BLE client gets stuck while calling BLEClient::connect()

[TSOgang]

First of all, hello and thank you for your libraries and excuse me for this probably very simple question.

Very recently I have begun learning BLE and the esp32 and my goal for the moment is to successully establish a BLE connection between an esp32 (as client) and the nRF52 (as server). I believe the nRF52 works, since I can connect to it using my phone and control the value of characteristics in it. However, I can't get the esp32 to connect to it successully. It is able to scan and detect nearby devices and find the nRF52's adress no problem, but when a connection attempt is made using the connect() function, the program seems to wait indefinitely and no connection is ever established. While I have done some research on semaphores, I am still quite unfamilliar with them.

I wish to understand where it gets stuck in the connect() fuction, why it does that and how can I make it work.
Here is my code (I am using the Arduino framework in PlatformIO):

#include <Arduino.h>

#include "BLEDevice.h"


static BLEUUID serviceUUID("6e400001-b5a3-f393-e0a9-e50e24dcca9e");
static BLEUUID characteristicUUID("0000004f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb");
String My_BLE_Address = "d1:c7:bd:79:c4:05";

static BLERemoteCharacteristic* pRemoteCharacteristic;
BLEScan* pBLEScan;
BLEScanResults foundDevices;
static BLEAddress *Server_BLE_Address;
String Scanned_BLE_Address;

boolean paired = false;      // Flag verifying if we are paired with our device
boolean foundDevice = false; // Flag verifying if we found our device

bool connectToserver (BLEAddress pAddress){
    
    BLEClient*  pClient  = BLEDevice::createClient();
    Serial.println(" - Created client");
     
     
    // Connect to the BLE Server.
    pClient->connect(pAddress); // Stuck here...
    Serial.println(" - Connected to server");

    // Obtain a reference to the service we are after in the remote BLE server.
    BLERemoteService* pRemoteService = pClient->getService(serviceUUID);
    if (pRemoteService != nullptr)
    {
      Serial.println(" - Found our service");
      return true;
    }
    else
    return false;

    // Obtain a reference to the characteristic in the service of the remote BLE server.
    pRemoteCharacteristic = pRemoteService->getCharacteristic(characteristicUUID);
    if (pRemoteCharacteristic != nullptr)
      Serial.println(" - Found our characteristic");

      return true;
}

class MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks: public BLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks 
{ 
    void onResult(BLEAdvertisedDevice advertisedDevice) {
      Serial.printf("Scan Result: %s \n", advertisedDevice.toString().c_str());
      if(foundDevice == false){   // Flag verifying if we found our device
      Server_BLE_Address = new BLEAddress(advertisedDevice.getAddress()); // Update Server_BLE_Address if we didn't
      Scanned_BLE_Address = Server_BLE_Address->toString().c_str();
      }
      if(Scanned_BLE_Address == My_BLE_Address) // Compares the scanned adress to what we are looking for
      {
        foundDevice = true; // Found our device
      }
      Serial.println("Comparing to our server adress: ");
      Serial.println(My_BLE_Address);
    }
};

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200); //Start serial monitor 
    Serial.println("ESP32 BLE Client program"); //Intro message 

    BLEDevice::init("ESP32");
    pBLEScan = BLEDevice::getScan(); //create new scan
    pBLEScan->setAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks(new MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks()); //Call the class that is defined above 
    pBLEScan->setActiveScan(false); //active scan uses more power, but get results faster
}

void loop() {

  foundDevices = pBLEScan->start(3); //Scan for 3 seconds to find the server
  uint8_t devicesCount = foundDevices.getCount(); 
  Serial.printf("%d devices found \n", devicesCount);
  while (devicesCount >= 1 && foundDevice == true) // We found our server
  {
    if (foundDevice == true && paired == false) // We're not connected yet
    {
      Serial.println("Found our Device... connecting to Server as client \n");
       if (connectToserver(*Server_BLE_Address)) // Attempt a connection to the server   ...Stuck here...
      {
      paired = true;
      Serial.println("********************CONNECTED TO SERVER************************");
     
      break;
      }
      else
      {
      Serial.println("Pairing failed");
      foundDevice = false;
      break;
      }
    }
    devicesCount = 0; // Reset the number of devices
  }
  pBLEScan->stop();
  delay(5000);
}

And here is what the serial monitor looks like:

Do you think you can help me?
Thanks in advance.

[rmnaderdev]

Same issue here. I noticed that after a reset on the client this happens, after resetting once or twice again it reconnects.

[chegewara]

It can be few reasons, but if i would have to guess its because in arduino version there is still few bugs. My advice is to use this library instead, or to find someone who will update arduino version.

[Greenstreem]

I am having the same issue.

[TSOgang]

Please excuse for my silence, I have stopped working on the esp-32 (a little bit out of frustration) to concentrate on the other chip im working on. This morning I wanted to try again from the beginning and simply copy pasted the client example in the "ESP32 BLE Arduino" library (that I have tried before without success) and changed up the Uuids to match my other chip's Uuids.

I gave it a go and it...connected successfully without trouble...
My best guess would be that my problem was on the server side, and since I worked on it, I must have corrected the problem without realising it.
I am still unsure as to why my program got stuck in the connect() function (and I see im not the only one), so I won't close this issue just yet.

If there is one thing I know it's that the problem dosen't seem to come from the libraries (since it worked), but I can't know for sure.

[majstor12]

Hi!
I'm also using Arduino to program ESP32. This issue is very frustrating. I don't have solution for this problem, but I have noticed that it occurs when there are lot of scanned devices.
It looks that code stucks on that line:
BLERemoteService* pRemoteService = pClient->getService(serviceUUID);
in Client example.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[chegewara]

@majstor12 yes, use this repository instead of arduino library. In arduino library is some bug that has been fixed here long time ago (few other bugs too).

[arsab]

Do we expect to have these changes/improvements propagated to arduino library and how?
we see following update having made significant changes, but could not find which issues it is fixing:

[YeonwooSung]

@chegewara Might be a silly question, how can I use this repository instead of arduino library? Can you please teach me how to do that?

[chegewara]

[YeonwooSung]

@chegewara Thanks :)

[EngineeringStar]

Hi, I have got the same problem
// -------------------------------
pClient->connect(pAddress); // Stuck here...
//--------------------------------
I solved this problem by modifying the FreeRTOS.cpp file.
You can see this command in line 77 of FreeRTOS.cpp
xSemaphoreTake(m_semaphore, portMAX_DELAY);
As the portMAX_DELAY value is 0xffffffffUL, maybe the code will wait for about 50 days to connect to the BLE device.
So that, I changed the code like this and my code didn't get stuck anymore.
xSemaphoreTake(m_semaphore, 60000);

Thanks.

[thomastech]

So that, I changed the code like this and my code didn't get stuck anymore.
xSemaphoreTake(m_semaphore, 60000);

Thanks for sharing your hang workaround. Instead of 60000 I'm using 15000; The smaller value works well for me (shorter "hang" times).

• Thomas

[EngineeringStar]

Thanks for your notice, Thomas.

[thomastech]

@jiangminghe During validation I found another xSemaphoreTake() that caused an endless hang in my client application. This required another workaround patch at line 198: I changed the timeout to 15 seconds, as follows:
rc = ::xSemaphoreTake(m_semaphore, 15000UL) == pdTRUE;

I recognize that these edits are workarounds, not permanent patches. But I will use them until the semaphore issues are resolved.

• Thomas

[chegewara]

Patch that is fixing semaphores issue has been added to arduino-esp32 repository some time ago.
Because code in BLEClient is just a bit different the same patch didnt work here, or maybe i was not lucky.

[thomastech]

I'm using the latest arduino-esp32 repository (last patch was from about 30 days ago). If there are more recent semaphore fixes then I would definitely want to try them out.

• Thomas

[chegewara]

Sorry, it was the latest one, in this case there is somewhere else semaphore that causing stuck.

[Prathik-Jain]

I tried replacing the libraries as suggested by @chegewara , I see no change. The program still gets stuck.

