I am currently developing my app with nRF52 DK and use the nRF52480 Dongle as a simulated sensor using the built-in server definition capabilities in nRF Connect for Desktop.
For example, my app would implement a CSCS client and the dongle is advertising such a service and the required characteristics. In order to test my code I will update measurement values in nRF Connect for Desktop (Windows 10).
In order to better test all this, it would be great if there was a possibility to feed a kind of measurement feed in the defined server. This could be either a basic scripting language or - in the simplest cases - a CSV or JSON file of raw values together with a setting when the next value should be sent (e.g. once a sec). This testing is especially helpful for time critical applications like in the sports sensors area in my opinion.
Regarding the scripting language I am thinking of a language where you could define something like:
def measurement {
length: 10
fields:
{
0: 0x03, fixed;
1,2,3,4: uint32_t, type: cumumlative, values: random(20,50)
5,6: uint16_t, type: cumulative, values: fixed(5)
...
update_interval: 1000ms
}
Something along that line, so for example every 1000s the measurement would create a new value starting with a fixed 0x03 byte, then 4 bytes with the cumulative sum of the previous val+random val between 20-50, etc. etc.
Do you think something like that could make it into a future release?
Or is there already a possibility for something like that and I failed to find that function?
