DLPNIRNANOEVM: Issue retrieving calibration data using BLE

Part Number: DLPNIRNANOEVM

Hi,

My issue is that I do not undersetand how to retrieve the data using the BLE characteristics. In request , the guide says that I must indicate intent to read without sending any data. I do not understand how to do it.

Thanks 

Brais

  • Hello Brais,

    Could you please clarify what part of the guide you are referring to?

    Thanks,
    Kyle
  • Hi,

    The part that i am talking about is the table J-5 in Section J: Bluetooth Communications

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    More exactly I am talking about GCIS table

    Thanks
    Brais
  • Hi Brais,

    This means that the characteristic contains a byte which is to be written by the external device, but the characteristic contains no data to read. This is made clear in the the table by indicating that Number of Bytes: 1, and only WRITE property is supported.

    Thanks & Regards,

  • Hi Hirak,

    I am capable to receive the reference data but not the spectrum data. I followed the same proccess but I cannot obtain the spectrum calibration data. It may be a bug into the firmware.

    Thanks

  • Hi Hirak,

    The most important issue is that when I write a 5 to manifest the intent to read, occurs a BLE error communication and I am not capable to read the correspondent characteristic.

    Thanks

  • Hi Hirak,

    The most important issue is that when I write a 5 to manifest the intent to read, occurs a BLE error communication and I am not notified by the correspondent characteristic.

    Thanks

  • Hi Brais,

    It sounds like you are having issues reading the multi-packet information returned from the GCIS service (UUID 0x53455204-444C- 5020-4E49- 52204E616E6F). Is that correct?

    Receiving the spectrum calibration coefficients requires the following steps:

    1. Subscribe to notifications for characteristic UUID 0x4348410E-444C- 5020-4E49- 52204E616E6F
    2. Write to the request characteristic for this data (UUID 0x4348410D-444C- 5020-4E49- 52204E616E6F)

    Here is a log from lightBlue when I executed the previous steps

    This data should be interpreted and repackaged as described in the NIRscan Nano User's Guide table J-9: Bluetooth Multiple Packet Structure. It should then be passed into the appropriate spectrum library function(s) for usage.

    Note that reading many of the calibration and scan data over BLE uses this same construct, with different notification and read-request UUIDs to subscribe and write to.

  • Hi Eric,

    No, I do not have any issue reading the information because I do this steps and no data is retrieved from the device. I write a 0x00 in the Request Spectrum Calibration Coefficients Characteristic from GCIS and no information is retrieved. Furthemore, it cause a BLE error communication between my android phone and the NIRSCAN NANO.

    Thanks

  • Hi Brais,

    Kindly give us some time, we'll get back to you soon. Your patience is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hirak.
  • Hi Brais,

    Do you still need the answer to your question? If not I'll be tentatively closing this thread. You can reopen anytime.

    Thanks & Regards,
