In order to realize a project of connected objects. I need to implement a Bluetooth connection between the various devices.
Here, the goal is to create an application in React Native and then send data from this application to my Raspberry. This Raspberry has a connected HC-08 module that takes care of Bluetooth munication.
Now, I would like to use react-native-ble-plx library to send data through Bluetooth. I'm able to connect my Android to the module. But I don't understand how to send data ...
Here's my code :
constructor() {
super()
this.manager = new BleManager()
}
ponentWillMount() {
console.log("mounted")
const subscription = this.manager.onStateChange((state) => {
if (state === 'PoweredOn') {
this.scanAndConnect();
subscription.remove();
}
}, true);
}
scanAndConnect() {
this.manager.startDeviceScan(null, null, (error, device) => {
if (error) {
// Handle error (scanning will be stopped automatically)
return
}
console.log(device.name)
// Check if it is a device you are looking for based on advertisement data
// or other criteria.
if (device.name === 'SH-HC-08') {
// Stop scanning as it's not necessary if you are scanning for one device.
this.manager.stopDeviceScan();
console.log(`Found ${device.name}`)
this.setState({
device: device
})
// Proceed with connection.
device.connect()
.then((device) => {
console.log(device)
return device.discoverAllServicesAndCharacteristics()
})
.then((device) => {
console.log(device)
})
.then((result) => {
// Do work on device with services and characteristics
//console.log(this.manager.characteristicsForService("00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"))
console.log(result)
console.log("connected")
})
.catch((error) => {
// Handle errors
console.log(error)
});
}
});
}
send() {
this.manager.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForDevice("58:7A:62:4F:EF:6D",
this.device.serviceUUIDs[0],
this.manager.characteristicsForDevice(this.device.id),
"ok")
.catch((error) => {
console.log('error in writing data');
console.log(error);
})
}
I would like to have a send method that will send data whenever I want to. But I don't really understand how it works :/
Could someone help me or even give me an example ? I would be really appreciated.
Best regards.

Reset to default 4I had success implementing the following:
scanAndConnect() {
this.manager.startDeviceScan(null, null, (error, device) => {
this.info("Scanning...");
console.log(device);
if (error) {
this.error(error.message);
return
}
if (device.name ==='MyDevice') {
this.info("Connecting to Tappy");
this.manager.stopDeviceScan();
device.connect()
.then((device) => {
this.info("Discovering services and characteristics");
return device.discoverAllServicesAndCharacteristics()
})
.then((device) => {
this.info(device.id);
device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService('12ab', '34cd', 'aGVsbG8gbWlzcyB0YXBweQ==')
.then((characteristic) => {
this.info(characteristic.value);
return
})
})
.catch((error) => {
this.error(error.message)
})
}
});
Where I use 12ab, insert the UUID of your BLE service. Similarly, where I use 34cd, insert the UUID of your BLE characteristic. Lastly, include a base64 encoding of whatever message you're trying to send where I have aGVsbG8gbWlzcyB0YXBweQ==.
Hope this helps.
