BLE Customizable Controller vs Universal BLE

BLE Customizable Controller is a Bluetooth Low Energy Controller meant for embedded/programming projects, providing a simple rudimentary controller for developing and testing one's programming projects.

Universal BLE is an open-source developer tool for exploring and testing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. It empowers developers, engineers, and hobbyists to discover, connect, and debug BLE devices with a consistent cross-platform experience. Key Features Device Discovery Real-time scanning — Discover nearby BLE devices with live results; scanning continues when you open a device's detail screen Flexible filters — Filter by service UUIDs, name prefix, or manufacturer data (comma- or newline-separated) Saved filter presets — Save, rename, and reuse filter combinations; filters persist across app sessions Search — Search devices by name or by company name (resolved from manufacturer data via Bluetooth company identifiers) Sort options — Sort the device list by RSSI, last seen, or name Company identification — Show company name from manufacturer data using the Bluetooth SIG company identifier list RSSI and advertisements — View signal strength (RSSI), last advertisement (name, RSSI, timestamp), and a list of received ads that flashes on new advertisements System devices — On supported platforms, view and connect to devices already connected at the system level (with optional service filter) Connection Management Connect and disconnect — Connect to and disconnect from BLE peripherals with one tap Auto-reconnect — Optional auto-connect for reconnection when a device becomes available again Connection state — Real-time connection state updates Multiple connections — Support for multiple simultaneous device connections Service & Characteristic Exploration GATT discovery — Discover all services and characteristics on connected devices with detailed, human-readable formatting Favorite services — Mark services as favorites; they appear first in the list (system services last) Property filters — Filter characteristics by property (read, write, notify, indicate, etc.) with visual filter chips Navigation — Previous/next buttons to move between characteristics without collapsing the list Copy services — Copy the full discovered GATT layout (e.g. for documentation or debugging) from the Services panel header Data Operations Read — Read characteristic values on demand Write — Write data to characteristics (with or without response) Subscribe — Subscribe to notifications/indications per characteristic or "subscribe to all" for notifiable characteristics Live updates — Incoming values are shown in the logs with timestamps; clear or copy the full log Pairing & Security Pair and unpair — Initiate pairing and unpair devices when supported Pairing state — Monitor pairing state changes in real time Advanced & Developer Options MTU — Request a larger MTU (e.g. 247) for better throughput where supported Command queue — Choose queue type in the drawer: Global (single queue), Per Device, or None (parallel) Configurable timeout — Set operation timeout (e.g. 10 seconds) for all BLE operations Logs — Operation log with copy-all and per-entry clear; comprehensive error handling with detailed codes UUID formats — Accepts common UUID string formats (e.g. with or without hyphens) UI & Cross-Platform Responsive layout — Adapts to mobile, tablet, and desktop (e.g. breakpoints at 600px and 1000px) Bluetooth status — Bluetooth availability icon with tooltip (tap on mobile to see state) Permissions — Guided permission flow where required (e.g. location for BLE on Android); re-checks on app resume Cross-platform — Built with the universal_ble plugin for consistent behavior across supported platforms Perfect For Developers building BLE-enabled applications Engineers testing and debugging BLE devices Hobbyists exploring IoT and smart device capabilities Students learning about Bluetooth Low Energy technology QA teams validating BLE device functionality
