ESP32 as iBeacon BLE

Concept

Experimenting ESP32 as BLE iBeacon and IoT gateway for broadcasting bluetooth data and receiving and storing to AWS Cloud Computing

Design

Method

ESP32 (1) as Server can be a beacon, and the signal given to ESP32 (2) as client to distribute data to cloud with HTTP or AWS feature from IoT Core AWS.

Options:

• ESP32 that reads a UUID from a BLE characteristic and retrieves the IP address associated with the UUID from a cloud server.
• Implementing one of the RSSI features of the ESP32 as a WiFi scan to determine the farthest and closest distance.

Implementation

Hardware:

ESP32

Software:

nRF APP and ArduinoIDE

Experiment

Objective: ESP (server) to ESP (receiver)
