Eddystone example using Python library

Introduction

Eddystone is a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon profile released by Google. Here is an example of how you can setup the BleuIO to advertise an URL as an Eddystone beacon.

This script will work on BleuIO Python library 1.2.0 or above

from bleuio_lib.bleuio_funcs import BleuIO
import time

# This is an example script showing how to setup Eddystone Beacon  using BleuIO

# Creating a callback function for scan results. For this example we just prints out the result.
# Here you can add your code to parse the data.
def my_scan_callback(scan_input):
    print("\n\nmy_evt_callback: " + str(scan_input))

# Auto-Detect dongle
my_dongle = BleuIO()
# Registers the callback functions we created earlier.
my_dongle.register_scan_cb(my_scan_callback)

print("Eddystone example using BleuIO Python Library!\n")
new_input = input("Enter the Eddystone formatted url:\n"
            "Example: 0d:16:aa:fe:10:00:03:67:6f:6f:67:6c:65:07 "
            "(https://google.com)\n>> ")
s2="03:03:aa:fe "
my_dongle.at_advdata("03:03:aa:fe " + new_input)
my_dongle.at_advstart()
time.sleep(0.1)
#Check the status of the dongle
print("\nisAdvertising: " + str(my_dongle.status.isAdvertising))

print("\n--\n")
