Release for your distribution, or install into a virtual machine that can protect your desktop machine from conflicts. Ubuntu in particularĬan get into a very bad state since core components depend on BlueZ. The distribution's older BlueZ installation and wreaking havoc with package dependencies. You might cause an issue with the new BlueZ version conflicting with Warning: Be careful compiling and installing a later version of BlueZ on top of an existing version if you useĪ Linux desktop OS like Ubuntu, Debian, etc. It's important to use this more recent version of BlueZ as the BLE APIs are still in development and a bit experimental. To gain access to the Bluetooth LE API it exposes. On Linux (like with a Raspberry Pi) you'll need to compile and install the latest version of BlueZ, currently version 5.33, Windows 10 appears to have a more capable BLE API but it has not yet been invesigated to see if it can be supported by this library yet. Windows 8 does not have BLE device search and pairing APIs. The library currently does not support Windows since BLE support is limited on that platform. Note that if you're using a different Python, like the one provided by Homebrew, be sure to install PyObjC for that version of Python. The library depends on PyObjC which Apple includes with their Python version on OSX. Mac OSX, using Apple's CoreBluetooth library.The library is implemented using BlueZ's experimental DBus bindings for access from languages such as Python. Linux, using the latest BlueZ 5.33 release.The library supports the following platforms: The library has been developed and primarily tested on Python 2.7.x, but if there are issues with Python 3 please raise them so support can be added. In particular BLE support for desktop operating systems is still somewhat buggy and spotty with support. More advanced features like getting advertisement data or interacting with other BLE services might not work or be currently supported.
#SETUP X4 RADBEACON HOW TO#
It does not allow you to emulate a BLE Peripheral via Python, or provide Python-based access to BLE peripherals connected to your system.īe aware that this library is early in development! The examples show how to detect and interact with BLE UART devices which are the primary target of the library. Note this library provides a Python wrapper for BLE Central Mode, meaning it can initiate connections and data exchanges with other BLE Peripherals. For example you can create a program to read and write data (like sensor readings) with a Bluefruit LE device in UART mode. Hides all the platform-specific BLE code (using BlueZ on Linux and CoreBluetooth on Mac OSX) and provides a simpler syncronous BLE API which is great for scripts and other automated tasks using BLE. Python library to simplify access to Bluefruit LE (Bluetooth low energy) devices and services on Linux and Mac OSX.
