I haven’t tried using Windows… so unfortunately, I don’t have any suggestions to help. 🙁

My guess would be that if you have a Windows library that can do BTLE… The UUIDs I found for the Characteristics and Services should be the same?? However that is purely a guess. Maybe have the Windows machines scan for devices/services and print out what it finds… If it can see the Bluno, I think it should be able to connect?

If you get some information, I’d love to find out the answer too!

DfRobot say not possible but there’s an add to the Windows IoT Git. No mention of Characteristics or Services though. Any help greatly appreciated.

Your post mentioned using “DFB0” and “DFB1”. These are the iOS ones.

For Android, you need to use the longer UUIDs. See my post here:
http://www.cevinius.com/2016/08/17/serial-communication-with-the-bluno-using-bluetooth-le/

All the best.

Kevin

To confirm, you are using iOS?

I used the example scenes as a reference to see how the plug in was used, but I think I didn’t keep much of that code in the end.

I suggest writing an interactive app first to try out all the commands and get the connection working. E.g. Make an app with buttons and
UI to go through all the steps of connecting, so that you can see what values you get returned, how long each step takes, etc.
Roughly, you need to:
Initialize()
ScanForPeripheralsWithServices()…
In the callback for ScanForPeripheralsWithServices… you need to check for when the Bluno is found.
Then call ConnectToPeripheral()when the Bluno is found.
Then in the callback for that, you need to use SubscribeCharacteristic()

After the connection is set up… you send data using WriteCharacteristic()
And you will receive data back in the callback you passed into SubscribeCharacteristic()

The Arduino code just writes data to the serial port. My Arduino code is shared on Github.

Hope that helps. When I have time, I will try to write a more detailed post on this.

I have used that plugin. I find it’s reliable on iOS, but not so reliable on Android anymore. (It used to work fine on Android 5, but doesn’t seem as reliable since Android 6.)

I don’t have a detailed tutorial on this (and don’t have time at the moment to write one). However, this blog post I wrote a while back has the key information you need: http://www.cevinius.com/2016/08/17/serial-communication-with-the-bluno-using-bluetooth-le/

If you look at the example code that the plugin comes with, and then use the Service and Characteristic that I mentioned, you should be able to get it to work.

Basically, that Service and Characteristic are the Bluno’s way of providing a “pass through” serial service. I.e. It is designed to work like a plain serial connection that you can send/receive any data over.

Hope that helps!

Kevin

Do you have any tutorial on how to connect and send data to and from bluno using this plugin similar to MobBob
