BLE central example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example creates GATT client and performs passive scan, it then connects to peripheral device if the device advertises connectability and the device advertises support for the Alert Notification service (0x1811) as primary service UUID.

It performs three GATT operations against the specified peer:

  • Reads the ANS Supported New Alert Category characteristic.

  • After the read operation is completed, writes the ANS Alert Notification Control Point characteristic.

  • After the write operation is completed, subscribes to notifications for the ANS Unread Alert Status characteristic.

If the peer does not support a required service, characteristic, or descriptor, then the peer lied when it claimed support for the alert notification service! When this happens, or if a GATT procedure fails, this function immediately terminates the connection.

It uses ESP32's Bluetooth controller and NimBLE stack based BLE host.

This example aims at understanding BLE service discovery, connection and characteristic operations.

To test this demo, use any BLE GATT server app that advertises support for the Alert Notification service (0x1811) and includes it in the GATT database.

How to use example

Configure the project

make menuconfig
  • Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options.

  • Select 'Enable NimBLE host stack' under 'Component config > Bluetooth'.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

make -j4 flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

There is this console output on successful connection:
