BLE Console

[grjackie]

I am new to this app and am trying to figure out all commands but still getting errors I don't understand.
Can you give me some examples of how to write to my device?
Example: how would I write a Bluetooth name?
Write %name ?

[grjackie]

Please specify characteristic name or # for writing.
What am I forgetting?

Hmm, you're really confused me 😒; I've assumed so far that BLEConsole commands/UI are pretty clear (btw, nobody asked that question before).

You can use BT name or # provided by list command. For example, run BLEConsole, type ls and it should list available BT devices, like

BLE: ls
#00: F2
#01: TOZO-S2

Than use command open #1 or open TOZO-S2 (you can also use partial name, like TOZ if no more BLE devices with tat name exist), you'll get an output like

BLE: open #1
Connecting to TOZO-S2.
Found 3 services:
#00: GenericAccess
#01: GenericAttribute
#02: 2800

Now you can set active service and list characteristics, by issuing command set #0

BLE: set #0
Selected service GenericAccess.
#00: DeviceName RW
#01: Appearance R
#02: PeripheralPreferredConnectionParameters    R
#03: 10918      R

Now you can read characteristic by # or name, like read #0

BLE: read #0
TOZO-S2

If you already knew your service name/#, you can avoid previous step and read characteristic after successful connection to BLE device, like read #1/#0

I will try that.
