ble controlling a DC motor with ESP32 Board and L293D

Using Arduino Project Guidance
#1

I’m having trouble changing from an uno board to ESP32 board. I have looked for examples of code but they all seem to be for boards other than the ESP32 board. I have modified an LCD code file but it keeps giving me errors. It doesn’t like me using an int or float for rx and tx values. Its probably something simple but I’m not sure where to go.

   Create a BLE server that, once we receive a connection, will send periodic notifications.
   The service advertises itself as: 6E400001-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E
   Has a characteristic of: 6E400002-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E - used for receiving data with "WRITE"
   Has a characteristic of: 6E400003-B5A3-F393-E0A9-E50E24DCCA9E - used to send data with  "NOTIFY"

   The design of creating the BLE server is:
   1. Create a BLE Server
   2. Create a BLE Service
   3. Create a BLE Characteristic on the Service
   4. Create a BLE Descriptor on the characteristic
   5. Start the service.
   6. Start advertising.

   In this example rxValue is the data received (only accessible inside that function).
   And txValue is the data to be sent, in this example just a byte incremented every second.
