This example demonstrates using the GattClient API to control BLE client devices. The canonical source for this example lives at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-ble/tree/master/BLE_LEDBlinker
BLE LED Blinker
This example demonstrates using the ``GattClient`` API to control BLE client devices.
The example uses two applications running on two different devices:
- The first device - the central - runs the application ``BLE_LEDBlinker`` from this repository. This application sends an on/off toggle over BLE.
- The second device - the peripheral - runs the application ``BLE_LED`` to respond to the toggle.
The toggle simply turns the LED on the peripheral device on and off.
Running the application
Requirements
Hardware requirements are in the main readme.
This example requires *two* devices.
Building instructions
You will need to build both applications and flash each one to a different board.
Please note: The application BLE_LEDBlinker
in this repository initiate a connection to all ble devices which advertise "LED" as complete local name. By default, the application BLE_LED
advertises "LED" as complete local name. If you change the local name advertised by the application BLE_LED
you should reflect your change in this application by changing the value of the constant PEER_NAME
in main.cpp
.
Tip: You may notice that the application also checks the LED characteristic's UUID; you don't need to change this parameter's value, because it already matches the UUID provided by the second application, BLE_LED
.
Building with mbed CLI
If you'd like to use mbed CLI to build this, then you should refer to the main readme. The instructions here relate to using the developer.mbed.org Online Compiler
In order to build this example in the mbed Online Compiler, first import the example using the ‘Import’ button on the right hand side.
Next, select a platform to build for. This must either be a platform that supports BLE, for example the NRF51-DK, or one of the following:
List of platforms supporting Bluetooth Low Energy
Or you must also add a piece of hardware and the supporting library that includes a Bluetooth Low Energy driver for that hardware, for example the K64F or NUCLEO_F401RE with the X-NUCLEO-IDB05A1
List of components supporting Bluetooth Low Energy.
Once you have selected your platform, compile the example and drag and drop the resulting binary onto your board.
For general instructions on using the mbed Online Compiler, please see the mbed Handbook
Checking for success
- Build both applications and install one on each device, as explained in the building instructions.
- The LED number two of the device running ``BLE_LED`` should blink.
Monitoring the application through a serial port
You can run ``BLE_LEDBlinker`` and see that it works properly by monitoring its serial output.
You need a terminal program to listen to the output through a serial port. You can download one, for example:
- Tera Term for Windows.
- CoolTerm for Mac OS X.
- GNU Screen for Linux.
To see the application's output:
- Check which serial port your device is connected to.
- Run a terminal program with the correct serial port and set the baud rate to 9600. For example, to use GNU Screen, run: ``screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1412 9600``.
- The application should start printing the toggle's value to the terminal.
Note: ``BLE_LEDBlinker`` will not run properly if the ``BLE_LED`` application is not running on a second device. The terminal will show a few print statements, but you will not be able to see the application in full operation.
