Adding a New BLE Message

ble_commands.h

  1. In the names namespace, assign a name to the character you want to use.

  2. In the commands array, add your new message and specify the number of variables the system should expect to receive or transmit.

  3. If your message is sent by the Exo, you’re done.

  4. If your message is received by the Exo, navigate to the handlers namespace and implement the function that should run when your message is received.

    The function must be declared like so:

    inline static void my_new_function(ExoData* data, BleMessage* msg)

ComsMCU.cpp

  1. If your message is received by the Exo, open the switch statement in the function:

    ComsMCU::_process_complete_gui_command(BleMessage* msg)

  2. Add a new case for your message, using the variable you created in the names namespace. The case should call the corresponding function in the handlers namespace.

Done

  • If your command is sent by the Exo, the parser recognizes and packages your data automatically.

  • If your command is received, the parser packages your data and calls the function defined in the handlers namespace.
