ST BLE Toolbox: How to use the environment

[KMew]

Hello,

I am working with the Nucleo Bluetooth boards (NUCLEO-F401RE + NUCLEO-IDB05A2) and I want to test some custom code I'm writing to make sure I understand how to use the X-CUBE-BLE software package.

To do this, I am trying to use the ST BLE Toolbox to send a command to the Nucleo boards to turn an LED on/off. The problem is that I can't find anywhere to write anything custom on the phone. I feel like I'm missing something very obvious, but I can't find any documentation on the ST BLE Toolbox app at all.

The app does detect the device and can connect to it, but I can't find out how to add any custom functionality to the app.

Does anyone have either:

1) Instructions on how to set up custom commands in the ST BLE Toolbox

2) An easier method to test custom code with a phone?

Hello @KMew​ ,

I recommend you to refer to AN4571.

This application note note describes the STM32 Bluetooth low energy (BLE) toolbox Android application (STSW-STM32153) to be used with BLE mobile phone and an STM32 Nucleo board.

Also I advise you to take a look at this wiki.

I hope this help you!
