How to use? about solarbreeze HOT 16 CLOSED

Can you check the logs when you run it from xcode? It's been a while, but from what I recall turning on the switch should enable the advertising of the virtual portal, which Skylanders Trap Team iOS shoudl detect.

Being blank, I think that's because you don't have any tokens. Looking at the code (https://github.com/bettse/Solarbreeze/blob/master/Solarbreeze/Token.swift#L266-L284) I think you need to load .bin files of the skylanders via iTunes file sharing (iirc this is how I did it: https://support.readdle.com/documents/transfer-share-your-files/itunes). Just to head off a potential question: Don't ask me where to get those.

Looking at the code, I think the "second" screen is for connecting to a real portal

I uploaded a backup of one of my figures to solarbreeze via iTunes like you suggested and it was being picked up, so thank you for that :)
Trap Team still isn't picking up solarbreeze but I'll examine xcode logs for that shortly as some other work just came up. Thank you for your quick replies, especially on such an old project :)

interestingly my ubuntu machine's picking up the device as Skylanders Portal as the code says it should, after experimenting more, i noticed it's not being picked up by other ios devices or windows computers.
Android worked though

My other iOS device is an iPhone 7 on iOS 15.8.2

xcode logs weren't really reporting anything, selecting a skylander showed S 4 bytes as well as some data about my figure, but since no device with the game on it was detecting my portal, i don't assume it's working, at least not as is.
Thank you so much, if you have any other suggestions then please do let me know, I'll explore making my own since this is very interesting stuff.

mind posting the logs? did they show that it was advertising? did it give any indication the iOS device running the game was attempting to connect?

Ah: maybe try uncommenting some of the prints (ex https://github.com/bettse/Solarbreeze/blob/master/Solarbreeze/BLEPortal.swift#L28 ) that I have commented out

from solarbreeze.

Thanks, tried this, no difference in the console logs
Went ahead and uncommented everything and the only difference was a => 11 bytes following S 4 bytes
Keep in mind that I'm not using this to communicate with the portal but rather as an emulator

Also tried placing a breakpoint on that function (https://github.com/bettse/Solarbreeze/blob/master/Solarbreeze/BLEPortal.swift#L28) and it was never hit

Messing around with more breakpoints now to try and debug this as well

EDIT: gotta go, won't reply for a while

I think I had it backwards and that might be still part of conecting to a real portal. Add print statements to https://github.com/bettse/Solarbreeze/blob/master/Solarbreeze/FakeBaseInterface.swift and that should show the ble advertisements starting when the switch is flipped.

Yep it was showing that it is broadcasting, however when something tries to connect the XPC connection gets invalidated and it resets

I should also state that someone else got it working on two devices running i believe iOS 10

Good to hear

connect the XPC connection gets invalidated and it resets

Probably need to google to debug that one. Could it be permissions or entitlement or something? the code is from before they made developers add things to info.plist for BLE permission

Will do! I'll reply to this thread if I get it working

Does #4 basically close this?

from solarbreeze.

Yep :)
