Examples

A simple example file showing how to send and receive data using the ESP32 Bluetooth Serial Port Profile.

ESP_BT

The SPP legacy bluetooth mode must be enabled in the ESP32 config file to allow SSP to work. For details please see this forum topic.

For problems sending strings or missing data bytes, please see this forum topic.

Property reference

	Properties
	Device Name
Sets the Bluetooth device friendly name
	Receive Buffer
Configures the size of the receive buffer in bytes to store incoming data until we are ready to receive it.
	Data Receive Interrupt
	Verbose Debug
When enabled debug messages will be placed onto UART CH1 which is generally connected to via a Serial to USB IC to pipe messages back to the host PC.
	Simulation
	COM Port
Selects which port to communicate with, only lists ports which are currently available.
	Refresh COM Ports
When set to yes the COM port list is rescanned for newly connected or available ports. Note that refreshing the ports list may take a few seconds depending on the number of connected ports.
	Baud
Baud rate passed to the COM port to control the rate of data.