[ufanders]

Hi, I am having this issue as well:

`bool connectToServer() {

BLEClient*  pClient  = BLEDevice::createClient();
pClient->setClientCallbacks(new MyClientCallback());

// Connect to the remote BLE Server.
Serial.printf("Connecting to %s.\n", serverAddress);
//Serial.println(myDevice->getAddress().toString().c_str());
pClient->connect(BLEAddress(serverAddress)); //myDevice);  // if you pass BLEAdvertisedDevice instead of address, it will be recognized type of peer device address (public or private)

//**** MANY TIMES, DOES NOT EXECUTE CODE BELOW ****//

// Obtain a reference to the service we are after in the remote BLE server.
pRemoteService = pClient->getService(serviceUUID);
if (pRemoteService == NULL) {
  Serial.println("Service not found.");
  M5.Lcd.println("Service not found.");
  M5.update();
  pClient->disconnect();
  return false;
}
Serial.println("Service found.");
M5.Lcd.println("Service found.");
M5.update();

}`

Any new updates, @chegewara?

[chegewara]

It is possible that calling this line:
pClient->connect(BLEAddress(serverAddress)); //myDevice);
not necessarily ends with connecting to peer device. I would suggest to add additional check after this line:

if(!pClient->isConnected())
    return false;

Also changing semaphore to timed semaphore as many times was suggested is good idea.

[ufanders]

Ok thanks I'll try the timed semaphore fix.

[BojanJurca]

You can not connect while scanning. Stop scanning first.

[ravsten]

While reading #757 I have found that connect call can actually take two arguments - BLEAddress as the first one and esp_ble_addr_type_t type as a second (optional) argument that defaults to BLE_ADDR_TYPE_PUBLIC.
However, as mentioned, "most if not all smartphones, tablets and laptops are using random addressing" and esp_ble_addr_type_t type has to be set to BLE_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM (#757 (comment)).
Worked for me!

[chegewara]

@ravsten There is overloaded connect function, which will figure out address type, but you need to pass advertised device instead of address.

[ravsten]

@ravsten There is overloaded connect function, which will figure out address type, but you need to pass advertised device instead of address.

To avoid misleading anyone I want to mention that I am using an Arduino built-in BLE ESP32 library so I guess that is why I pass BLEAddress instead of BLEDevice. Correct @chegewara?

[chegewara]

[vcmorini]

Ok thanks I'll try the timed semaphore fix.

Hello, could you share with us how to do it? :)

[xsaco07]

Hi I'm having the same issue here. I'm trying to connect 2 ESP32, one as a Client and the other one as a Server.
The Client is stuck in connect(myAdvDevice) line. Is there any update here?
The semaphores fix is the only option?

I'm using the Arduino library.
Thanks.

[xsaco07]

I edited the FreeRTOS.cpp file, changing the xSemaphoreTake() parameter to 15000UL as mentioned in the comments and I'm not getting the result expected yet. It is still getting stuck on the connect(myAdvDecice) function call.

[thomastech]

Check the file again and confirm you have changed ALL the occurrences of xSemaphoreTake() that used the portMAX_DELAY to 15000UL. If you've already done that then I doubt your issue is due to the semaphore timeout hang issue.

[Huntercover]

Hello, I am facing the same stuck whenever trying to connect to the fourth server. Is there any chance to connect to more than 3 servers?
btw: I will try to use 2 ESP32 to connect to 6 BLE servers, hopefully that will work for me.
Regards Andreas

[LK-Simon]

Do not attempt to Connect to a BLE Server before the call to BLEScan->start(...); returns!

You need to initiate the scan, on your onResult Callback method, you need to determine if it is the device in which you are interested. If it is, you need to store a reference to the BLEAdvertisedDevice

Once the scan call returns (as stated in the first line of this response) you can then connect to this BLEAdvertisedDevice and it will work.

[MertGurdogann]

Hi There, i have same problem in connecting to peripheral. It's always stuck on connect command line. I also have already try Mr. Andreas Polar Receiver example but that has same stuck too. I use ESP32 pico kit.

Here's my demo code. Does anyone have a solution for this issue? I will be grateful if you could help me.

