当前有越来越多的可穿戴设备使用了蓝牙4.0 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)。
对于iOS开发而言,Apple之前专门推出CoreBluetooth的Framework来支持BLE的开发。
对于硬件开发有了解的朋友应该知道,在之前使用低版本的蓝牙的设备,要连接到iOS设备上,需要注册MFI,拥有MFI协议才能进行相应的开发。如果大家关注我之前对LEGO EV3的研究,就可以发现,EV3是使用了蓝牙2.1,因此需要MFI协议来进行开发。
本文将一步一步讲解如何使用CoreBluetooth框架来与各种可穿戴设备进行通信,使用 小米手环 来进行基本的测试。

小米手环
要开发蓝牙,需要对整个通讯过程有个基本了解。这里我摘录一些Apple官方的文档Core Bluetooth Programming Guide的图片来加以说明。这个文档其实对于开发的流程写的是非常的清楚,大家最好可以看一下。
从上面这幅图可以看到,我们的iOS设备是Central,用来接收数据和发送命令,而外设比如小米手环是Peripheral,向外传输数据和接收命令。我们要做的就是通过Central来连接Peripheral,然后实现数据的接收和控制指令的发送。在做到这一步之后,再根据具体的硬件,对接收到的数据进行parse解析。
这里用的是心率设备来做说明,每个外设Peripheral都有对应的服务Service,比如这里是心率Service。一个外设可以有不止一个s、Service。每个service里面可以有多个属性Characteristic,比如这里有两个Characteristic,一个是用来测量心率,一个是用来定位位置。
那么很关键的一点是每个Service,每个Characteristic都是用UUID来确定的。UUID就是每个Service或Characteristic的identifier。
大家可以在iPhone上下载LightBlue这个应用。可以在这里查看一些设备的UUID。
在实际使用中,我们都是要通过UUID来获取数据。这点非常重要。
从名字上大家可以很清楚的知道,这个类是用来管理BLE的。我们也就是通过这个类来实现连接。
先创建一个:
@property (nonatomic,strong) CBCentralManager *centralManager;
dispatch_queue_t centralQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.manmanlai", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
self.centralManager = [[CBCentralManager alloc] initWithDelegate:self queue:centralQueue];
然后关键在于CBCentralManagerDelegate的使用。这个之后再讲。
有了CBCentralManager,接下来就是寻找CBPeripheral外设,方法很简单:
[self.centralManager scanForPeripheralsWithServices:@[] options:nil];
这里的Service就是对应的UUID,如果为空,这scan所有service。
在上一步中,如果找到了设备,则CBCentralManager的delegate会调用下面的方法:
- (void)centralManager:(CBCentralManager *)central didDiscoverPeripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral advertisementData:(NSDictionary *)advertisementData RSSI:(NSNumber *)RSSI
{
NSLog(@"name:%@",peripheral);
if (!peripheral || !peripheral.name || ([peripheral.name isEqualToString:@""])) {
return;
}
if (!self.peripheral || (self.peripheral.state == CBPeripheralStateDisconnected)) {
self.peripheral = peripheral;
self.peripheral.delegate = self;
NSLog(@"connect peripheral");
[self.centralManager connectPeripheral:peripheral options:nil];
}
}
我们在这里创建了一个CBPeripheral的对象,然后直接连接CBPeripheral的对象也需要设置delegate.
如果Peripheral连接成功的话,就会调用delegate的方法:
- (void)centralManager:(CBCentralManager *)central didConnectPeripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral
{
if (!peripheral) {
return;
}
[self.centralManager stopScan];
NSLog(@"peripheral did connect");
[self.peripheral discoverServices:nil];
}
我们这里先停止Scan,然后让Peripheral外设寻找其Service。
找到Service后会调用下面的方法:
- (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didDiscoverServices:(NSError *)error
{
NSArray *services = nil;
if (peripheral != self.peripheral) {
NSLog(@"Wrong Peripheral.\n");
return ;
}
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(@"Error %@\n", error);
return ;
}
services = [peripheral services];
if (!services || ![services count]) {
NSLog(@"No Services");
return ;
}
for (CBService *service in services) {
NSLog(@"service:%@",service.UUID);
[peripheral discoverCharacteristics:nil forService:service];
}
}
我们根据找到的service寻找其对应的Characteristic。
找到Characteristic后会调用下面的delegate方法:
- (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didDiscoverCharacteristicsForService:(CBService *)service error:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(@"characteristics:%@",[service characteristics]);
NSArray *characteristics = [service characteristics];
if (peripheral != self.peripheral) {
NSLog(@"Wrong Peripheral.\n");
return ;
}
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(@"Error %@\n", error);
return ;
}
self.characteristic = [characteristics firstObject];
//[self.peripheral readValueForCharacteristic:self.characteristic];
[self.peripheral setNotifyValue:YES forCharacteristic:self.characteristic];
这里我们可以使用readValueForCharacteristic:来读取数据。
如果数据是不断更新的,则可以使用setNotifyValue:forCharacteristic:来实现只要有新数据,就获取。
读到数据后会调用delegate方法:
- (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:(CBCharacteristic *)characteristic error:(NSError *)error
{
NSData *data = characteristic.value;
// Parse data ...
}
这个很简单,只要使用:
[self.peripheral writeValue:data forCharacteristic:self.characteristic type:CBCharacteristicWriteWithResponse];
data是NSData类型。
使用小米手环实验,得到如下结果:

通过上面的方法,我们就可以轻松的对BLE进行开发。实际上比想象的要简单。
