ActivLook smart glasses and ESP32 BT LE

Post by dvcam99 »

Hello Matrix Team,

I´m wondering if it is possible to support ESP32 Bluetooth LE (Low Engergy) master mode.

I would like to sent meas data to a ActivLook smart glasses device.

Protocol specs can be found under the following link:

https://github.com/ActiveLook/Activeloo ... 1-ble-gatt

At my FC9 I only see a slave mode. May I overlooked somthing.

Any tips and advice are welcome.

BR

Hi Dirk

I believe Benj has "Master Mode" on his list of ESP requests.

Until then, you could probably experiment by using one of the HC-05 Bluetooth modules. These are cheap, easy to use and can be set to Master or Slave. It would allow you to test until an ESP Master becomes available.

Hi Dirk, Hi Lain

In my opinion, BLE is not yet supported by Flowvode, only "classic BT" with the SPP protocol is already supported,
but the glasses do not work with BT SPP.

I hope soon Flowcode will support BLE.
Then many connections are possible...

regards

Stefan

Hello guys,

many thanks for good informations and feedback. HC-05 could be a work around, not shure if it support Bluetooth LE.

I would prefere the ESP32 BLE direct way via Bluetooth BLE master GATT component. May a good reason to upgrade to FC10 too.
