Bluetooth (ESP32 SPP) component

Bluetooth slave component designed to run on a ESP32 providing legacy SPP functionality. BT Legacy functionality must be switched on via the sdkconfig file.

Detailed description

No detailed description exists yet for this component

Examples

The SPP legacy bluetooth mode must be enabled in the ESP32 config file to allow SSP to work. To do this open the sdkconfig file from the project build directory into a text editor.

Find this section in the file

CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_MODE_BLE_ONLY=y

  1. CONFIG_BTDM_CTRL_MODE_BR_EDR_ONLY is not set

And change to this.

Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-10-icon.png Device Name
Sets the Bluetooth device friendly name 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Receive Buffer
Configures the size of the receive buffer in bytes to store incoming data until we are ready to receive it. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Data Receive Interrupt
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Verbose Debug
When enabled debug messages will be placed onto UART CH1 which is generally connected to via a Serial to USB IC to pipe messages back to the host PC.

Fc9-type-16-icon.png COM Port
Selects which port to communicate with, only lists ports which are currently available.  
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Refresh COM Ports
When set to yes the COM port list is rescanned for newly connected or available ports. Note that refreshing the ports list may take a few seconds depending on the number of connected ports.
