:mod:`bluetooth` --- low-level Bluetooth
========================================
.. module:: bluetooth
:synopsis: Low-level Bluetooth radio functionality
This module provides an interface to a Bluetooth controller on a board.
Currently this supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in Central, Peripheral,
Broadcaster, and Observer roles, as well as GATT Server and Client and L2CAP
connection-oriented-channels. A device may operate in multiple roles
concurrently. Pairing (and bonding) is supported on some ports.
This API is intended to match the low-level Bluetooth protocol and provide
building-blocks for higher-level abstractions such as specific device types.
.. note:: For most applications, we recommend using the higher-level
`aioble library <https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/micropython/bluetooth/aioble>`_.
.. note:: This module is still under development and its classes, functions,
methods and constants are subject to change.
class BLE
---------
Constructor
-----------
.. class:: BLE()
Returns the singleton BLE object.
Configuration
-------------
.. method:: BLE.active([active], /)
Optionally changes the active state of the BLE radio, and returns the
current state.
The radio must be made active before using any other methods on this class.
.. method:: BLE.config('param', /)
BLE.config(*, param=value, ...)
Get or set configuration values of the BLE interface. To get a value the
parameter name should be quoted as a string, and just one parameter is
queried at a time. To set values use the keyword syntax, and one ore more
parameter can be set at a time.
Currently supported values are:
- ``'mac'``: The current address in use, depending on the current address mode.
This returns a tuple of ``(addr_type, addr)``.
See :meth:`gatts_write <BLE.gatts_write>` for details about address type.
This may only be queried while the interface is currently active.
- ``'addr_mode'``: Sets the address mode. Values can be:
* 0x00 - PUBLIC - Use the controller's public address.
* 0x01 - RANDOM - Use a generated static address.
* 0x02 - RPA - Use resolvable private addresses.
* 0x03 - NRPA - Use non-resolvable private addresses.
By default the interface mode will use a PUBLIC address if available, otherwise
it will use a RANDOM address.
- ``'gap_name'``: Get/set the GAP device name used by service 0x1800,
characteristic 0x2a00. This can be set at any time and changed multiple
times.
- ``'rxbuf'``: Get/set the size in bytes of the internal buffer used to store
incoming events. This buffer is global to the entire BLE driver and so
handles incoming data for all events, including all characteristics.
Increasing this allows better handling of bursty incoming data (for
example scan results) and the ability to receive larger characteristic values.
- ``'mtu'``: Get/set the MTU that will be used during a ATT MTU exchange. The
resulting MTU will be the minimum of this and the remote device's MTU.
ATT MTU exchange will not happen automatically (unless the remote device initiates
it), and must be manually initiated with
:meth:`gattc_exchange_mtu<BLE.gattc_exchange_mtu>`.
Use the ``_IRQ_MTU_EXCHANGED`` event to discover the MTU for a given connection.
- ``'bond'``: Sets whether bonding will be enabled during pairing. When
enabled, pairing requests will set the "bond" flag and the keys will be stored
by both devices.
- ``'mitm'``: Sets whether MITM-protection is required for pairing.
- ``'io'``: Sets the I/O capabilities of this device.
Available options are::
_IO_CAPABILITY_DISPLAY_ONLY = const(0)
_IO_CAPABILITY_DISPLAY_YESNO = const(1)
_IO_CAPABILITY_KEYBOARD_ONLY = const(2)
_IO_CAPABILITY_NO_INPUT_OUTPUT = const(3)
_IO_CAPABILITY_KEYBOARD_DISPLAY = const(4)
- ``'le_secure'``: Sets whether "LE Secure" pairing is required. Default is
false (i.e. allow "Legacy Pairing").
Event Handling
--------------
.. method:: BLE.irq(handler, /)
Registers a callback for events from the BLE stack. The *handler* takes two
arguments, ``event`` (which will be one of the codes below) and ``data``
(which is an event-specific tuple of values).
**Note:** As an optimisation to prevent unnecessary allocations, the ``addr``,
``adv_data``, ``char_data``, ``notify_data``, and ``uuid`` entries in the
tuples are read-only memoryview instances pointing to :mod:`bluetooth`'s internal
ringbuffer, and are only valid during the invocation of the IRQ handler
function. If your program needs to save one of these values to access after
the IRQ handler has returned (e.g. by saving it in a class instance or global
variable), then it needs to take a copy of the data, either by using ``bytes()``
or ``bluetooth.UUID()``, like this::
connected_addr = bytes(addr) # equivalently: adv_data, char_data, or notify_data
matched_uuid = bluetooth.UUID(uuid)
For example, the IRQ handler for a scan result might inspect the ``adv_data``
to decide if it's the correct device, and only then copy the address data to be
used elsewhere in the program. And to print data from within the IRQ handler,
``print(bytes(addr))`` will be needed.

