CC2652RB: Custom app interface for custom BTE services?

Matt Gaidica1

Part Number: CC2652RB
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LPSTK-CC1352R

I'm probably going to create some custom services using the Bluetooth Developer Studio—this looks like the best way to ease into it (?). I am curious how, say, the TI Starter app loads the sensor view for Project Zero? Is that built separate from Project Zero or are those fields dynamically populated based on the Project Zero broadcast? I'm kind of thinking about LabVIEW, where there are prebuilt GUI elements for specific functions that the app might just recognize (green vs. red LED).

My bigger ask is advice on creating a user interface that might have some binary switches (or "LEDs") and a continuous data stream on a graph. Ideally, I could use Mac/iOS, but also have a Windows machine I can dedicate, I'm wondering if I need to get a PTS Dongle and just build this all in BDS?

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

On this forum you will find experts of the SimpleLink devices (CC13xx / CC26xx) but no actual experts of GUI / mobile application / BDS development. I recommend you to use forums dedicated to these kind of topics to get more valuable answers.

If it helps, here is a repo where we provide some code examples for GUI an mobile apps.

Let us know your results,

Best regards,

Thanks, Clement. I'm trying to set up my questions for specific answers. Is the view below custom made for a TI sensor tag and embedded in the app or could I make a custom service for say, battery voltage, and have it appear as a timeseries plot in the TI Starter app (just like ambient temperature is below)?

Hi,

This is defined by the app. If you use different services, these won't appear properly in the app. That being said you can modify the app to fit your needs.

Best regards,

Thanks Clement. I found where the services are handled in the SensorTag app. Is there a reference to the services I could 'hijack' that are available in the TI Starter app (the ones that appear in the sensor view)?

To be clear: project zero has an LED, button, and data service in /Profiles—are those all the services that the TI Starter App will recognize and setup a GUI for?

Hi,

If you use the LPSTK-CC1352R you will have a few more sensors available.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'use'. I don't see any project files in Resource Explorer for 'LPSTK-CC1352R'. If there is a project where all the services are listed in /Profiles that would appear in Sensor View, I think that would help. Thanks,

Hi,

Here is a lab to help you getting started with the LPSTK-CC1352R.

I am not aware of a project like this. You may want to verify in our repository if you find something that helps.

Developing something with Swift in Xcode for iOS has been relatively easy and enjoyable *complete control*. Thanks,
