Introduction

Basic IOT over BLE advertisements.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

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

Note

Only the bridge examples work on Raspberry Pi because Blinka _bleio doesn't support advertising, only scanning.

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-broadcastnet

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-broadcastnet

To 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-broadcastnet

Usage Example

Add a secrets.py file and then run ble_broadcastnet_blinka_bridge.py.
