Connecting GPy to Blynk using BLE
-
Hi all - first post here, please excuse if I use the wrong terminology in places.
I'm trying to connect my pycom GPy to Blynk over BLE. I am using the Blynk library from @vskymanskyy shown here. The WiFi side of things works perfect, I'm trying to translate those successful connection steps over to BLE. I've tried modifying the BLE code provided all sorts of ways, but can never seem to get the GPy to subscription to 'complete' - The button in Blynk never goes past 'Connecting...'. I am a receiving a subscription notification, which either returns blank (most of the time), or sometimes returns the first/second 20 bits of my Auth key. I can actually read/write to the Blynk client, but it seems to time out after 2 seconds as I never 'fully' subscribe somehow. I've tried sending the blynk connection commands all sorts of ways, no result. Please see the latest version of my code before. The library blynklib remains unchanged, except that I removed the login send command from the _connect function and moved it here.

It continues on like this for a few seconds and then disconnects. I've combed through all the forums, I've tried pinging this thing 100 different ways and in different boot up sequences. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
