Previously we used createServer() to get a reference to the server instance. This was problematic when using advertising only as it would create a server when starting advertising. This prevents that and provides better semantics.
*** UPDATE ***
Client long read/write characteristics/descriptors now working. We are now nearing 100% replacement of the original cpp_utils BLE library 😄
esp-nimble-cpp
NimBLE CPP library for use with ESP32 that attempts to maintain compatibility with the @nkolban cpp_uitls API.
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.
Run menuconfig, go to Component config->Bluetooth-> enable Bluetooth and select NimBLE host.
#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.
Check API_DIFFERENCES for details.
Acknowledgments:
- @nkolban and @chegewara for the original esp32 BLE library this project was derived from.
- @beegee-tokyo for contributing your time to test/debug and contributing the beacon examples.
Todo:
- Code cleanup.
- Create documentation.
- Expose more NimBLE features.
- Add BLE Mesh code.
