How to create 2 ble characteristics?

[guanciale]

On my esp32 I am trying to make 2 characteristics but from all the forums I find online regarding this topic none have an example code or really delve deep into how to structure the code.

Here is my current code (everything until loop)

Code: Select all

#include <BLEDevice.h>
#include <BLEServer.h>
#include <BLEUtils.h>
#include <BLE2902.h>

BLEServer* pServer = NULL;
BLECharacteristic* pCharacteristic = NULL;
bool deviceConnected = false;
bool oldDeviceConnected = false;
boolean oldState = LOW;
uint32_t value = 0;

#define SERVICE_UUID        "4fafc201-1fb5-459e-8fcc-c5c9c331914b"
#define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID "beb5483e-36e1-4688-b7f5-ea07361b26a8"

class MyServerCallbacks: public BLEServerCallbacks {
    void onConnect(BLEServer* pServer) {
      deviceConnected = true;
    };

    void onDisconnect(BLEServer* pServer) {
      deviceConnected = false;
    }
};

const int bt1 = 14;
boolean bt1g = true;
int bt1t = 0;


void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(15, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(33, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(27, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(bt1, INPUT_PULLUP);
  Serial.begin(9600);

  BLEDevice::init("ESP32");
  pServer = BLEDevice::createServer();
  pServer->setCallbacks(new MyServerCallbacks());
  BLEService *pService = pServer->createService(SERVICE_UUID);

  pCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                      CHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE  |
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
                    );

  pCharacteristic->addDescriptor(new BLE2902());

  pService->start();

  BLEAdvertising *pAdvertising = BLEDevice::getAdvertising();
  pAdvertising->addServiceUUID(SERVICE_UUID);
  pAdvertising->setScanResponse(false);
  pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x0);
  BLEDevice::startAdvertising();
  Serial.println("Waiting a client connection to notify...");
}

Now I'm unsure whether the steps to create the first characteristic are duplicated or if I need to encompass both creations of characteristics in the creation of the first characteristic. For example would I go something like

Code: Select all

 pCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                      CHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE  |
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
                    );

p2NDCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                      2NDCHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE  |
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
                    );

or something

Code: Select all

 pCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                      CHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE  |
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
                    
                      2NDCHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE  |
                      BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_NOTIFY
);

Any help is appreciated!
