Feature request: MIDI over BLE #51

Open vamix2012 opened 2 years ago

vamix2012 commented 2 years ago

I have seen lots of BLE Midi projects, my accordeon also uses BLE Midi at this point, it would be cool if we can connect to the WVR via BLE, I have seen that every BLE capable microcontroller can send and recive MIDI messages, check this link :

And this guy shows how two esp32's are connected together via BLE:

Please tell me if that can be possible?

Thank you very much!

This is awesome! Yes I'm sure it can be done. I'll make it a priority to try ASAP.

So I have this working, it was very easy. The thing I am unsure of is, how does the WVR know what to connect to? Should it just initiate a connection to any other available MIDI BLE device?

oh for crying out loud the BT stack is GIGANTIC, it adds almost 400kb to the binary size, WVR would need to have it's flash partitions changed in order to fit the drivers. This is a feature that I think will only be possible to add via Arduino IDE
