An AI experience via Copilot
-
ChatGPT I’ve used ChatGPT (3.5) numerous times It has written a few bash scripts for me & done a nice job But for the most part it has just been passable, nothing special. Copilot I had not used copilot until just a few minutes ago. I needed some info on a Arduino / ESP32 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) method
pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x06);
Since I’ve switched to running MS Edge on all my devices and since copilot is built in I decided to ask it about the method (on my iPad). Copilot gave me such a detailed, thoughtful and well-written answer I instantly thought “hmm…maybe I will never ask a question on SO again.”copilot answer:
The line of code pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x06); sets the minimum preferred connection interval for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising. Let me explain further: Connection Interval: The connection interval is the time between two consecutive data exchanges (connection events) between a BLE peripheral (like an ESP32) and a central device (such as a smartphone). It determines how often the devices communicate during an active connection. Preferred Connection Interval: The preferred connection interval is a range (in milliseconds) that the peripheral suggests to the central device. It indicates the desired frequency of communication. In this case, 0x06 corresponds to a connection interval of approximately 7.5 ms (hex value multiplied by 1.25 ms). Why Set Preferred Connection Interval?: Setting the preferred connection interval can help improve communication efficiency. Some devices (like iPhones) may ignore this suggestion, but it’s still good practice to set it. Additional Notes: The pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x06); line is often used in ESP32 code to enhance compatibility with iOS devices. You might also see pAdvertising->setMaxPreferred(0x12); to set the maximum preferred connection interval1. Remember that the actual connection interval negotiated during the connection setup may differ based on the central device’s capabilities and the peripheral’s suggestions. 😊
1. Yes it included the smiley and I liked that “personal” touch. 2. If you search the Web and SO and even the official arduino site you will not find this documented so Copilot is amazing. 3. With AI like this, who needs SO. :rolleyes:

Have you utilized perplexity.
Probably not yet, since this is just a basic question. However, I really couldn't find documentation on this particular item and Copilot did a great job of providing context and explaining it clearly. We will see how it does on perplex questions in the future.

I know peeps on CP argue this, like always*... but AI is coming in a major way. It's literally the second Internet. Get on board or become obsolete. * They're always wrong though, like when I predicted the decline of Apple well over a decade ago... some peeps on CP argued... but watch.

I've had nice experiences with Copilot. Wanted a customized animation timer for Powerpoint, and Copilot gave its VBA code in a trice. Works like a charm.

A coding test is different from providing documentation.

raddevus I have used this site Code Generator - CodePal[^] I know nothing about programming and Arduino but posted this ESP32 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) method pAdvertising->setMinPreferred(0x06); as the question under Arduino The response it gave me is meaningless to me but the response had a explain this code BUTTON I did not click it. I would post the code here but I feel that is a violation of the guidelines for interacting in the lounge. If you find the time to test "codepal.ai" and post impressions great If not I understand completely Thanks for sharing your impressions of various AI sites
