ESP32 BLE Advertiser Example - iOS (iPhone/Mac)

[tribalmatt]

Hi team,

I am finally back writing code and exploring and I need to connect a phone to an esp32 over some wireless method.

I went and built the example "ble/advertiser" and ran this on a esp32 device. I then opened the settings on my iPhone and looked for a device being published there. I did not see anything? I also checked the BlueSee app and did not see anything here. There were some notes from 2018 that Ben sent out about config files. But I think this are dated now. I do load in xsBug properly with no errors.

Is there something obvious I am missing? Are my expectations wrong? I don't have my Moddable 2 with me or the book to check these resources.

Thanks for any pointers,
Matt

I am finally back writing code...

A good way to start the year.

I also checked the BlueSee app

I'm not familiar with BlueSee. Perhaps try using nRF Connect or LightBlue. Both see the example advertisement as expected.

If that doesn't work, you might also try seting breakpoints in xsbug just to be sure that startAdvertising is called as expected.

Thanks for the note back. I did a clean rebuild of everything and reinstalled the esp-idf sdk and now everything is working. I am not sure what I had wrong, but it works as expected now. Lastly I tried updating to the 4.3.2 esp-idf and that currently seems to have some configuration mismatches with moddable sdk. Is that correct? I did not see any notes about this in the discussion. This was on Mac OS X Thx, Matt

Glad to hear BLE is working for you.

ESP-IDF 4.3.2 should work without problems. That is what our documentation recommends and what I'm currently using. Sometimes updating the ESP-IDF doesn't succeed as there are lots of sub-repositories. You might just try a clean pull of the full ESP-IDF:

cd ~/esp32
git clone -b v4.3.2 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git

Thanks again. I forgot I was on my PR branch from back in October. So my documentation said to use 4.3.1. Which of course made sense based on that date. I rebased and all is good.
