Blend Micro: Device not discoverable by Android BLE Controller app #14

Closed AndrazP closed 9 years ago

AndrazP commented 9 years ago

I tried BLEControllerSketch and SimpleChat example on Blend Micro, but I can't connect to the board with BLE Controller app for Android. The board is not discoverable. I don't have this problems with Read bear lab examples. I'm doing something wrong? I see pins are already set correctly for blend micro.

The same story with LigthBlue app for Mac. With this library examples the device is not discoverable, RBL examples work fine.

@AndrazP works for me when I open the serial monitor. Can you please try this?

I think the while(!Serial) {} needs to be removed.

AndrazP commented 9 years ago

No, this is not a problem. Because I get "BLE UART Peripheral" string which is printed on the end of setup(); loop() is also working, but I can connect to the board because it's not visible.

Weird, both examples are working for me, and I can see the device from my Mac (OS X 10.10) and iPhone (iOS 8.1.2).

Can you run we debug on, uncomment: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-BLEPeripheral/blob/master/nRF8001.cpp#L3

Tried once more and it can be detected with every BLE app, with my Android app, only with Red bear lab BLE Controller app not. Thanks for great library!

@AndrazP thanks for the followup.

Just to clarify, you we're trying to use this example app? https://github.com/RedBearLab/Android/tree/master/Examples/BLEController

@AndrazP I'm seeing the same thing with my Nexus 7 running 5.0 and the app. Couldn't see anything obvious in the Android SDK they open sourced.

However, their iOS app detected the Blend Micro running the RBL contributed examples.
