Get device by index from whitelist?

[matthias-bs]

Hi,

is there a way to get a device by index by iterating through the whitelist?

I have a whitelist which contains the addresses of all devices I'm interested in, as in https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino/tree/release/1.4/examples/NimBLE_Scan_Whitelist.

It seems I still have to iterate through all devices found to get data from the device I'm looking for, because there is only a function getWhiteListAddress(i) (where i is the whitelist-index) but apparently no function like getWhiteListDevice(i).

What I'm doing now is:

BLEScanResults foundDevices = _pBLEScan->start(duration, false /* is_continue */);
    
for (unsigned i=0; i<foundDevices.getCount(); i++) {
     if (foundDevices.getDevice(i).getAddress() == BLEAddress(my_sensor)) {
         // Temperature
         int temp_msb = foundDevices.getDevice(i).getServiceData().c_str()[7];
         int temp_lsb = foundDevices.getDevice(i).getServiceData().c_str()[6];
    }
}

What I would actually like to do is:

for (unsigned i=0; i<NimBLEDevice::getWhiteListCount(); i++) {
         // Temperature
         int temp_msb = NimBLEDevice::getWhiteListDevice(i).getServiceData().c_str()[7];
         int temp_lsb = NimBLEDevice::getWhiteListDevice(i).getServiceData().c_str()[6];
}

Or maybe I missed something?

Best regards
Matthias

There is no interface for this since there is no link between the whitelist and the scan results (it's just a filter).

Thank you for the answer. Can I get the device from the address then?

[h2zero]

There is no interface for this either, sorry.

Thanks again, also for implementing this great library!
