概要

元は M5Stack で現在時刻を取得する方法として NTP ではなく BLE で取得する方法を探していたところ Current Time Service というのがありました。とりあえず Pythonista で試し返ってくる時刻データの内容を確認するためのサンプルプログラムです。

これでできるなら M5Stack/M5StickC でも同様にできるだろう、と始めたのですが、１週間ほど格闘することになりました。結果的に取得はできたので、それについてはこちら。
iPhoneからBLEのCurrent Time Serviceで現在時刻を取得する（M5StickC編）

環境

Pythonista3 v3.2
iPhone 6 iOS 12.4.2 (BLE Server)
iPad mini 4 iOS 13.1.2 (BLE Client)

実行例

iPad上でPythonistaを実行し、iPhoneの時刻をBLE Current Time Serviceで取得
Pythonista実行時コンソール出力

Pythonista3プログラム

iPhoneの前後左右の傾きに応じて、左右の車輪を動かすための指示をBLE経由で送信する仕組みです。
