BLE

The board's Bluetooth name, shared by every ble node in a flow. Optional: without it, the board is called thingstudio.

Each ble node has a BLE field. Pick the flow's BLE config, or add one with +. A flow has one, since a board has one radio.

Settings

  • name — what other devices show when they find the board, up to 26 bytes. Default thingstudio. A ble advertise node shares the 31 bytes of an advertisement between the name and its payload, so a shorter name leaves more room.

Behavior

Once a ble node has started the radio, it stays on until the board resets, through every redeploy. A deploy stops the old flow's scans, advertising and connections, not the radio. It keeps some ESP-IDF memory meanwhile: a hard reset gives it back.

Errors

A name over 26 bytes, or two BLE configs in a flow, stops the deploy.
