概要

M5Stack UIFlow (最新版は 1.7.2) で BLE が使えるようになっていますが、Blockly で用意されているのは Peripheral 側のみ。それでも MicroPython としては Central 側の実装も可能なので、手持ちの M5Stack Fire と Core2 で BLE UART による簡単な相互連携を行ってみました。

M5Stack Fire 側は Peripheral として Blockly で実装
M5Stack Core2 側は Central として MicroPython で実装
Central 側の実装はほとんど MicroPython 公式のサンプルコード ble_simple_central.py の流用です。
ボタン押下で相手に文字を送信し、受信した文字を表示

今回、最初は Peripheral 側を Arduino で実装したもので試していたため、Arduino と MicroPython の BLE 実装の違いでいくつか悩まされた点がありました。

Arduino が Peripheral の場合は Notify を Enable してやる必要がある
MicroPython の BLE では何もしなくても Notify が送信されてくる
現在の UIFlow(v1.7.2) の MicroPython は 1.12 で BLE の scan で Active Scan が行えない
Passive Scan の場合、アドバタイズパケットに名前が含まれない場合は名前指定ので接続ができない
Active Scan を行えれば、その応答の Scan Response に名前が含まれている
MicroPython は 1.13 から Active Scan をサポート
ESP32 BLE Arduino の場合、デフォルトでは名前が含まれず setScanResponse(false) を呼び出すことで含まれた
NimBLE-Arduino の場合、余裕があれば名前がアドバタイズパケットに含まれる

環境

M5Stack Fire (UIFlow 1.7.2)
M5Stack Core2 (UIFlow 1.7.2)

実行結果

#M5stack Fire と Core2 を UIFlow のBLEで相互連携。
Fire側がPeripheralでこちらはBLE UARTのBlockyだけで作ったけど Core2側はCentralでMicroPythonでゴリゴリ。と言っても https://t.co/Fol3IxML7k をベースにちょっと直しただけですが。 pic.twitter.com/NDkb6zDt6U

プログラム

Peripheral 側 UIFlow の Blockly で作成したプログラム

生成された MicroPython コード（M5Stack Fire用）

from m5stack import *
from m5ui import *
from uiflow import *
from ble import ble_uart

setScreenColor(0x222222)

label0 = M5TextBox(140, 85, "-", lcd.FONT_DejaVu72, 0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)

def on_recv():
  # global params
  label0.setText(str((uart_ble.read()).decode()))
  pass

def buttonA_wasPressed():
  # global params
  label0.setText('A')
  uart_ble.write('A')
  pass
btnA.wasPressed(buttonA_wasPressed)

def buttonB_wasPressed():
  # global params
  label0.setText('B')
  uart_ble.write('B')
  pass
btnB.wasPressed(buttonB_wasPressed)

def buttonC_wasPressed():
  # global params
  label0.setText('C')
  uart_ble.write('C')
  pass
btnC.wasPressed(buttonC_wasPressed)

uart_ble = ble_uart.init('BLE UART Demo')
uart_ble.irq(on_recv)

Central 側 MicroPython で作成したプログラム

MicroPython 公式のサンプルコード ble_simple_central.py からの変更点

接続対象を名前で指定可能
Active Scan に対応した時のために Scan Response に名前が含まれるケースに対応
Scan の時間を指定可能
切断時の Callback 指定を追加
調査用に Descriptor の出力を追加
Notify を Enable にする処理を追加
connect でアドレス指定で接続する場合にアドレスタイプが 0 (パブリック・デバイス・アドレス) の場合に接続できないバグ？の対応

# This example finds and connects to a peripheral running the
# UART service (e.g. ble_simple_peripheral.py).
