hi vitor,

discoverDevices was put in there as a placeholder when the driver was written, to be used "later." years passed before anyone even thought about using the shimmer in master mode, but that eventually came to pass, so now it's a matter of having solid justification for implementing the command.

i must say that the stub was not inserted blindly, that exploratory work was done to see how well the roving networks discovery feature worked (answer is that it works about as well as any other bluetooth discovery: hit or miss).

bottom line is that definition of a use case would pre-empt implementation, and an application layer would also be de rigeur:

how do you use the information after you have it? for starters, how do you even see it? (host-side app work)

once you know what (slave) devices are available, how do you select what action to take? how to select among them (host-side? config file on the shimmer?).

i hope that i answered your question. sorry that the answer contains more questions!

Hi!

How can we use discoverDevices? I don't see any event that occurs after
calling this command. Plus, the command returns nothing. So, hot to use it?

Thanks.

Best regards,
