BLE Remote Control between ESP32-S3/C3 using ArduinoBLE Library

It's examples modified from ArduinoBLE example to show how to implement BLE Remote Control between Espressif ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 an AI Thinker NodeMCU ESP-C3-32S-Kit.


In order to make it work on my dev.boards, we have to re-config the pin accordingly.

Modified LED.ino, run on NodeMCU ESP-C3-32S-Kit.
/*
  LED

  This example creates a Bluetooth® Low Energy peripheral with service that contains a
  characteristic to control an LED.

  The circuit:
  - Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2 board, Arduino Nano 33 IoT,
    Arduino Nano 33 BLE, or Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board.

  You can use a generic Bluetooth® Low Energy central app, like LightBlue (iOS and Android) or
  nRF Connect (Android), to interact with the services and characteristics
  created in this sketch.

  This example code is in the public domain.

  LED Control

  This example scans for Bluetooth® Low Energy peripherals until one with the advertised service
  "19b10000-e8f2-537e-4f6c-d104768a1214" UUID is found. Once discovered and connected,
  it will remotely control the Bluetooth® Low Energy peripheral's LED, when the button is pressed or released.

  The circuit:
  - Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2 board, Arduino Nano 33 IoT,
    Arduino Nano 33 BLE, or Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board.
  - Button with pull-up resistor connected to pin 2.

  You can use it with another board that is compatible with this library and the
  Peripherals -> LED example.

  This example code is in the public domain.

  1. Hello, Im workink with two XIAO ESP32C3 connected as BLE central /periferal, following this example, I adapted it to send integer values, the values sent depends of some keys in the central BLE, each value generate an antion in the periferical BLE, to move a server or stepper, manage LEDS, etc.
    But I need some calback from preriferal to central in order to send back when a servo or stepper reach a especific position, but honestly I'm lost, regarding your BLE examples, what's the best to be used as examble in my project? Thanks in advence for your help
    Salus
