Top Forums Programming Basic Arduino UNO Bluetooth Testing with the BLE 4.0 (CC2541, MLT-BT04 IC) Post 303043386 by Neo on Monday 27th of January 2020 08:22:00 AM

Update:

Have downloaded, installed and tried a number of python git repos for BLE and macOS. Could not get any of around four python BLE repos to work as I had expected or hoped "out of the box" (for example, no discovery or device listing worked) so I'm going to move this little HM-10 BLE module into temporary storage for now and move on to testing a different Arduino module / shield.

I may return to the HM-10 BLE module if I want to build a BLE app to control some relays with my iPhone, since I was happy with how ArduinoBlue worked OOTB. Unfortunately, ArduinoBlue development seems to be "dead" at the moment and the original developer's email bounces back "account deleted" .

Caveat, I deleted xcode off my mac months ago, so you may have better luck of you use a python wrapper over the xcode BLE libs.

My attention span is now very low with many Arduino modules and shields waiting, in dark, unopened, static resistant packages, to be freed from the drawer, wired up and coded. Smilie

NG_BLUETOOTH(4) 					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					   NG_BLUETOOTH(4)

NAME
ng_bluetooth -- placeholder for global Bluetooth variables SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netgraph/bluetooth/include/ng_bluetooth.h> DESCRIPTION
The ng_bluetooth module is a placeholder for global Bluetooth variables. All Bluetooth variables can be examined and changed via sysctl(8). Bluetooth Variables Below is the description of default variables. Each Bluetooth module might add its own variables to the tree. net.bluetooth.version A read-only integer variable that shows the current version of the Bluetooth stack. net.bluetooth.hci.command_timeout A read-write integer variable that controls the Host Controller Interface (HCI) command timeout (in seconds), i.e., how long the HCI layer will wait for the Command_Complete or Command_Status event from a Bluetooth device. net.bluetooth.hci.connection_timeout A read-write integer variable that controls the HCI connection timeout, i.e. how long the HCI layer will wait for the Connection_Complete event. Normally this should not be required as Bluetooth devices have connection timeout of their own and will send event back. This timeout is required to ensure that no connection will stall in case when the HCI transport layer is broken. Be careful when changing this variable. Make sure you understand what you are doing. net.bluetooth.hci.max_neighbor_age A read-write integer variable that controls time-to-live (in seconds) for entries in the HCI neighbor cache. Every time a Bluetooth device performs an Inquiry operation, the results will be put in cache. Later when a Bluetooth device establishes a baseband connec- tion, it will try to find the matching entry in the cache and use it. This might speed up establishment of the baseband connection. net.bluetooth.l2cap.rtx_timeout A read-write integer variable that controls the Link Layer Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) Retransmission Timeout (RTX) (in seconds). Every time the L2CAP layer submits a control command, the RTX timeout is set. The value of the RTX timeout should be greater or equal to the value of the HCI connection timeout. Be careful when changing this variable. Make sure you understand what you are doing. net.bluetooth.l2cap.ertx_timeout A read-write integer variable that controls the L2CAP Extended Retransmission Timeout (ERTX) (in seconds). In some cases remote peer may respond with PENDING status to the L2CAP control command. In this case the L2CAP command timeout is reset to the ERTX timeout value. The value of the ERTX timeout should be greater or equal to the value of the RTX timeout. Be careful when changing this variable. Make sure you understand what you are doing. SEE ALSO
