Can not communicate with BL10 old or new bridge wiring way. Please help #173

Open detroitdr opened 7 years ago

Hello all, I'm trying to get the xdrip wireless bridge to work for my son, but I am unable to communicate to the HM10.

HM10 appears to be real, according to the picture layout of the chips and it's a CC2541 I have wired two bridges, the old way and new xbridge2 way. Both have a problem connecting to the HM10 for me to update the firmware to 534.

I'm not a programmer so i've been using the instructions here: https://github.com/jstevensog/wixel-sdk/tree/master/apps/xBridge2

I have loaded the wixel with the USB_serial.wxl, and grabbed the com port (6) I closed the wixel configuration program on (Win 10) and loaded up Putty (also tried Hype!Terminal) with 9600,8, parity NONE, Bits:1 Flow Control none. The wixel yellow light turns on. I send an AT only and the green light flashes quickly but text received is nothing on the terminal. BAUD rate: I have tried EVERY baud rate but that doesn't help either.

I built two of these (old and new way). I find it hard to believe i've screwed both up. I've checked wiring and they appear fine. Below is a link to my rigs

Again i'm not a programmer and i've been re-reading all the instructions on many different pages but I'm stuck. I'm hoping someone says ahhhh you needed to do this.....

Any help please would be greatly appreciated. As parents, we don't get much sleep and hoping this will let us get some... Tired but excited to finish this xdrip, George mytwounits

At a glimpse, your xBridges look good. Here is what I did.

  1. Download the Wixel software and install - https://www.pololu.com/file/0J448/wixel-windows-121129.zip
  2. Download the xBridge file (xBridge2.wxl) - don't have link handy
  3. Connect your Wixel to your computer via USB and write xBridge2.wxl to it
  4. Install latest xDrip on your phone - https://github.com/StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken/xDrip/wiki/Download-Current-Version
  5. In xDrip app, go to Hardware Data Source, set it to "xBridge Wixel"
  6. On your receiver phone, turn on BT and GPS
  7. In your xDrip app, scan for BT devices and select the xBridgexxxx device (DON'T scan for xBridge using your phone's settings)

Your receiver phone and xBridge will connect, and bond after couple of readings. Good luck.
