Bluetooth Console

Bluetooth Console allows you to explore nearby Bluetooth LE devices without having to do the pairing. After the initial scan for available devices, you can click on any one device and attempt to connect and read all the available services and characteristics. Once the connection is established, you can click on a characteristic and subscribe to any value changes. If subscription was successful, you will be shown a build-in serial console allowing you to send commands and receive responses.

The application includes the following main capabilities:

1. Scan for nearby devices and identify device names, unique device address, and received signal strength index (RSSI).

2. Scan for device services and capabilities.

3. Identify all the characteristics (values) within each service.

4. Retrieve characteristic descriptors.

5. Subscribe to notification changes for any characteristic.

6. Monitor the characteristic value changes in a serial console.

7. Send commands to the remote Bluetooth device using the same serial console

8. Specify the format of the outgoing data:

a) regular string value

b) hexadecimal string (8-bit)

9. Control how incoming data is being formatted:

a) string value (optionally null terminated)

b) integer value (big/little endian)

c) float value (big/little endian)

d) byte array

e) binary string
