Can BLE command be used in the external mode

Hello,

I have a Microcontroller (with bluetooth) and a HR sensor (bluetooth based). I want the MCU to connect via bluetooth with the HR sensor whenever it is around.

Now, I simply use "BLE" function to connect the HR sensor to MATLAB. But, for the MCU, I have to use external mode and MATLAB should generate C/C++ code for the function.

I am not sure, if the BLE function (or the Bluetooth toolbox as a whole) has C/C++ code generation capability. Can someone please enlighten me here? and in case it can't, is there any other way i can make the connection?

Have a nice day ahead.

Hi Ritam,

As per my understanding, you want your MCU to communicate to the Heart Rate sensor via Simulink.

Assuming that your MCU is an Arduino, the following example project might be an interesting read:

As of now there is limited functionality while using External Mode over BLE and code generation.

If you need more help on that, you can go ahead and submit a Technical Support request.
