Vivoactive 5 BLE GATT connection

Chiara 1 month ago

Hi. I wanted to ask how can i start a BLE GATT connection in Monkey C. I'm working on a Vivoactive 5 smart watch.

Currently i just followed the example about the function registerProfile in the BluetoothLowEnergy section of the documentation.

Also, i wanted to ask if it's necessary to have a nordic hardware to test the bluetooth functionalities on the simulator.

I'm new with this language but also with coding in general. Thank you in advance!

Yes, you need the Nordic HW to test in the sim.

Have you looked at the nordic samples in the SDK?

Ok thank you for answering. I just found on the forum a sample about how to use the ble functions. I still dont have a Nordic HW

There are two samples in the sdk, and I did a blog post showing how to talk to a raspberry pi

I have a free app in the store called blescan where you can check what you can see with a Garmin device
