Send/Receive data using BLE and MBED | BBC Microbit

BLE Microbit

BLE

This video is all about sending and receiving data between BBC Microbit and any BLE enabled smart phone. Over here I have used C/C++ (MBED) as the programming language as other language (Python/JavaScript) don’t support UART data transfer service.

 

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized, codable computer that allows anyone to get creative with technology. Made possible through a major partnership with 31 organisations, a micro:bit has been given to every 11 or 12 year old child in year 7 or equivalent across the UK, for free.

MicroBit uBit;

int connected = 0;

void onConnected(MicroBitEvent)

    uBit.display.scroll("C");

    connected = 1;

    // mobile app will send ASCII strings terminated with the colon character
    ManagedString eom(":");

    while(connected == 1) {
        ManagedString msg = uart->readUntil(eom);
        uBit.display.scroll(msg);

}

    uBit.display.scroll("D");
    connected = 0;
}

void onButtonA(MicroBitEvent)
{
    if (connected == 0) {
        return;
    }
    uart->send(ManagedString("Connected"));
    uBit.display.scroll("Y");
}

int main()
{
    // Initialise the micro:bit runtime.
    uBit.init();

  uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BLE, MICROBIT_BLE_EVT_CONNECTED, onConnected);
  uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BLE, MICROBIT_BLE_EVT_DISCONNECTED, onDisconnected);

    uart = new MicroBitUARTService(*uBit.ble, 32, 32);
    uBit.display.scroll("Ready");

  release_fiber();