Broadcaster Role (Advertiser)
-----------------------------
.. method:: BLE.gap_advertise(interval_us, adv_data=None, *, resp_data=None, connectable=True)
Starts advertising at the specified interval (in **micro**\ seconds). This
interval will be rounded down to the nearest 625us. To stop advertising, set
*interval_us* to ``None``.
*adv_data* and *resp_data* can be any type that implements the buffer
protocol (e.g. ``bytes``, ``bytearray``, ``str``). *adv_data* is included
in all broadcasts, and *resp_data* is send in reply to an active scan.
**Note:** if *adv_data* (or *resp_data*) is ``None``, then the data passed
to the previous call to ``gap_advertise`` will be re-used. This allows a
broadcaster to resume advertising with just ``gap_advertise(interval_us)``.
To clear the advertising payload pass an empty ``bytes``, i.e. ``b''``.
Observer Role (Scanner)
-----------------------
.. method:: BLE.gap_scan(duration_ms, interval_us=1280000, window_us=11250, active=False, /)
Run a scan operation lasting for the specified duration (in **milli**\ seconds).
To scan indefinitely, set *duration_ms* to ``0``.
To stop scanning, set *duration_ms* to ``None``.
Use *interval_us* and *window_us* to optionally configure the duty cycle.
The scanner will run for *window_us* **micro**\ seconds every *interval_us*
**micro**\ seconds for a total of *duration_ms* **milli**\ seconds. The default
interval and window are 1.28 seconds and 11.25 milliseconds respectively
(background scanning).
For each scan result the ``_IRQ_SCAN_RESULT`` event will be raised, with event
data ``(addr_type, addr, adv_type, rssi, adv_data)``.
``addr_type`` values indicate public or random addresses:
* 0x00 - PUBLIC
* 0x01 - RANDOM (either static, RPA, or NRPA, the type is encoded in the address itself)
``adv_type`` values correspond to the Bluetooth Specification:
* 0x00 - ADV_IND - connectable and scannable undirected advertising
* 0x01 - ADV_DIRECT_IND - connectable directed advertising
* 0x02 - ADV_SCAN_IND - scannable undirected advertising
* 0x03 - ADV_NONCONN_IND - non-connectable undirected advertising
* 0x04 - SCAN_RSP - scan response
``active`` can be set ``True`` if you want to receive scan responses in the results.
When scanning is stopped (either due to the duration finishing or when
explicitly stopped), the ``_IRQ_SCAN_DONE`` event will be raised.
Central Role
------------
A central device can connect to peripherals that it has discovered using the observer role (see :meth:`gap_scan<BLE.gap_scan>`) or with a known address.
.. method:: BLE.gap_connect(addr_type, addr, scan_duration_ms=2000, min_conn_interval_us=None, max_conn_interval_us=None, /)
Connect to a peripheral.
See :meth:`gap_scan <BLE.gap_scan>` for details about address types.
To cancel an outstanding connection attempt early, call
``gap_connect(None)``.
On success, the ``_IRQ_PERIPHERAL_CONNECT`` event will be raised. If
cancelling a connection attempt, the ``_IRQ_PERIPHERAL_DISCONNECT`` event
will be raised.
The device will wait up to *scan_duration_ms* to receive an advertising
payload from the device.
The connection interval can be configured in **micro**\ seconds using either
or both of *min_conn_interval_us* and *max_conn_interval_us*. Otherwise a
default interval will be chosen, typically between 30000 and 50000
microseconds. A shorter interval will increase throughput, at the expense
of power usage.
Peripheral Role
---------------
A peripheral device is expected to send connectable advertisements (see
:meth:`gap_advertise<BLE.gap_advertise>`). It will usually be acting as a GATT
server, having first registered services and characteristics using
:meth:`gatts_register_services<BLE.gatts_register_services>`.
When a central connects, the ``_IRQ_CENTRAL_CONNECT`` event will be raised.
Central & Peripheral Roles
--------------------------
.. method:: BLE.gap_disconnect(conn_handle, /)
Disconnect the specified connection handle. This can either be a
central that has connected to this device (if acting as a peripheral)
or a peripheral that was previously connected to by this device (if acting
as a central).
On success, the ``_IRQ_PERIPHERAL_DISCONNECT`` or ``_IRQ_CENTRAL_DISCONNECT``
event will be raised.
