pxt-bluetooth-beacons's Introduction

bluetooth-beacons

This PXT package allows the micro:bit to act as iBeacon / AltBeacon advertiser.

Usage

On MakeCode workspace, open the menu item Add Package..., and specify the package id github:kshoji/pxt-bluetooth-beacons.

iBeacon

To advertise BLE iBeacon packets, write code like this.

bluetooth.advertiseIBeacon("E20A39F4-73F5-4BC4-A12F-17D1AD07A961", 1, 2, -56);

Arguments: uuid, majorId, minorId, and txPower.

  • The uuid argument is string style, and it can omit the hyphens.
  • The majorId minorId arguments are numbers from 0 to 65535.
  • The txPower argument is a number (dBm) from -128 to 127.

AltBeacon

To advertise BLE AltBeacon packets, write code like this.

let beaconId = pins.createBuffer(20)
beaconId.setNumber(NumberFormat.Int32BE, 0, 0x01020304)
beaconId.setNumber(NumberFormat.Int32BE, 4, 0x05060708)
beaconId.setNumber(NumberFormat.Int32BE, 8, 0x090A0B0C)
beaconId.setNumber(NumberFormat.Int32BE, 12, 0x0D0E0F10)
beaconId.setNumber(NumberFormat.Int32BE, 16, 0x11121314)

bluetooth.advertiseAltBeacon(0x0059, beaconId, -56)

Arguments: manufacturerId, beaconId, and txPower.

  • The manufacturerId argument is a number from 0 to 65535.
  • The beaconId argument is a buffer with 20 bytes.
  • The txPower argument is a number (dBm) from 0 to -127.

pxt-bluetooth-beacons's Issues

The hex file is not available, please connect to internet and try again.

I'm using a micro:bit v2 on Mac OS 11.7, the module was working great until randomly this error started appearing.

It occurs every time I download the module service on multiple devices, browsers and Operating Systems, even before I write any code using it.

Tested On:

  • Mac OS with Chrome and Opera
  • Iphone with Safari
  • Beta Editor
  • V1 Editor

Apparently there is an issue with core -> math.ts as it flashes with an error every time I try to download my code. This module is amazing and it would be nice to have this detrimental issue fixed.

If you can't fix it, how else can I broadcast a bluetooth UART beacon with the micro:bit?

compilation error on make code

I'm using micro:bit on Windows10 using Chrome to test some beacon stuff. When I try to compile the following error is thrown
Compilation failed, please check your code for errors

I'm using the following script:

bluetooth.advertiseIBeacon(
"E20A39F473F54BC4A12F17D1AD07A961",
1,
2,
-56
)

Thank you in advance.
