[Interest] QLowEnergyController always disconnected after service discovery finished

Wed Oct 31 02:16:02 CET 2018

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for your advice, I seperated charateristics reading with service discovery and Error1:"no attribute in ..." is disappeared.

However, the QLowEnergyController is still disconnected several seconds after service discovery is finished, still there is error of "Connection timed out" or "Connection reset by peer". I wonder is this BLE feature and is it normal? as when I use "BLE analyser" on android phone to read BLE devices, there are all automatically disconnected in several seconds after connection is estabilished.

Hi,

You should find and resolve the first error, any error could lead to disconnection:

qt.bluetooth.bluez: Error1: "no attribute in given range found" last command: 10 handle: 1
m_controller discoveryFinished

Also make sure you finish the discovery before you start doing any other services/characteristics discovery with BlueZ.

Side note: In the case of the Bluez (especially the Android one), give it some delay between your request and avoid sending multiple request at the same time. After you connect put a sleep delay of a few hundred ms and always request a single services and characteristic at a time.

The stack is so buggy it’s the only way to make it work properly and reliably. Don’t base your “it work” with BlueZ on a single test run, the results change a lot with the device load and BLE usage by other application. iOS and OS X on the other hand seem t work just fine, they do not need the artificial delay, so it’s a delay festival with ifdef.

Hi,

When I use QLowEnergyController to scan the service, it's always disconnected about 15 seconds after services discovery is finished. the error is not certain, sometimes it's "Connection reset by peer", sometimes it's "Connection timeout".

The log is attached, can anyone have a look at it and give me some advice? thanks in advance.
