How to update the library BLEPeriferal higher than 0.3.1 in Arduino 1.8.1 ?

[bossesand]

I cannot get the Arduino 1.8.1 to update BLEPeriferal higher than 0,3,1 I have downloaded the arduino-BLEPeriferal-master.zip but when I try to add as a zip library I cannot really see anything happening.

It is probably an easy step but I have difficulty remembering how I updated to 4.0 before, and now I backed down as I wanted to remove the library and reinstall it with the latest examples.

Think I have the libraries in correct place now, but examples do not compile... My C++ Skill is near zero...

The serial example does not compile for me C:\Users\bosse\Documents\Arduino\serial\serial.ino: In function 'void setup()': serial:29: error: request for member 'setLocalName' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' BLESerial.setLocalName("UART"); ^ serial:32: error: request for member 'begin' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' BLESerial.begin(); C:\Users\bosse\Documents\Arduino\serial\serial.ino: In function 'void loop()': serial:36: error: request for member 'poll' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' BLESerial.poll(); ^ C:\Users\bosse\Documents\Arduino\serial\serial.ino: In function 'void forward()': serial:48: error: request for member 'read' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' while ((byte = BLESerial.read()) > 0) Serial.write((char)byte); ^ serial:49: error: request for member 'write' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' while ((byte = Serial.read()) > 0) BLESerial.write((char)byte); ^ C:\Users\bosse\Documents\Arduino\serial\serial.ino: In function 'void loopback()': serial:57: error: request for member 'read' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' while ((byte = BLESerial.read()) > 0) BLESerial.write(byte); ^ serial:57: error: request for member 'write' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' while ((byte = BLESerial.read()) > 0) BLESerial.write(byte); ^ C:\Users\bosse\Documents\Arduino\serial\serial.ino: In function 'void spam()': serial:64: error: request for member 'print' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()' BLESerial.print(millis()); ^ serial:65: error: request for member 'println' in 'BLESerial', which is of non-class type 'BLESerial()'

 BLESerial.println(" tick-tacks!");

hi @bossesand i have faced this issue you have to remove this line

//custom boards may override default pin definitions with BLESerial(PIN_REQ, PIN_RDY, PIN_RST) BLESerial BLESerial();

and add the following lines

define BLE_REQ 5

define BLE_RDY 4

define BLE_RST 6

BLESerial BLESerial(BLE_REQ, BLE_RDY, BLE_RST);

now it will work

IDE 1.8.2 lists v0.4.0 of the library is available (and installed) for me, I suggest you post something on forum.arduino.cc
