This library provides simple byte and string based inter-device communication
via BLE.
It works like a walkie-talkie: configure your device to use a certain channel
(numbered 0-255, default being 42) and it will broadcast on that channel and
receive any messages from other devices using that channel.
Dependencies
=============
This library depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
Usage Example
=============
All the functionality is exposed via the very simple ``Radio`` class::
from adafruit_ble_radio import Radio
# A radio instance listens/broadcasts on a numbered channel.
r = Radio(channel=7)
# Update radio instance settings.
r.configure(channel=9)
# Broadcast a simple string message.
r.send("Hello")
# Broadcast raw bytes.
r.send_bytes(b"Hello")
# A loop to listen for incoming string based messages...
while True:
msg = r.receive()
if msg:
print(msg)
# Alternatively, to get the raw bytes and other details...
while True:
msg = r.receive_full()
if msg:
msg_bytes = msg[0]
msg_strength = msg[1]
msg_time = msg[2]
print("Recieved {} (strength {}, at time {})".format(
msg_bytes,
msg_strength,
msg_time))
Unit Tests
==========
To run the test suite you should have ``pytest`` and ``pytest-coverage``
installed (``pip install pytest pytest-coverage``).
Run the unit tests with the following command::
$ pytest --cov-report term-missing --cov=adafruit_ble_radio tests/