Returns ``False`` if the connection handle wasn't connected, and ``True``
otherwise.
GATT Server
-----------
A GATT server has a set of registered services. Each service may contain
characteristics, which each have a value. Characteristics can also contain
descriptors, which themselves have values.
These values are stored locally, and are accessed by their "value handle" which
is generated during service registration. They can also be read from or written
to by a remote client device. Additionally, a server can "notify" a
characteristic to a connected client via a connection handle.
A device in either central or peripheral roles may function as a GATT server,
however in most cases it will be more common for a peripheral device to act
as the server.
Characteristics and descriptors have a default maximum size of 20 bytes.
Anything written to them by a client will be truncated to this length. However,
any local write will increase the maximum size, so if you want to allow larger
writes from a client to a given characteristic, use
:meth:`gatts_write<BLE.gatts_write>` after registration. e.g.
``gatts_write(char_handle, bytes(100))``.
.. method:: BLE.gatts_register_services(services_definition, /)
Configures the server with the specified services, replacing any
existing services.
*services_definition* is a list of **services**, where each **service** is a
two-element tuple containing a UUID and a list of **characteristics**.
Each **characteristic** is a two-or-three-element tuple containing a UUID, a
**flags** value, and optionally a list of *descriptors*.
Each **descriptor** is a two-element tuple containing a UUID and a **flags**
value.
The **flags** are a bitwise-OR combination of the flags defined below. These
set both the behaviour of the characteristic (or descriptor) as well as the
security and privacy requirements.
The return value is a list (one element per service) of tuples (each element
is a value handle). Characteristics and descriptor handles are flattened
into the same tuple, in the order that they are defined.
The following example registers two services (Heart Rate, and Nordic UART)::
HR_UUID = bluetooth.UUID(0x180D)
HR_CHAR = (bluetooth.UUID(0x2A37), bluetooth.FLAG_READ | bluetooth.FLAG_NOTIFY,)
HR_SERVICE = (HR_UUID, (HR_CHAR,),)
UART_UUID = bluetooth.UUID('6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E')
UART_TX = (bluetooth.UUID('6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E'), bluetooth.FLAG_READ | bluetooth.FLAG_NOTIFY,)
UART_RX = (bluetooth.UUID('6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E'), bluetooth.FLAG_WRITE,)
UART_SERVICE = (UART_UUID, (UART_TX, UART_RX,),)
SERVICES = (HR_SERVICE, UART_SERVICE,)
( (hr,), (tx, rx,), ) = bt.gatts_register_services(SERVICES)
The three value handles (``hr``, ``tx``, ``rx``) can be used with
:meth:`gatts_read <BLE.gatts_read>`, :meth:`gatts_write <BLE.gatts_write>`, :meth:`gatts_notify <BLE.gatts_notify>`, and
:meth:`gatts_indicate <BLE.gatts_indicate>`.
**Note:** Advertising must be stopped before registering services.
Available flags for characteristics and descriptors are::
from micropython import const
_FLAG_BROADCAST = const(0x0001)
_FLAG_READ = const(0x0002)
_FLAG_WRITE_NO_RESPONSE = const(0x0004)
_FLAG_WRITE = const(0x0008)
_FLAG_NOTIFY = const(0x0010)
_FLAG_INDICATE = const(0x0020)
_FLAG_AUTHENTICATED_SIGNED_WRITE = const(0x0040)
_FLAG_AUX_WRITE = const(0x0100)
_FLAG_READ_ENCRYPTED = const(0x0200)
_FLAG_READ_AUTHENTICATED = const(0x0400)
_FLAG_READ_AUTHORIZED = const(0x0800)
_FLAG_WRITE_ENCRYPTED = const(0x1000)
_FLAG_WRITE_AUTHENTICATED = const(0x2000)
_FLAG_WRITE_AUTHORIZED = const(0x4000)
As for the IRQs above, any required constants should be added to your Python code.
.. method:: BLE.gatts_read(value_handle, /)
Reads the local value for this handle (which has either been written by
:meth:`gatts_write <BLE.gatts_write>` or by a remote client).
.. method:: BLE.gatts_write(value_handle, data, send_update=False, /)
Writes the local value for this handle, which can be read by a client.
If *send_update* is ``True``, then any subscribed clients will be notified
(or indicated, depending on what they're subscribed to and which operations
the characteristic supports) about this write.
.. method:: BLE.gatts_notify(conn_handle, value_handle, data=None, /)
Sends a notification request to a connected client.
If *data* is not ``None``, then that value is sent to the client as part of
the notification. The local value will not be modified.
