ubluetooth - FLAG_WRITE (without response) ?

Post by prem111 » Thu Feb 27, 2020 9:47 pm

Hi, im have problem in ubluetooth module.

Standard in the characteristics to write is: FLAG_WRITE (default with reposnse) how to call with without reponse?

Or maybe you know another library that handles it?

Best Regards.

Code: Select all

_WRITE_RESPONSE = const(1)
ble.gattc_write(conn_handle, value_handle, data, _WRITE_RESPONSE)
See http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/l ... attc_write for more info

What are other recommendable ble library?

Or maybe you can solve this problem using ubluetooth?

Can you clarify what you mean by writing from a gatt server? Maybe can you link to how this is implemented in another BLE library on another platform and I can see how to map that to ubluetooth?

My understanding is that a gatt server notifies or indicates the client when it wants the client to see the new value. The writes are purely local (waiting for the client to read them).

e.g: write_no_response

My understanding is that CircuitPython uses the same Characteristic class for both client-side and server-side characteristics.

But note that the thing you linked to is a property "bool write_no_response". And it says " Clients may write this characteristic; no response will be sent back". My understanding is that only clients can issue a write_no_response operation.

So perhaps I misunderstood your question though -- do you want to create a characteristic on a client that tells the server that it's allowed to do a write_no_response? In which case, in addition to bluetooth.FLAG_WRITE, you can define your own

Code: Select all

_FLAG_WRITE_NO_RESPONSE = const(0x04)
and use that when defining the characteristic.
