Includes all the latest NimBLE stack changes from idf-v4.0 with few idf-v3.3 specific modifications. - Addition of nimble component as submodule (`nimble-1.1.0-idf-v3.3`), contains IDF v3.3 specific minor changes. - Example applications are identical to idf-v4.0 - Modification in `bt/Kconfig` to accommodate NimBLE as a BT host.

BLE Heart Rate Measurement example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example creates GATT server demonstrating standard Heart Rate measurement service. It simulates Hear rate measurement and notifies to client when the notifications are enabled.
It uses ESP32's Bluetooth controller and NimBLE stack based BLE host
This example aims at understanding notification subscriptions and sending notifications.
To test this demo, any BLE scanner app can be used.
A Python based utility blehr_test.py is also provided (which will run as a BLE GATT Client) and can be used to test this example.
Note :
- Make sure to run
python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt -r $IDF_PATH/tools/ble/requirements.txtto install the dependency packages needed. - Currently this Python utility is only supported on Linux (BLE communication is via BLuez + DBus).
How to use example
Configure the project
idf.py menuconfig
- Set serial port under Serial Flasher Options.
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
Example Output
This console output can be observed when blehr is connected to client and client enables notifications:
