Bluetooth LE Mouse library for the ESP32 (Arduino IDE compatible)

ESP32 BLE Mouse library

This library allows you to make the ESP32 act as a Bluetooth Mouse and control what it does. E.g. move the mouse, scroll, make a click etc.

• ESP32-BLE-Gamepad

Features

• Left click
• Right click
• Middle click
• Back/Forwards click
• Move mouse pointer left/right
• Move mouse pointer up/down
• Scroll up/down
• Scroll left/right
• Report optional battery level to host (basically works, but it doesn't show up in Android's status bar)
• Customize Bluetooth device name/manufacturer
• Compatible with Android
• Compatible with Windows
• Compatible with Linux
• Compatible with MacOS X (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices)
• Compatible with iOS (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices)

Installation

• (Make sure you can use the ESP32 with the Arduino IDE. Instructions can be found here.)
• Download the latest release of this library from the release page.
• In the Arduino IDE go to "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Add .ZIP Library..." and select the file you just downloaded.
• You can now go to "File" -> "Examples" -> "ESP32 BLE Mouse" and select any of the examples to get started.

Example

/**
 * This example turns the ESP32 into a Bluetooth LE mouse that scrolls down every 2 seconds.
 */
#include <BleMouse.h>

BleMouse bleMouse;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Starting BLE work!");
  bleMouse.begin();
}

void loop() {
  if(bleMouse.isConnected()) {
    Serial.println("Scroll Down");
    bleMouse.move(0,0,-1);
  }
  delay(2000);
}

API docs

The BleMouse interface is almost identical to the Mouse Interface, so you can use documentation right here: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/usb/mouse/

Just remember that you have to use bleMouse instead of just Mouse and you need these two lines at the top of your script:

#include <BleMouse.h>
BleMouse bleMouse;

This library supports a few additional features that the Mouse library does not support at the time of writing:

• Scrolling left/right E.g.: bleMouse.move(0,0,0,1) (Scroll left) and bleMouse.move(0,0,0,-1) (Scroll right)
• Using the back and forward buttons E.g.: bleMouse.click(MOUSE_BACK) and bleMouse.click(MOUSE_FORWARD)

There is also Bluetooth specific information that you can use (optional):

Instead of BleMouse bleMouse; you can do BleMouse bleMouse("Bluetooth Device Name", "Bluetooth Device Manufacturer", 100);. The third parameter is the initial battery level of your device. To adjust the battery level later on you can simply call e.g. bleMouse.setBatteryLevel(50) (set battery level to 50%). By default the battery level will be set to 100%, the device name will be ESP32 Bluetooth Mouse and the manufacturer will be Espressif.
