Ble Script Runner

This Python application acts as a BLE Central that connects to devices exposing the UUID 0000ffe0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb and exposing the characteristic 0000ffe1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb. It then subscribes to notifications from the characteristic and, on receiving a notification, executes the script contained in the notification.

The role of the BLE peripheral is played by the Android application BleSimpleApp. Through this app, the user can control which script to execute on the BLE Central by sending a notification to it.

Install The Python Application

To install the application, clone the repository, cd to the clone directory and run the following commands:

cd BleCentral/
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: pyobjc is only required on macOS, on other platforms the dependecy can be removed from requirements.txt, but other dependencies may be required.

Now you are ready to run the Python application on your device.

Run The Python Application

Inside the BleCentral directory, and with the virtual environment activated, run:

python main.py
