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.

import time
from bleuio_lib.bleuio_funcs import BleuIo

my_dongle = BleuIo()
my_dongle.start_daemon()

print("\n\nConnected to Dongle.\n")
print("\nWelcome to the Eddystone example!\n\n")

success = ""
while True:
    if not success:
        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>> "
        )
    success = my_dongle.at_advdata("03:03:aa:fe " + new_input)
    time.sleep(0.1)
    if "OK" in str(success):
        advstart = my_dongle.at_advstart()
        print(advstart)
        if not input("Press any key to exit."):
            my_dongle.at_advstop()
            break
    else:
        print("Error, try again.")
        success = ""