Otherwise, if *data* is ``None``, then the current local value (as
set with :meth:`gatts_write <BLE.gatts_write>`) will be sent.
**Note:** The notification will be sent regardless of the subscription
status of the client to this characteristic.
.. method:: BLE.gatts_indicate(conn_handle, value_handle, /)
Sends an indication request containing the characteristic's current value to
a connected client.
On acknowledgment (or failure, e.g. timeout), the
``_IRQ_GATTS_INDICATE_DONE`` event will be raised.
**Note:** The indication will be sent regardless of the subscription
status of the client to this characteristic.
.. method:: BLE.gatts_set_buffer(value_handle, len, append=False, /)
Sets the internal buffer size for a value in bytes. This will limit the
largest possible write that can be received. The default is 20.
Setting *append* to ``True`` will make all remote writes append to, rather
than replace, the current value. At most *len* bytes can be buffered in
this way. When you use :meth:`gatts_read <BLE.gatts_read>`, the value will
be cleared after reading. This feature is useful when implementing something
like the Nordic UART Service.
GATT Client
-----------
A GATT client can discover and read/write characteristics on a remote GATT server.
It is more common for a central role device to act as the GATT client, however
it's also possible for a peripheral to act as a client in order to discover
information about the central that has connected to it (e.g. to read the
device name from the device information service).
.. method:: BLE.gattc_discover_services(conn_handle, uuid=None, /)
Query a connected server for its services.
Optionally specify a service *uuid* to query for that service only.
For each service discovered, the ``_IRQ_GATTC_SERVICE_RESULT`` event will
be raised, followed by ``_IRQ_GATTC_SERVICE_DONE`` on completion.
.. method:: BLE.gattc_discover_characteristics(conn_handle, start_handle, end_handle, uuid=None, /)
Query a connected server for characteristics in the specified range.
Optionally specify a characteristic *uuid* to query for that
characteristic only.
You can use ``start_handle=1``, ``end_handle=0xffff`` to search for a
characteristic in any service.
For each characteristic discovered, the ``_IRQ_GATTC_CHARACTERISTIC_RESULT``
event will be raised, followed by ``_IRQ_GATTC_CHARACTERISTIC_DONE`` on completion.
.. method:: BLE.gattc_discover_descriptors(conn_handle, start_handle, end_handle, /)
Query a connected server for descriptors in the specified range.
For each descriptor discovered, the ``_IRQ_GATTC_DESCRIPTOR_RESULT`` event
will be raised, followed by ``_IRQ_GATTC_DESCRIPTOR_DONE`` on completion.
.. method:: BLE.gattc_read(conn_handle, value_handle, /)
Issue a remote read to a connected server for the specified
characteristic or descriptor handle.
When a value is available, the ``_IRQ_GATTC_READ_RESULT`` event will be
raised. Additionally, the ``_IRQ_GATTC_READ_DONE`` will be raised.
.. method:: BLE.gattc_write(conn_handle, value_handle, data, mode=0, /)
Issue a remote write to a connected server for the specified
characteristic or descriptor handle.
The argument *mode* specifies the write behaviour, with the currently
supported values being:
* ``mode=0`` (default) is a write-without-response: the write will
be sent to the remote server but no confirmation will be
returned, and no event will be raised.
* ``mode=1`` is a write-with-response: the remote server is
requested to send a response/acknowledgement that it received the
data.
If a response is received from the remote server the
``_IRQ_GATTC_WRITE_DONE`` event will be raised.
.. method:: BLE.gattc_exchange_mtu(conn_handle, /)
Initiate MTU exchange with a connected server, using the preferred MTU
set using ``BLE.config(mtu=value)``.
The ``_IRQ_MTU_EXCHANGED`` event will be raised when MTU exchange
completes.
**Note:** MTU exchange is typically initiated by the central. When using
the BlueKitchen stack in the central role, it does not support a remote
peripheral initiating the MTU exchange. NimBLE works for both roles.
L2CAP connection-oriented-channels
----------------------------------
This feature allows for socket-like data exchange between two BLE devices.
Once the devices are connected via GAP, either device can listen for the
other to connect on a numeric PSM (Protocol/Service Multiplexer).
**Note:** This is currently only supported when using the NimBLE stack on
STM32 and Unix (not ESP32). Only one L2CAP channel may be active at a given
time (i.e. you cannot connect while listening).
Active L2CAP channels are identified by the connection handle that they were
established on and a CID (channel ID).
Connection-oriented channels have built-in credit-based flow control. Unlike
ATT, where devices negotiate a shared MTU, both the listening and connecting
devices each set an independent MTU which limits the maximum amount of
outstanding data that the remote device can send before it is fully consumed
in :meth:`l2cap_recvinto <BLE.l2cap_recvinto>`.
