BLE en Raspberry Pi


Como hemos visto en una entrada anterior la Raspberry Pi 3 dispone de BLE.

Para comenzar a trabajar con BLE en Raspberry Pi debemos comprobar que está disponible, mediante el comando hciconfig:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ hciconfig
hci0: Type: Primary Bus: UART
 BD Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1
 UP RUNNING 
 RX bytes:822 acl:0 sco:0 events:57 errors:0
 TX bytes:4231 acl:0 sco:0 commands:57 errors:0

En caso de que no esté arrancado hay que activarlo

sudo hciconfig hci0 up

Una utilidad que proporciona más información es blescan

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo blescan
Scanning for devices...
Device (new): xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (random), -91 dBm (not connectable)
Manufacturer: <060001092000c7ce0663439d1e190d97c0a7827dfe0cb225c5cad35fee>

Después de comprobar que BLE está activado podemos arrancar el modo central u observador que escucha en las direcciones más usuales y nos devuelve las direcciones MAC (Se han cambiado el resultado de las MAC, son identificaciones únicas a nivel globalpor XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hcitool lescan
LE Scan ...
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (unknown)
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (unknown)
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (unknown)
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Flex
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (unknown)
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX MTLocomotive

Una vez descubiertos los dispositivos BLE que están emitiendo anuncios o «beacons» podemos con la utilidad gatttool establecer una conexión:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ gatttool -I -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX][LE]>
[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX][LE]> connect
Attempting to connect to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 
Error: connect error: Connection refused (111)

En este caso Flex se rechaza la conexión pues precisa una autentificación, los parámetros completos de gatttool son:

[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX][LE]> help
help Show this help

char-write-cmd <handle> <new value> Characteristic Value Write (No response)

mtu <value> Exchange MTU for GATT/ATT

Otra utilidad es bluetoothctl:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bluetoothctl
 [NEW] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX raspberrypi [default]
 [NEW] Device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Flex
 [NEW] Device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX MTLocomotive

Los comandos de bluetoolhctl los podemos listar con help:

[bluetooth]# help

Con esta utilidad podemos encender y apagar BLE:

[bluetooth]# power off
 Changing power off succeeded
 [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Powered: no
 [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Discovering: no
 [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Class: 0x000000
 [bluetooth]# power on
 [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Class: 0x6c0000
 Changing power on succeeded
 [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Powered: yes
 

Como con gatttool se puede arrancar el modo scan con scan on o ver la versión

[bluetooth]# version
 Version 5.43
