  • Integrating Scanners trough Bluetooth - HID or BLE?
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 22 Oct 2023
    The idea is to read the input from those devices. Tried to use react-native-ble-plx and react-native-ble-manager I was able to find and use the EY-016 model, but could not find the EY-017 model. Was thinking about using classic mode, but then I've read about it needs MFI compliance on IOS, which those does not have. But it would be a better solution with classic, as those devices comes as HDI mode as default, so the customer would not need to do extra stuff to get going. And also if I needed to make integration with another device that didn't have BLE.
  • Should I use React Native?
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 7 Jul 2023
    I've done a decent amount of work with bluetooth and react native. It's not particularly hard, especially the scanning and connecting. react-native-ble-plx: https://github.com/dotintent/react-native-ble-plx works great and can scan, connect, setup monitoring of ble data, or just read when needed. I can probably help you a little if you need.
  • What's going on with Bluetooth?

    I've also found this, but there isn't a solid workflow on how to properly "eject" the app

    1 project | /r/reactnative | 25 Sep 2022
    excume me, I want to implement communications between android and iphone by bluetooth, but I had read some articles and documentations which tells me not support communicating between phones using BLE (Peripheral support) by using react-native-ble-plx or react-native-ble-manager I want to know which library support communications smartphones by write and read bluetooth data or how to communications by bluetooth ?
  • Expo SDK and native module
    3 projects | dev.to | 16 Sep 2022
    The most stable native module react-native-ble-plx allows working only in central mode.
  • What is NOT possible within expo?
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 9 Sep 2022
    Bluetooth is now supported using the EXPO eas build plugin provided by https://github.com/dotintent/react-native-ble-plx it works great!
  • Is it possible to transfer data between 2 phones using Bluetooth and React native?
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 18 Aug 2022
    My simple BLE scanner is made using this library: https://github.com/dotintent/react-native-ble-plx And it was quite easy to work with and easy to understand.
  • Mesh networking at events
    1 project | /r/reactnative | 11 Jul 2022
    Presumably though, you could use a low-level library like: https://github.com/dotintent/react-native-ble-plx
