+# *** UPDATE ***
+
+This library is now ready with (mostly)all original BLE library compatiblity.   
+Check the examples and API_DIFFERENCES document for details of using this library.
+ 
+3 simultaneous connections tested stable so far on both client and server.
+
+
+# esp-nimble-cpp
+A fork of the NimBLE stack restructured for compilation in the Ardruino IDE with a CPP library for use with ESP32.
+
+Why? Because the Bluedroid library is too bulky. 
+
+Initial client code testing has resulted in code size reduction of ~115k and reduced ram consumption of ~37k.
+
+  
+# Installation:
+
+Download as .zip and extract to components folder in your esp-idf project.
+
+`#include "NimBLEDevice.h"` in main.cpp.
+
+
+# Usage: 
+
+This library is intended to be compatible with the original ESP32 BLE functions and types with minor changes.
+
+
+# Acknowledgments:
+
+* @nkolban and @chegewara for the [original esp32 BLE library](https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets) this project was derived from.
+* @beegee-tokyo for contributing your time to test/debug and contributing the beacon examples.
+
+
+# Todo:
+
+1. Code cleanup.
+2. Create documentation.
+3. Expose more NimBLE features.
+4. Add BLE Mesh code.
