Write documentation, including the dependencies, etc.

TOTON95 commented 6 years ago

Greetings,

I found this implementation in ROS of a BLE client, and so far I installed it using libgatt as a dependency, and I fell in love with your re-connect feature, I am not able to send (I send the messages to the topic but I am not able to verify if they are right) or read (no clue at all) values, also I don't know how to register the notifications, only how to activate them but no how to specify it.

Please, can you provide any example to complete and/or a brief quick guide would be even great?

P.s. I am willing to help in the development of this project and open the BLE world to ROS once for all.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @TOTON95 we are working on the improvement of the documentation, especially on guides on how to install and use it. But it might take some more days. I'll inform you as soon as we have more. Best

TOTON95 commented 6 years ago

Hello @ChristianHirsch,

Thanks for your response, I will wait a little more then, meanwhile I am going to continue to analyze the code a little bit deeper.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings.

ChristianHirsch commented 6 years ago

Hi @TOTON95, can you check out exampleSpektrumRC.md and tell me if this is sufficient for you?

TOTON95 commented 6 years ago

@ChristianHirsch, thank you!!!, I will give it a try in these days, also thanks for add the arduino example. I saw that you made some changes to the node code, using a direct function instead. Hopefully, meanwhile I am doing my tests, I will encounter with the bug and find a way to remove it (I am interested in getting the C/C++ implementation), i will post it if founded.

I will keep in touch with you.

Greetings.

Hi @ChristianHirsch, could it be that the "Setting up gattlib" part has an error? There is no libgatt folder in the repo described.

Kind regards.

TOTON95 commented 6 years ago

@jagomo, indeed I forgot to mention that since I figured out my way to install libgatt from other source

ChristianHirsch commented 6 years ago

@jagomo yes, you are right, there were some repo mismatches. I updated the file. Can you confirm that it works now?

jagomo commented 6 years ago

@ChristianHirsch Yup, works like a charm now. At least up to the catkin_make part :)
