The problem with BLE is they make huge Bluetooth standards but forget the things people will actually want.
Their first revision was 20-23 byte packets. The first thing anyone looks for when doing BLE is “how to send larger data”. BLE 4.2 and packet length extension helped this but it’s still pretty rough because you aren’t promised any specific MTU size by spec, just hope you can the packet size you need on connection.
I have a BLE product in the wild, but the amount of work I did to get around packet limitations was probably not worth it all said and done.
BLE is good for event based data transfer of flags and small data, but you outgrow that pretty damn quickly.
- sgtnoodle 6y agoAny advice on how to start messing around with BLE? Is there a good adapter to buy for packet sniffing and whatnot? I have a new interest in BLE on account of myself recently becoming bluetooth enabled.
