iphone wireless shutter release

Hi All,

Please, I have some questions about the use of iPhone wireless shutter release button:

Q1: Is it possible to connect to an iPhone wireless shutter release button device (see this link) using an nRF51822 chip ?

Q2: If so, how could I interact with a such device, should I use the HOGP profile in a Central role? and if it is the case, is there any example showing the use of the HOGP profile in a Central nRF51822 device?

Q3: Now, I am using my nRF51822 in a peripheral (Server) role to exchange data with a Smart Phone App, so my question is, is it possible to use it in both Central and Peripheral roles to be able to connect to the iPhone wireless shutter release button ? if so, what is the most suitable softdevice/SDK version to use and what is the best example to follow?

Thank you in advance. Best Regards.

  • Hi,

    Q1. Yes, it is possible.

    Q2. We don't have any example code for HOGP in central mode. You would have to do a database discovery for the HID descriptor, and parse the descriptor to find if it support volume up/down button. Typically volume up/down is used to take photos.

    Q3. Our BLE relay example in latest nRF5 SDK might be a good start: /ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay
