Sensor Module Gateway : BLE Client + MQTT

Postby zam_ii » Thu Jan 18, 2018 2:13 pm

Hi,

I'm very amateur in programming. I only have basic knowledge in C/C++.
So very sorry if my question or programming is very in low level.

I'm developing a gateway for my sensor module (as ble server). I would like to
publish the sensor data to mqtt broker. So I'm using ESP32 that can use BT + WiFi.

Below is my programming. Based is from example of BLE_Client. And I modify
by myself (some took from this forum discussion).

My ESP32 able to connect and get data from the sensor module.
But I have a problem :

1) The result didn't change. Even my program I make it will go get new data
each second, the result is always same.
My program not going to get new value?

2) The result is in HEX (0xXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX).
Full result as above, will have 40 character (I don't know how to call). But the problem is,
the result will stop until "0". Example, if result is 0xF31462E15C18400E00000200000000001A0711F0,
it only appear until F314 62E15 C184.
Any way to get full result?

Please help....
