, then change it

also look for SetNotify

1. Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.
2. You should post logs as text instead of screenshots.

Yes. It will read the services and characteristics whenever you click on the Read Data button.

You should read this tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ble-bluetooth-low-energy-library.46099/#content
It is about the B4i library however it behaves exactly like the B4A library.

Hi Erel
I tried to modify the two functions in the "BLE_Example".
Have read the MA3_623(module) message

I still don't understand it very much. I need your guidance. Please.

What is the question?

This is the test app provided by the module manufacturer.
How can I receive module data like it?
Ex.
B1 01 01 B1
B1 01 02 B2
B1 00 03 B2

it is battery service

2a19 = battery status
63 = percentage (if i'm right)

For the FFF1 you need to register/setup an Notifier.

Something like

B4X:

Manager.SetCharacteristicNotification("0000fff1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb",True)

Also can also setup an Notifier for the Batterylevel. You´ll get notified if the level changes.

0000fff2-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

The FFF2 can be used to write to the Device (whatever you need to write i don´t know ;-))

PD: Sorry, i can´t help much more as i have not much experience with BLE... I just read a bit in the Documentation...

What do you need to read? What sensors?
have a look to this links:

the battery is 0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
The characteristics are described here: https://developer.bluetooth.org/gatt/characteristics/Pages/CharacteristicsHome.aspx

try to activate setNotify true like that:
manager.SetNotify(0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 00002a19-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, True)

EDIT: maybe is this

try
manager.SetNotify(0000fff0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000fff1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, True)

Add manager.SetNotify, on line 63.
At the moment, press the button, "fff1" has not seen the value display yet.

I have different modules,
using this code I can read the data..

try to change to that:

B4X:

Sub Manager_Connected (services As List)
    Log("Connected")
    connected = True
    ConnectedServices = services
    manager.SetNotify("0000fff0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb", "0000fff1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb", True)
    Log("Set Notify") 
    CallSub(Main, "StateChanged")
End Sub

Sub Manager_DataAvailable (ServiceId As String, Characteristics As Map)
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
    For Each key As String In Characteristics.Keys
        Dim b() As Byte = Characteristics.Get(key)
        Log("Key: " & key &", value: " & bc.HexFromBytes(b))
        'Log(BytesToString(b, 0, b.Length, "utf8") 'useful if the data is actually a string
        If key = "" Then
        End If
    Next

1. rule: never post to existing threads. Always create a new thread for your question.
Did you checked the BLE Examples in the Forum? Did you get any error?

Try the example:

[B4X] BLE 2 - Bluetooth Low Energy

This library replaces the previous BLE library. It is simpler to use and it is more powerful. Its API is based on B4i iBLE library which makes it easy to reuse B4i code. See the iBLE tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ble-bluetooth-low-energy-library.46099/#content Tips &...
