When scanning for the device:
- Device Name: Likely "Mendi" or similar
- MAC Address:
C3:DF:6C:5E:82:9E - Manufacturer Data: May contain device-specific information
-
MAC Address Usage: The MAC address
C3:DF:6C:5E:82:9Ecan be used for direct connection during development, bypassing the need for discovery. -
Firmware Version 1.0.4: This firmware version will determine the BLE protocol and packet structure we need to implement.
-
Single Channel: Unlike multi-channel fNIRS devices, we'll only receive data from one measurement location, simplifying the data parsing.
-
FCC Compliance: The FCC ID can be looked up in the FCC database for additional technical details about radio frequency emissions and specifications.
The following parameters need to be discovered through BLE exploration:
- Service UUIDs
- Characteristic UUIDs
- Notification/Indication setup
- Connection interval preferences
- MTU size
- Data packet format
- Sampling rate
- Use this MAC address for direct BLE connection attempts
- Document all discovered services and characteristics
- Capture raw data packets for protocol analysis
- Verify data format matches firmware version 1.0.4 specifications
