Btle treadmill

[Gaucho]

We are treadmill developers and we want­ to include bluetooth capability to our ­products. We found, on the bluetooth website the ­RSC characteristic ( Running Speed and C­adence) that will allow us to send speed­ and cumulative distance, according to t­he standard. We can not find how to send out the inc­lination of the treadmill. Do you know if there is a standard for ­this or if we can follow some manufactur­er protocol? We suppose to use Nordic bluetooth boar­d for arduino to start the development. Thank you for your support.­ Regards­ Emanuele­

To my knowledge, there is no BLE profile that includes the inclination of a treadmill.

What I would recommend you to do is to create a custom profile one of the following ways:

• Create a profile containing two services: the Bluetooth SIG defined RCS and a proprietary service for the treadmill inclination.

• Create a new RSC service with a proprietary UUID. Inside the "new" RSC service you have the Bluetooth SIG defined RSC content plus a new "incline treadmill" characteristic.

For how to create services with proprietary UUID, I would recommend you to take a look at the ble_app_uart example in the SDK.

I heard that there is a bluetooth LE service still not public in the Bluetooth SIG, under the "sport and Fitness" group. This new protocol, will be pubiched at the end of the year and it should include also the inclination of the treadmill. The problem is that I am not a member of the Bluetooth SIG and then I am not able to see the protocol implementation.
