Using Sparkfun BLE Radio for transmitting data

[sleebapaul]

Subject of the issue

I looked hard on finding a library that enables BLE communication with Sparkfun Edge. I found some Arduino libraries like BLEPeripheral but none of them did the job. Couldn't find any official reference for the topic either. Can somebody shed some light on this issue?

Workbench

• Platform: Sparkfun Edge connected to MacBook Pro 2018.
• Device is powered using standard USB thorough SparkFun Serial Basic Breakout.
• I've run a micro speech example on the board and it worked well.

Configuration

Error while compiling with BLEPeripheral library.

It is so unfortunate to see the cold response from the company that built this board. A lot of enthusiasts like me, buy a SparkFun board, thinking there will be support from the community. I'm terribly mistaken. I could've bought Arduino Nano BLE 33 and life would've been easy. Never again. Bye, SparkFun.
