Arduino 101 and Windows 10 bandwidth / timmings

Hi, thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if I can answer all those questions, I'm still trying to understand a lot of things, anyway here I go...

  1. Yes, Arduino should only send data (nothing to receive)
  2. Yes (I suppose that's the meaning of BLENotify)
  3. Not sure (details to follow)

I'll provide more details...

--- Arduino side:

global variables

// peripheral instance
BLEPeripheral blePeripheral;
// BLE custom service
BLEService footPedalService( ...some guid 1... );

static const int analogControllersCount = 2;
BLEUnsignedIntCharacteristic analogControllerCharacteristic[analogControllersCount] =
{
	BLEUnsignedIntCharacteristic( ...some guid 2... , BLERead | BLENotify ),
	BLEUnsignedIntCharacteristic( ...some guid 3... , BLERead | BLENotify)
};

in setup()

blePeripheral.setLocalName( ...a string... );
blePeripheral.setDeviceName( ...a string... );
// set the UUID for the service this peripheral advertises:
blePeripheral.setAdvertisedServiceUuid(footPedalService.uuid());
blePeripheral.setConnectionInterval(MIN_CONN_INTERVAL, MIN_CONN_INTERVAL);

// add service and characteristics
blePeripheral.addAttribute(footPedalService);
for (int i = 0; i < analogControllersCount; ++i)
	blePeripheral.addAttribute(analogControllerCharacteristic[i]);

// initialize values
for (int i = 0; i < analogControllersCount; ++i)
	analogControllerCharacteristic[i].setValue(0);
  • then in loop is used like:
analogControllerCharacteristic[i].setValue( ... )

--- Central side (c# app running in windows 10)
A lot of code here, so I'll just put the device related stuff
I list potential devices using:

DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher(GattDeviceService.GetDeviceSelectorFromUuid( ...guid 1... ), new[] { "System.Devices.ContainerId" })

then something like:

var service = await GattDeviceService.FromIdAsync(value.Id));
var characteristic = service.GetCharacteristics( ...guid 2 / 3... )[0];

I don't see nothing related to interval settings in those classes, maybe some configuration in windows control panel?
