This module provides higher-level BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) functionality, building on the native _bleio module.
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Warning: Linux support is very limited. See Adafruit Blinka _bleio for details.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bleTo install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bleTo install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-blefrom adafruit_ble import BLERadio
radio = BLERadio()
print("scanning")
found = set()
for entry in radio.start_scan(timeout=60, minimum_rssi=-80):
addr = entry.address
if addr not in found:
print(entry)
found.add(addr)
print("scan done")API documentation for this library can be found on Read the Docs.
