Advertising support #3

Open svedmark opened 1 year ago

svedmark commented 1 year ago

I've tested this library for a BLE Beacon scanner, which works well using the device scanner. However, it would be fantastic if support for adding advertisements could be added so it's possible to create beacons also! I noticed the docs for the advertising manager are already in this repo, so this might already be planned or initiated? I haven't DBussed before, but with some collaboration I could maybe contribute to the implementation somehow...

For reference: https://github.com/SuessLabs/Linux.Bluetooth/blob/master/docs/BlueZ/advertising-api.txt

Thanks for the efforts so far btw =]

@svedmark, That would be a good example to include to ensure that the feature is supported.

Added it to the backlog. If you're able to pick up the work item before I do, that would be great. Currently, the main focus I'm targeting is BLE Server supportability.

Thank you @wcoder! As soon as i wrap up the next release of Prism.Avalonia, i'll dig into it 👍

Hello @DamianSuess - I'm trying to understand the current state of your library as it relates to BLE peripheral support. Does your library currently allow for advertisements and acting as a GATT server?

Specifically, I'm trying to understand if this feature request is just to author some demo code or if the actual implementation is still unimplemented?

Thanks in advance!

The GATT Server portion can be wired in, however, I do not have helper classes programmed in just yet. By all means, if you want to contribute a PR to help improve, please do :)