.. method:: BLE.l2cap_listen(psm, mtu, /)
Start listening for incoming L2CAP channel requests on the specified *psm*
with the local MTU set to *mtu*.
When a remote device initiates a connection, the ``_IRQ_L2CAP_ACCEPT``
event will be raised, which gives the listening server a chance to reject
the incoming connection (by returning a non-zero integer).
Once the connection is accepted, the ``_IRQ_L2CAP_CONNECT`` event will be
raised, allowing the server to obtain the channel id (CID) and the local and
remote MTU.
**Note:** It is not currently possible to stop listening.
.. method:: BLE.l2cap_connect(conn_handle, psm, mtu, /)
Connect to a listening peer on the specified *psm* with local MTU set to *mtu*.
On successful connection, the the ``_IRQ_L2CAP_CONNECT`` event will be
raised, allowing the client to obtain the CID and the local and remote (peer) MTU.
An unsuccessful connection will raise the ``_IRQ_L2CAP_DISCONNECT`` event
with a non-zero status.
.. method:: BLE.l2cap_disconnect(conn_handle, cid, /)
Disconnect an active L2CAP channel with the specified *conn_handle* and
*cid*.
.. method:: BLE.l2cap_send(conn_handle, cid, buf, /)
Send the specified *buf* (which must support the buffer protocol) on the
L2CAP channel identified by *conn_handle* and *cid*.
The specified buffer cannot be larger than the remote (peer) MTU, and no
more than twice the size of the local MTU.
This will return ``False`` if the channel is now "stalled", which means that
:meth:`l2cap_send <BLE.l2cap_send>` must not be called again until the
``_IRQ_L2CAP_SEND_READY`` event is received (which will happen when the
remote device grants more credits, typically after it has received and
processed the data).
.. method:: BLE.l2cap_recvinto(conn_handle, cid, buf, /)
Receive data from the specified *conn_handle* and *cid* into the provided
*buf* (which must support the buffer protocol, e.g. bytearray or
memoryview).
Returns the number of bytes read from the channel.
If *buf* is None, then returns the number of bytes available.
**Note:** After receiving the ``_IRQ_L2CAP_RECV`` event, the application should
continue calling :meth:`l2cap_recvinto <BLE.l2cap_recvinto>` until no more
bytes are available in the receive buffer (typically up to the size of the
remote (peer) MTU).
Until the receive buffer is empty, the remote device will not be granted
more channel credits and will be unable to send any more data.
Pairing and bonding
-------------------
Pairing allows a connection to be encrypted and authenticated via exchange
of secrets (with optional MITM protection via passkey authentication).
Bonding is the process of storing those secrets into non-volatile storage.
When bonded, a device is able to resolve a resolvable private address (RPA)
from another device based on the stored identity resolving key (IRK).
To support bonding, an application must implement the ``_IRQ_GET_SECRET``
and ``_IRQ_SET_SECRET`` events.
**Note:** This is currently only supported when using the NimBLE stack on
STM32 and Unix (not ESP32).
.. method:: BLE.gap_pair(conn_handle, /)
Initiate pairing with the remote device.
Before calling this, ensure that the ``io``, ``mitm``, ``le_secure``, and
``bond`` configuration options are set (via :meth:`config<BLE.config>`).
On successful pairing, the ``_IRQ_ENCRYPTION_UPDATE`` event will be raised.
.. method:: BLE.gap_passkey(conn_handle, action, passkey, /)
Respond to a ``_IRQ_PASSKEY_ACTION`` event for the specified *conn_handle*
and *action*.
The *passkey* is a numeric value and will depend on on the
*action* (which will depend on what I/O capability has been set):
* When the *action* is ``_PASSKEY_ACTION_INPUT``, then the application should
prompt the user to enter the passkey that is shown on the remote device.
* When the *action* is ``_PASSKEY_ACTION_DISPLAY``, then the application should
generate a random 6-digit passkey and show it to the user.
* When the *action* is ``_PASSKEY_ACTION_NUMERIC_COMPARISON``, then the application
should show the passkey that was provided in the ``_IRQ_PASSKEY_ACTION`` event
and then respond with either ``0`` (cancel pairing), or ``1`` (accept pairing).
class UUID
----------
Constructor
-----------
.. class:: UUID(value, /)
Creates a UUID instance with the specified **value**.
The **value** can be either:
- A 16-bit integer. e.g. ``0x2908``.
- A 128-bit UUID string. e.g. ``'6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E'``.
