Introduction
CircuitPython BLE library for Google's open "physical web" Eddystone.
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-eddystoneTo install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-eddystoneTo install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-eddystoneUsage Example
"""This example broadcasts our Mac Address as our Eddystone ID and a link to the Adafruit Discord
server."""
import time
import adafruit_ble
from adafruit_ble_eddystone import uid, url
radio = adafruit_ble.BLERadio()
# Reuse the BLE address as our Eddystone instance id.
eddystone_uid = uid.EddystoneUID(radio.address_bytes)
eddystone_url = url.EddystoneURL("https://adafru.it/discord")
while True:
# Alternate between advertising our ID and our URL.
radio.start_advertising(eddystone_uid)
time.sleep(0.5)
radio.stop_advertising()
radio.start_advertising(eddystone_url)
time.sleep(0.5)
radio.stop_advertising()
time.sleep(4)Documentation
