BleDriver.NET

C# bindings for Bluegiga BLED112 or BLE112 Bluetooth Low Energy USB Dongle.

This project generates C# api bindings for the Bluegiga BLED112 by parsing the bleapi XML specification file. The user is required to have the Bluegiga Bluetooth Smart SDK (available from http://techforum.bluegiga.com/BLED112). This project is not associated with Bluegiga.

Visual Studio Code configuration

• Install the following extensions:
  • C# Dev Kit, to run the unit tests
  • Python, to generate new API classes when a new API .xml is available from Bluegiga

Generating the API

Steps:

• Open Visual Studio Code in the root of the repository
• Open the Run & Debug window
• Run "Python Debugger: Generate BG API", this will update the generated C# class ./src/BgApi.g.cs

Running Unit Tests

Steps:

• Plug in your BLED112 dongle into a free USB socket
• Update the COM port in CommandTests.cs according to your Device Manager, there should be a "Bluegiga Bluetooth Low Energy (COMx)" entry, e.g. COM9

from the command line:

• cd ./tests
• dotnet test

from Visual Studio Code:

• Open the Test Explorer window using Ctrl+Shift+P and select "Testing: Focus on Test Explorer View"
• Then "Run Tests", "Debug Tests" or "Run Tests with Coverage"
• "Show Output" shows the console logs during test case execution

Result:

Passed!  - Failed:     0, Passed:     4, Skipped:     0, Total:     4, Duration: 25 s - BgApiDriver.Tests.dll (net8.0)
