Otherwise you must compile your build. Add the following to user_config_override.h:
#ifndef USE_IBEACON
#define USE_IBEACON // Add support for bluetooth LE passive scan of ibeacon devices
#endif
HM-17 and HM-16 are a Bluetooth BLE V4.1 module based on TI CC2640R2f chip. Manufactured by Jinan Huamao
Check whether your module is communicating properly over its TX/RX pins and that it has the required firmware (firmware V120 or V110). Only when you're sure everything is ok proceed with the configuration.
| HM-16/17 | ESP8266 |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| VCC | 3.3V |
| TX | GPIOx |
| RX | GPIOy |
In the Configuration -> Configure Module page assign:
- GPIOx to
iBeacon TX (168) - GPIOy to
iBeacon RX (169)
When first connected HM-16/17 is in peripheral mode. You have to change it to central mode using commands Sensor52 1 and Sensor52 2.
If you have supported iBeacon Bluetooth devices in range, they will be discovered and will start to populate the webUI with data:
