Adapter¶

This library abstracts the Bluetooth communication layer as a single adapter class, to potentially support all platforms and all environments.

BleakAdapter¶

class spherov2.adapter.bleak_adapter.BleakAdapter¶

This adapter uses hbldh/bleak library directly on the host machine. Make sure there is a low energy Bluetooth adapter (Bluetooth 4.0 or above) on your computer. Then, install the Bluetooth library by pip install bleak.

BleakAdapter is used by default by the scanner:

from spherov2 import scanner

with scanner.find_toy() as toy:
    ...

TCPAdapter¶

class spherov2.adapter.tcp_adapter.TCPAdapter¶

This adapter allows the user to send and receive Bluetooth packets connected to another host via a server running on that host as a relay.

To start the server, run python -m spherov2.adapter.tcp_server [host] [port], with host and port are optional and by default being 0.0.0.0 and 50004.

spherov2.adapter.tcp_adapter.get_tcp_adapter(host: str, port: int = 50004)[source]¶

Gets an anonymous TCPAdapter with the given address and port.

To use the adapter, for example:

from spherov2 import scanner
from spherov2.adapter.tcp_adapter import get_tcp_adapter

with scanner.find_toy(adapter=get_tcp_adapter('localhost')) as toy:
    ...
