Simple Bluetooth BLE between ESP32 devices

There are lots of things in life that are supposed to be difficult. One of them is getting Bluetooth to work between devices. However, this is now not the case. Because I can do it.

It’s not quite a simple as you might expect though, the BLE server and client examples for the ESP32 devices distribution don’t work straight out of the box (they really should) because they use different service and characteristic ids and (and this is the tricky one folks) the device name for the server is more than three characters long (which for some reason stops the client from recognising it).

Anyhoo, to make things really useful for you I’ve slightly fettled the samples and dropped them on GitHub for you to just grab and go. They make it super-easy to send messages from one ESP32 to the other.
