Has anyone used the BLE with an HC-10. Ive got the BLE working with a separate app, but I can’t seem to figure out how to find the characteristic UUID to plug into thunkable.

Hey @jw01563daqgz

What sort of values are you getting from your `Scan` function?

Im getting the device Names and id’s no problem. Im able to connect to the HM-10 with the connect by name function. its just when I try to transmit data that I’m having issues. Should I have to scan before I can send data ?

If you’re using android you just need to use the characters UUID: 0000FFE1-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB (obviusly you must be connected to the device to transmit data)  
Using iOS, I don’t know why, I’ve got problems too

There is an app in the Google play store / Apple store which might be able to help you -

> <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reb.dsd_ble&hl=en_US>
>
> With this APP, you can more efficiently communicate with the DSD TECH Bluetooth module, which saves you a lot of time:
> The current list of compatible Bluetooth devices is as follows:
> 1, DSD TECH SH-HC-08 Bluetooth module
> 2, DSD TECH SH-M08 Bluetooth module
> 3, DSD TECH HM-10 Bluetooth module
> 4, DSD TECH SH-11 Bluetooth 5.0 modul...

You can connect your device with the app and you can find the **_characteristic_** UUID from the connected device info.

Best,  
Wei

All i’m able to see for iOS are the characteristics of UUID ‘FFE1’ but still can’t send data using 0000FFE1-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB or just FFE1. Again, i am able to connect just not send data. Was there a solution for this yet? Android works fine just not IOS.

Also had no problems sending data with DSD TECH Bluetooth App, LightBlue, and BLE scanner to my HM-10 with IOS.

This is a well know issue I spent weeks trying to figure it out. No solution as far as I know.  
My advice-  
If you have a mac you are better off using Xcode.  
If you don’t have a mac try a different module I read ESP32 might work.  
Good luck!

My app worked fine on both android and IOS until 4, 5 months ago. then I no longer tested on IOS but I only worked on android for testing. A month ago I retested on IOS and it no longer worked. I think THUNKABLE has changed something. On the connection side, I have not changed anything neither on the app nor on the arduino.
