Ble Peripheral Rust
BlePeripheralRust is a cross-platform Rust crate that allows your device to function as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripheral, enables you to define BLE services, characteristics, and handle BLE events asynchronously.
Getting Started
Check out the examples folder for detailed usage, or start by running:
cargo run --example server
Usage
Initialize the Peripheral
To initialize the peripheral, create a channel to handle events, instantiate the peripheral, and wait until the BLE device is powered on:
let (sender_tx, mut receiver_rx) = channel::<PeripheralEvent>(256);
let mut peripheral = Peripheral::new(sender_tx).await.unwrap();
// Ensure the peripheral is powered on
while !peripheral.is_powered().await.unwrap() {}
Add Services
Define and add a BLE service, including characteristics, descriptors with specified properties and permissions:
peripheral.add_service(
&Service {
uuid: Uuid::from_short(0x1234_u16),
primary: true,
characteristics: vec![
Characteristic {
uuid: Uuid::from_short(0x2A3D_u16),
..Default::default()
}
],
}
).await;
Start Advertising
Begin advertising the BLE peripheral to make it discoverable by other devices:
peripheral.start_advertising("RustBLE", &[Uuid::from_short(0x1234_u16)]).await;
Handle Events
Manage BLE events such as characteristic subscription updates, read requests, and write requests in an asynchronous loop:
while let Some(event) = receiver_rx.recv().await {
match event {
PeripheralEvent::CharacteristicSubscriptionUpdate { request, subscribed } => {
// Send notifications to subscribed clients
}
PeripheralEvent::ReadRequest { request, offset, responder } => {
// Respond to Read request
responder.send(ReadRequestResponse {
value: String::from("Hello").into(),
response: RequestResponse::Success,
});
}
PeripheralEvent::WriteRequest { request, offset, value, responder } => {
// Respond to Write request
responder.send(WriteRequestResponse {
response: RequestResponse::Success,
});
},
- => {}
}
}
Update Characteristics
Send characteristic updates to all clients listening to the characteristic:
peripheral.update_characteristic(Uuid::from_short(0x2A3D_u16), "Ping!".into()).await;
Notes
This crate is inspired by bluster. Contributions, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome!
