Bluetooth Low Energy head-up display

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156820199717852&id=92684932851

How it works

The application on the phone sends instructions to ESP32 using Bluetooth Low Energy:

• The phone acts as BLE Central (also called Master, Client)
• ESP32 acts as BLE Peripheral (also called Slave, Server)

Application iOS

Currently the only compatible application is available on iOS: Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps

To enable BLE HUD in the app (it's an unofficial prototype feature):

• Menu / Settings / Info / About / tap 3 times on any item (new line About appears at the top) / About / BLE HUD / Start
• Bluetooth permission required

Notes:

• When BLE HUD enabled, the application automatically scans and connects to ESP32 module (the app must be in foreground)
• When already connected and the route is set, the phone screen can be turned off
• The feature becomes off after restarting the application
• During route recompute (e.g. when I miss my turn) "No route" message can temporarily appear on ESP32

Supported ESP32 modules

• ESP32 with external OLED display 128x128 (enabled by-default), how to connect
• ESP32 TTGO T-Display with embedded TFT 135x240, how to enable

Technical info

1. Connection flow:
   1. Central (the application on the phone) scans for a Peripheral with wanted service UUID (see Table of UUIDs) - it's going to be our ESP32
   2. The application connects to the first found device
2. Sending instruction:
   1. Central writes new data to the characteristic (see Table of UUIDs) as soon as the data changes (current speed limit or an instruction)
   2. Data example: 0x01320A3335306D, meaning: basic data (0x01), current speed limit is 50km/h (0x32), turn right (0x0A) in 350m (0x3335306D, not null-terminated string)
   3. If the app doesn't send an update for a few seconds, ESP32 sends an empty indication (see Table of UUIDs), letting the app know that it wants a data update

TTGO T-Display

To enable TTGO T-Display:

1. Download library TFT_eSPI adjusted by TTGO, copy TFT_eSPI folder to Arduino/libraries
2. Uncomment display in code

   
   // comment out these lines 
   #include "OLED_SSD1351_nolib.h"
   OLED_SSD1351_nolib selectedDisplay;
   constexpr bool ENABLE_VOLTAGE_MEASUREMENT = false;

// uncomment these lines //#include "TFT_TTGO.h" //TFT_TTGO selectedDisplay; //constexpr bool ENABLE_VOLTAGE_MEASUREMENT = true;

### Display OLED 128x128
Display: Waveshare 14747 128x128 OLED RGB ([link](https://www.waveshare.com/1.5inch-rgb-oled-module.htm))

Protocol: SSD1351

*Note: there is a great graphics library for this display: [Adafruit-SSD1351-library](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-SSD1351-library), but it's not used in this project.*
