Constructor problem with Bluetooth Smart

Archive
1

I have one of Justin’s BLE modules and am getting a strange error.

Error 1 ‘Gadgeteer.Modules.IngenuityMicro.BluetoothSmart’ does not contain a constructor that takes 1 arguments
I am using MF 4.3 and have tried this on a Cerbuino and a Spider. I have uninstalled the SDK and tried a different release.

The constructor wants two sockets. I have tried giving it another socket but it will not run.

Has anyone seen this?

This is what is currently available for download.

IngenuityMicro SDK v1.2.7 - Dec 21st
Fixes Socket 6 issue

IngenuityMicro SDK v1.2.6 - Nov 17th
Fixes Bluetooth Smart Spider issue

IngenuityMicro SDK v1.2.4 - Oct 25th

IngenuityMicro SDK v1.2.0 - Sep 10th

I don’t really know what I had installed originally but I tried the Dec 21 and Sep 10 versions.

That’s from last year. Justin is on vacation. I am sure he will update it as soon as he is back.

That’s pretty funny. Thanks.

Can you post some code and the exception detail?

@ TWIMC - I just added the a serial “COMx” look into the Cerberus schema to find out the port number belonging to what socket, don’t add it in the gadgeteer designer. I only added the handler and the rest and it works for me on a raptor and in VS2015. I could switch the relais off/on with my mobile phone using some standard app, I thought it is called BLEExplorer (on windows phone).

Hope it helps:

namespace blueRaptor
{
    public class Program
    {
        static OutputPort led = new OutputPort((Cpu.Pin)((3 * 32) + 3), false);
        static SerialPort ble = new SerialPort("COM6", 14400);
        static OutputPort relais = new OutputPort((Cpu.Pin)((0 * 32) + 9), false);

        public static void Main()
        {
            ble.DataReceived += ble_DataReceived;
            ble.Open();

            while (true == true)
            {
                led.Write(true);
                Thread.Sleep(250);
                led.Write(false);
                Thread.Sleep(250);
            }
        }

        static void ble_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
        {
            Debug.Print("Event fired...");

            var xSerialPort = sender as System.IO.Ports.SerialPort;

            byte[] tmpBytes = new byte[xSerialPort.BytesToRead];
            xSerialPort.Read(tmpBytes, 0, tmpBytes.Length);

            string cmd = new string(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(tmpBytes));

            Debug.Print(cmd);

            switch (cmd)
            {
                case "Relais=On": // Android = 0052656C6169733D4F6E
                    // Turn the relais on connected to socket 10 and pin 5
                    relais.Write(true);
                    break;
                case "Relais=Off": // Android = 0052656C6169733D4F6666
                    // Turn the relais off connected to socket 10 and pin 5
                    relais.Write(false);
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
            
        }

    }

@ Jason - I am setting up a MF 4.2 environment so I can use Justin’s SDK. The code running on my Win 8.1 tablet has connected with the Bluetooth module.

@ Architect - I set up a Cerbuino running MF 4.2 and everything works fine. Boy, do I feel foolish that I did not notice that Justin’s SDKs were a year old. Thank you Architect.