#include` "BLEDevice.h"
// The remote service we wish to connect to.
static  BLEUUID serviceUUID(BLEUUID((uint16_t)0x180D));
// The characteristic of the remote service we are interested in.
static BLEUUID    charUUID(BLEUUID((uint16_t)0x2A37));
static BLEAddress *pServerAddress;
static BLEScan* pBLEScan;
static BLEClient*  pClient;

class MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks: public BLEAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks
{
    void onResult(BLEAdvertisedDevice advertisedDevice)
    {
      Serial.print("BLE Advertised Device found: ");
      Serial.println(advertisedDevice.toString().c_str());
      pServerAddress = new BLEAddress(advertisedDevice.getAddress());

      if (advertisedDevice.haveServiceUUID() && advertisedDevice.getServiceUUID().equals(serviceUUID))
      {
        Serial.println("=============== Device found! =============== ");
        Serial.print("Name: ");
        Serial.print(advertisedDevice.getName().c_str());
        Serial.print("\tAddress: ");
        Serial.println(pServerAddress->toString().c_str());
        advertisedDevice.getScan()->stop();
        //       pClient->connect(*pServerAddress);   I try those method but i couldn't succsessful on connect 
        pClient->connect(&advertisedDevice);
        Serial.println(" - Connected to server");
      }

      /******** This releases the memory when we're done. ********/
      delete pServerAddress;
    }
}; // MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Starting Arduino BLE Client application...");
  BLEDevice::init("");
  pClient  = BLEDevice::createClient();
  Serial.println(" - Created client");
  pBLEScan = BLEDevice::getScan();
  pBLEScan->setAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks(new MyAdvertisedDeviceCallbacks());
  pBLEScan->setActiveScan(true);
  pBLEScan->start(30);
}
void loop()
{
  if (pClient->isConnected()) Serial.println("connect");
  else Serial.println("non connect");
  while (1);
}

And Here's my output from Serial monitor.

[chegewara]

There is second parameter in connect function:
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/BLE/src/BLEClient.h#L37
for that reason there is another connect function, which should automatically detect address type:
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/BLE/src/BLEClient.h#L36

[AndreasHobby]

@chegewara: and this solves the stuck?

In the meanwhile and as a workaround I am using the other CORE for any BLE connect tasks.

[chegewara]

Im not sure it will solve, but it was the reason in many other cases. Thats why i had to write that second connect function.

[LK-Simon]

If anyone wants a confirmed-working example of BLE connections for the ESP32 boards... I have a repository as part of my Automatic Discovery & Pairing articles. https://github.com/Flowduino/ESP32_ESP-Now_Pairing
It's only really intended to facilitate Automated Discovery (I'm using BLE for Discovery, then ESP-Now for actual communication) but this code is functioning just fine.

You might be able to figure out what you need to change in your own respective codebases from my code in that repository.

Enjoy!

[MertGurdogann]

@LK-Simon Thank you I solved the stuck problem and made an example about it. Those who have problems with Connect can try this example.

[chegewara]

From the code i am guesing that another connect() function helped.

[JoFRT]

Hello,
Many thanks to your contribution in this thread, I understood 2 important things for my sketch.
(So now my sketches will be not stuck anymore and I understood that my 2nd device as a random address configuration).
So now I can get a connection with my 2nd device too. But I cannot connect to a service : the ESP32 reboots because of this error :
>> Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (Double exception).
With my 1st device (static address configuration) everything is perfect : I can read and write characteristics.
So by comparison I saw that with my 2nd device I have those 2 lines in addition just before the reset :

>> [ 11002][D][BLEClient.cpp:493] handleGAPEvent(): BLEClient ... handling GAP event!
>> custom gap event handler, event: 20

I am wandering why this 2nd exception(gap event) occurs !
Below I give you the log (Log with Debug config only because I do not have the Verbose’s in my arduino v1.8.15, and I do not know to add it  ).
After that I give you also the backtrace details.
Could you please help me with this issue ?

Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (Double exception).

This is very nasty error, because its more or less telling that you have error in code somewhere (maybe in library) and this error itself is causing to generate logs or something which is causing another error.
Usually (or maybe always) it means very bad memory corruption bug.

custom gap event handler, event: 20
This is UPDATE_CONN_PARAMS event.

I dont know your code and purpose of it, but is it possible that 2 devices you are trying to connect to have 2 completely different set of services and characteristics?
Did you try to connect to each device separately?

[JoFRT]

Hello Chegewara,
Thanks for replying.
In fact I use exactly the same sketch for only 1 device connection. I change the UUID service, UUID characteristic and the device address in the sketch depending of the device I want to connect with.
Both device are totally different.

