Hi,

We are trying to investigate whether there is a Cypress development kit that can support hub feature.

Meaning, suppose we have 2 Cypress kit running BLE stack with lets say heart rate monitor application.
Then we have another Cypress kit that these other 2 will connect to via BLE gather the heart rate
data and send it to the cloud via ipv6?


I am attaching a diagram that shows what I am referring to.

Thanks,

Asha

Hello,

PSoC4 BLE can maintain only one connection at a time. So you will have to do Time multiplexed connection to realize this.

Thanks,

Hima

Like hima​ said, if you time-multiplex the connections between the endpoints and the hub for transmitting data, then it should be feasible.

You would probably want to use some fixed time plus a small random offset to split up the connection times between the devices to minimize collisions. Then you merely need to write the code for handling collisions, connection/data update, and the checkin + small random time for periodicity.
