Bluetooth

---

Endpoint supports two kinds of Bluetooth devices through USB, they are:

• Broadcom: BCM4335,BCM4350, BCM4356, BCM4371, BCM20702, BCM20703, BCM43142
• Realtek: RTL87xx

Endpoint uses BlueZ stack to control Bluetooth. There is an example for using BlueZ in .NET, can be found here: https://github.com/SuessLabs/Linux.Bluetooth

Note

Hardware driver needs to be loaded, initialized, and paired before using BlueZ library.
Pair is requested from Endpoint only.

Example

Below is an example how to initialize and pair between Endpoint and another device with provided MAC_ADDRESS

const string MAC_ADDRESS = "80:07:94:46:57:B6"; // The mac address needed for ep connect to.

private static void Main()
{

    Bluetooth.Initialize();

    Console.WriteLine($"Mac Address : {Bluetooth.GetDeviceMacAddress()}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Name : {Bluetooth.GetDeviceName()}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Manufacturer : {Bluetooth.GetDeviceManufacturer()}");

    Bluetooth.Power(false);
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Bluetooth.Power(true);

    Bluetooth.OnScanEvent += Console.WriteLine;

    var knownDevices = Bluetooth.DevicePaired();

    if (knownDevices != null)
    {
        foreach (var device in knownDevices)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Known:" + device);
        }
    }

    Bluetooth.Unpair(MAC_ADDRESS); // unpair and scan to pair again

    if (Bluetooth.Scan(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 200), MAC_ADDRESS))
    {

        if (Bluetooth.Pair(MAC_ADDRESS))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Pair sucessfully"); 
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Pair failed");
        }

    }

    Thread.Sleep(-1);
}