[chegewara]

Then maybe you are trying to read/write characteristic that does not exist on 2nd device, or you do some other stuff that break it, assign new characteristic to pointer. Just test 1 step at a time:

• test with 1st device only,
• test with 2nd device only,
• test with 2 device, but dont try to connect both at the same time, i mean turn on 2nd device when 1st is already connected
• add as many logs as you can in your own code

[JoFRT]

My sketch manages only 1 device. But if you want I can adapt it to manage 2.
During adding more log I saw that some old libraries are called in arduino15 directory. I did not succeed to solve this problem yet because of headers depencies. I will continue tomorrow and let you know then.

[chegewara]

No, i dont want you to change your code. I just thought it is how you doing it now.

[JoFRT]

After a lot of trial my sketch works only with "https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32", with the "snippets" I have to many error on delcarations.
I finally found how to get the Verbose details so I share it below with the associated backtrace; Hoping that means something for you.
I have also found a sketch more complex but with a similar device "https://github.com/max22-/ESP32-BLE-MIDI/blob/master/examples/02-Basic-Midi-Client/02-Basic-Midi-Client.ino". Unfortunately I have the same issue.

After that I give you for the 1st device (without any problem).

2nd device:

[chegewara]

Is it possible that MIDI device has more than 1 service with UUID:
03b80e5a-ede8-4b33-a751-6ce34ec4c700

If you have more esp32, could you try this code to emulate your device and see if your current code still crash:
#510

I will try to find some time to do the same, but it would be good to have your code to perform test or at least the part that is performing connection to device.

[JoFRT]

Yes it is not the only services : here are the others :

      if (pClient == nullptr) {
        Serial.println("pClient == nullptr");
        delay(100);
// you should return false here, but actually this code makes no sense because earlier you have pClient->connect() which will crash
      }

Instead try to add short delay and check pClient->isConnected();

I also advice to use this connect function (there is nothing wrong with your way to do it):
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/BLE/src/BLEClient.h#L36

If you are not working with arduino it is still possible to use library from it (copy/paste).

The code crash exactly here:

    // Obtain a reference to the service we are after in the remote BLE server.
      Serial.print("Try to connect to our service UUID: ");  Serial.println(serviceUUID.toString().c_str());
    BLERemoteService* pRemoteService = pClient->getService(serviceUUID);
    if (pRemoteService == nullptr) {
      Serial.print("Failed to find our service UUID: ");
      Serial.println(serviceUUID.toString().c_str());
      return false;
    }
    Serial.println(" - Found our service");

and i am suspecting that device you are connecting with is disconnecting for some reason before this code is called.

I would start with comment out this code and see whats going on:

    // Obtain a reference to the service we are after in the remote BLE server.
      Serial.print("Try to connect to our service UUID: ");  Serial.println(serviceUUID.toString().c_str());
    BLERemoteService* pRemoteService = pClient->getService(serviceUUID);
    if (pRemoteService == nullptr) {
      Serial.print("Failed to find our service UUID: ");
      Serial.println(serviceUUID.toString().c_str());
      return false;
    }
    Serial.println(" - Found our service");


    // Obtain a reference to the characteristic in the service of the remote BLE server.
    pRemoteCharacteristic = pRemoteService->getCharacteristic(charUUID);
    if (pRemoteCharacteristic == nullptr) {
      Serial.print("Failed to find our characteristic UUID: ");
      Serial.println(charUUID.toString().c_str());
      return false;
    }
    Serial.println(" - Found our characteristic");

    // Read the value of the characteristic.
    std::string value = pRemoteCharacteristic->readValue();
    Serial.print("The characteristic value was: ");
    Serial.println(value.c_str());

    pRemoteCharacteristic->registerForNotify(notifyCallback);

I have just one thing to say: many many many and many thanks to you Chegewara 👍 .
Finally the sketch works perfectly after the addition of one delay.
But let's start by the beginning...
-> I have done the changes you suggested, and then I can see that the led of the device informing of bluetooth connection switched on a few seconds later.
-> So in my second trial I have enlarged the the delay you precognized to 10s (to be sure but 2-3s is enough).
-> Then the miracle appears in front of me: the connection passed!
-> I have tried then to modify a characteristic and it works perfectly.
I am wandering if the is a way to monitor when the device will be ready to accept the server connection. But for it is ok like that for me!.
So many thanks to you and also for the others for repling on issues for this 874 item and for the other items.
