Re: Stupid Q No 999: mergeBLE
On my Macintosh, when I have my mBot robot recognised by Bluetooth lets me see the following in mergBLE 1.1.15: This demo both scans for and advertises the service and characteristics below along with a random read only characteristic. Run it on two devices and you should be able to move the slider on each device and see the changes on the other device. Each device will act as both peripheral and central. Central : unsupported Peripheral : powered on Service 47EC425E-633F-4F04-9A65-DEDEB (rest unreadable because field is too short) Connections Central 0372A886-E203-415E-A94A-40-C9D11606 Peripheral Monte's iPhone which has Nix to do with this: An Android tablet I have tells me the UUID numbers for the mBot are: Custom service: FFE1--1000-8000-00805F9B34FB and Custom service: FFE4--1000-8000-00805F9B34FB So, no "joy" at all.
