This week, I focused on setting up NFC scanning and WiFi, as well as integrating BLE into our system. I soldered the necessary components for our NFC scanner and tested the feature with the built in scanner on iphones. I encountered numerous challenges that slowed my progress, particularly with BLE connectivity and NFC scanning between the ESP32 and our app as these features require a premium to develop with on IOS.
Despite troubleshooting various approaches, I wasn’t able to fully resolve these issues, which left me feeling behind schedule. Right now, I am evaluating different debugging strategies and potential workarounds to address these roadblocks efficiently.
Looking ahead, I plan to resolve or find viable solutions for these issues by next week. In parallel, I will refine the BLE integration process and ensure that NFC and WiFi functionality are stable, so we can move forward with testing and further development. Getting these features working reliably will be key.
