Using Bluetooth in the arduino IDE?

I’ll post my continued findings here…

after some debugging I find that despite:

 bool success = LBTServer.begin((uint8_t*)SPP_SVR); 

returning true,

 if(LBTServer.available()) 

is always false.

Further, when I comment the majority of the loop method out, the loop does in fact run and I do so the device on my phone.
(I’m using light blue’s BT tracker, it’s very useful)

After looking at the example code on GIT, I see a line:

bool connected = LBTServer.accept(1800);

Which I don’t believe is in the download/example that I have. I’ll have to check later.

Also, I’d love an explanations of why loop() is setting sent to 1. It seems that it will prevent the BT magic from happening more than once.

I am also wondering how I can test this with the tools I have. I assume I can just write to the buffer and see the value on my phone, and likewise write a value on my phone and see it in the console. I’m also wondering how to add values/attributes to the connection.
