ESP32 Arduino BLE Server: Using a custom Advertising Address

ImageMarc Rupprath asked 5 years ago

Hello,

i am building a “digital twin” of an LEGO technic Hub, by using an ESP32.

Target is that ESP32 can be connected to LEGO BLE Apps.

At least i have concerns, that one reason i did not get a connection request is because LEGO Apps using Address Filters .

An Example of a LEGO HUB Address is like:Advertising Address: LegoSyst_4a:3a:0c (90:84:2b:4a:3a:0c) ( a hub owned by me)

As you may know ours is like: Advertising Address: Espressi_cb:69:fa (bc:dd:c2:cb:69:fa)

Question is, how to change Advertising address is sketch to be shown as “LegoSyste” like : 90:84:2b:aa:bb:cc for example

Thanks in advance

Marc

Hello Marc,

If you use this next sketch, you can set a custom MAC Address for your ESP32 BLE device:

I’m not sure why, but it’s required to increase by two the last address, for example:

uint8_t newMACAddress[] = {0x90, 0x84, 0x2B, 0x4A, 0x3A, 0x0A};

To get:

uint8_t newMACAddress[] = {0x90, 0x84, 0x2B, 0x4A, 0x3A, 0x0C};

I hope that helps!

Regards,

Sara
