Hello,
firstly I would like to say that I tried searching the forum for a post that has similar problems to my own. But I haven't (please tell me if i'm wrong) seen any posts that has this issue.
I am currently using the BLE shield by RedBearLabs that uses the NORDIC nRF8001 Bluetooth Low Energy IC.
What I am trying to achieve is to make the apple product (whether iPhone or Ipad) to recognize my device as a bluetooth keyboard.
My aim is to be able to send some ascii code characters from the arduino to the iPhone/iPad.
I am currently using the examples provided on the nordic website, and running it in the arduino environment. The example is called : BLE_HID_KEYBOARD
The problem occurs when I attempt to pair the two devices.
firstly, my iPad/iPhone only sometimes detect the device. secondly, when pairing does occur, it disconnects a few moments later.
If I could get some assistance as to how I can rectify the issue, this would be great.
Another question I would like to add is how or where in the code I should be modifying in order to send the ascii code that I want.
Let's say i want to send a 'space' key every 5 seconds. How would i achieve this?
Sorry for the questions, I am new to BLE technology. I am somewhat familiar with C programming, and the arduino environment. Any help would be appreciated!
Don.
