Features for Pi Pico companion app

[/RaspberryPi]

I’m currently working on an iPhone app and companion code for the Pico that allows 2 way data transfer over Bluetooth LE. My current implementation on the Pico side acts as an abstraction for the easy creation of GATT services and characteristics with little to no knowledge of lower level Bluetooth setup needed. The code is at https://github.com/Jcwscience/JoltPi Any suggestions or contributions to it are welcome!

Aside from just reading and writing raw values from the phone side I’d like to make it more useful with customization like knobs, sliders, indicators, etc. and maybe a way to trigger background notifications and iOS shortcuts. I’ve only been working on this for a few days now so things are a bit messy but I do have a functional test app that scans for Bluetooth LE devices to connect to. I’ll be adding the actual connectivity and data transfer capabilities over the next few days.
