# *** UPDATE ***
Client long read/write characteristics/descriptors now working.
We are now nearing 100% replacement of the original cpp_utils BLE library :smile:
# esp-nimble-cpp
NimBLE CPP library for use with ESP32 that attempts to maintain compatibility with the @nkolban cpp_uitls API.
Why? Because the Bluedroid library is too bulky.
Initial client code testing has resulted in code size reduction of ~115k and reduced ram consumption of ~37k.
# Installation:
Download as .zip and extract to components folder in your esp-idf project.
Run menuconfig, go to `Component config->Bluetooth->` enable Bluetooth and select NimBLE host.
`#include "NimBLEDevice.h"` in main.cpp.
# Usage:
This library is intended to be compatible with the original ESP32 BLE functions and types with minor changes.
Check [API_DIFFERENCES](https://github.com/h2zero/esp-nimble-cpp/blob/master/API_DIFFERENCES.md) for details.
# Acknowledgments:
* @nkolban and @chegewara for the [original esp32 BLE library](https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets) this project was derived from.
* @beegee-tokyo for contributing your time to test/debug and contributing the beacon examples.
# Todo:
1. Code cleanup.
2. Create documentation.
3. Expose more NimBLE features.
4. Add BLE Mesh code.
