Closed farfromrefug closed 7 years ago

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

I now got it work and it is already discovering a lot of devices ! Now about the device that i am interested in. The advertisment data is always empty

{ localName: null,
  txPowerLevel: null,
  manufacturerData: null,
  serviceUuids: [],
  serviceData: [] }

I see this in my log before i get the 'discover' event:

Maybe advertisment is not already implemented?

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

I now see in the code that manufacturerData is not implemented yet. Will try to implement it and make a PR

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

@jasongin i am new to nodeRT dev. Do you know how i can convert a IBuffer to a node Buffer? I am trying to get the data from BluetoothLEManufacturerData

jasongin commented 7 years ago

Cool, a PR would be appreciated.

Use rt.toBuffer() from rt-utils.js to convert from a WinRT IBuffer to a Node Buffer.

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

@jasongin ok rt.toBuffer() works. Now the issue is that IBuffer does not seem to contain what it should. I am investigating

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

created the PR https://github.com/jasongin/noble-uwp/pull/9

ghost commented 7 years ago

9 was merged, so this can be closed?

farfromrefug commented 7 years ago

Yes it's done !

jasongin commented 7 years ago

It was merged into the develop branch. I still need to merge into the master branch and publish a new package to NPM. I'll do that soon!

jasongin commented 7 years ago

Merged to master and published to NPM as v0.3.1.

Hi, as I see advertisement now exsists, but on all my Apple Devices (I don't have others at the moment to test It) I see localName: null.

Have this problem too?

jasongin commented 7 years ago

@hoffmannjan Not all devices supply a localName in their advertisement. Do you see a localName value when running the same code using noble on a non-Windows device?

hoffmannjan commented 7 years ago

Yes, when I'm using noble on MacOS detected deveices have theier local names like 'Jan Hoffmanns iPhone'. When I switch to ASUS laptop, all of them has empty local name.

Will try to test with another BT stick in Asus.
