Bluetooth Basics Demo

Last Updated on : 2024-06-24 10:15:21download

This topic demonstrates how to debug a Tuya-enabled Bluetooth device with TuyaOS, using the popular Bluetooth chip nRF52832 as an example.

The instructions in this topic also apply to other platforms, except for the firmware flashing procedure. Currently, the Bluetooth chips compatible with TuyaOS include Nordic’s nRF52832, FREQCHIP’s FR801x, Phyplus’s PHY6222, Telink’s TLSR825x, and BEKEN’s BK3431Q and BK32881. The procedure in this topic also applies to the Bluetooth beacon and Bluetooth mesh products.

Hardware

Tuya’s proprietary development board is recommended. You can purchase the development board (part number: 2.03.99.00045) from the Tuya Developer Platform. This board uses Tuya’s Bluetooth LE dongle hardware.

Bluetooth Basics Demo

You can also use Nordic’s development boards or other nRF52832 development boards. Prepare an I2C OLED display with a resolution of 128 × 32 pixels. If you do not have a display, you can still debug other features, excluding I2C.

Software

Set up the TuyaOS environment and download the latest TuyaOS Bluetooth LE SDK (nRF52832).

Procedure

Build and flash

  1. (Optional) If your project is not intended for production, you can perform temporary authorization by altering the code. This is for debugging purposes only. Before production, make sure to change the code back.

  2. Right-click nRF52832-3.5.3/software/TuyaOS/apps/tuyaos_demo_ble_peripheral.

  3. Choose Build Project and wait for the building to complete.

  4. Right-click this directory again and choose Flash Prod to flash the full firmware. This method will be supported in the future. Currently, to flash the full firmware, open the nRF52832-3.5.3\software\TuyaOS.log\hex and double-click load_softdevice_bootloader_app.bat. See Development Platform for other approaches to firmware flashing.

Handshake

  1. Connect Tuya’s development board to the computer using a micro-USB cable. The serial port TX is P0.06 and RX is P0.08.

  2. Click to download the host software. For more information, see Host Software User Guide. Open the host software. If you receive a pop-up window, choose More info > Run anyway. Select the correct serial port and set the baud rate 9600.

  3. Choose System > Handshake and click Send Command to initiate a handshake with the device.

Pairing

Search for the Tuya Smart app on app stores and install it on your mobile phone. Log in to the app and tap Add Device or the + in the top right corner and choose Add Device. The host software displays the updated pairing status, MTU, timestamp, and connection parameters. The figure below demonstrates the process.

Bluetooth Basics Demo

Data exchange

Communicate with the mobile app using the host software that simulates a real device. You can report data, send commands, modify reported data, and present status.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Report LED on: The LED on the panel comes on.

  2. Report LED off: The LED on the panel comes off.

  3. Report welcome message: A welcome message is displayed on the app panel.

  4. Report custom data: 123456 is displayed on the app panel.

  5. Report a fault: Fault 2 alert is displayed on the app panel.

  6. Report a fault: The alert disappears when no fault is reported.

Debug GPIO

You can set any GPIO to a high or low state, read its level, reset it, and modify its number.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. GPIO outputs high.

  2. GPIO outputs low.

  3. GPIO outputs high.

  4. GPIO is reset to its default state, which has the same effect as output low.

Debug weather service

Location:

  • 1: The location where the device is paired.

  • 2: The location where the mobile phone is.

Weather parameters:

(1 << 0), /**< temperature. */
(1 << 1), /**< high temperature. */
(1 << 2), /**< low temperature. */
(1 << 3), /**< humidity. */
(1 << 4), /**< weather condition. */
(1 << 5), /**< pressure. */
(1 << 6), /**< sensible temperature. */
(1 << 7), /**< uvi. */
(1 << 8), /**< sunrise. */
(1 << 9), /**< sunset. */
(1 << 10), /**< unix time, used with sunrise and sunset. */
(1 << 11), /**< local time, used with sunrise and sunset. */
(1 << 12), /**< wind speed. */
(1 << 13), /**< wind direction. */
(1 << 14), /**< wind speed scale/level. */
(1 << 15), /**< aqi. */
(1 << 16), /**< tips. */
(1 << 17), /**< Detailed AQI status and national ranking. */
(1 << 18), /**< pm10. */
(1 << 19), /**< pm2.5. */
(1 << 20), /**< o3. */
(1 << 21), /**< no2. */
(1 << 22), /**< co. */
(1 << 23), /**< so2. */
(1 << 24), /**< weather condition mapping ID. */

A day: 1 to 7.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Get the current temperature for day 1.

  2. Get the current temperature, highest temperature, and lowest temperature for day 1.

  3. Get the current temperature, highest temperature, lowest temperature, weather conditions, air pressure, and apparent temperature for day 1.

Debug PWM

Modify the PWM frequency and duty cycle and select a channel.

Mappings between channels and pins:

Channel Pin
Channel 0 P0.28
Channel 1 P0.29
Channel 2 P0.30
Channel 3 P0.31

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Set the PWM frequency to 1000 and the duty cycle to 20%.

  2. Set the PWM frequency to 1000 and the duty cycle to 50%.

  3. Set the PWM frequency to 2000 and the duty cycle to 50%.

Debug scanning

Start and stop scanning, modify scanning interval and window, and switch between proactive and passive scanning. After scanning is started, the device will report the number of discovered devices every second.

The more devices scanned per second, the greater the scanning performance. This metric can be used to determine if the scanning is acceptable.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Start passive scanning.

  2. Start proactive scanning.

  3. Stop scanning.

    Bluetooth Basics Demo

Debug RTC

Get and set RTC and start RTC timer (restart RTC). When the device is powered on, the RTC will start counting from zero.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Turn on or off the serial port. Each time the serial port is restarted, a command will be sent to restart the device.

  2. Get the RTC, which approaches zero, because the RTC starts counting from zero every time the device is powered on.

  3. Set the RTC to 100.

  4. Get the RTC again, which approaches 100.

    Bluetooth Basics Demo

Debug watchdog

Start the watchdog, enable and disable scheduled feeding, and stop the watchdog (if supported by the chip).

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Start the watchdog, with scheduled feeding disabled. The device will restart in four seconds.

  2. Start the watchdog, with scheduled feeding enabled. The watchdog is fed every two seconds, so the device will not restart.

  3. Restart the watchdog, with scheduled feeding disabled. You are notified that the watchdog has been activated. The device will restart four seconds after the last feeding.

    Bluetooth Basics Demo

Debug flash memory

Read, write, and erase the flash memory and modify the start address and operation length.

The figure below demonstrates the following actions:

  1. Read the flash memory. The result is all FF.

  2. Write 12345678 to the flash memory.

  3. Read 12345678 from the flash memory.

  4. Erase the flash memory.

  5. Read the flash memory. The result is all FF because the flash memory has been erased.
