Executive Summary

SensorTag is a portable low-power module that uses Blueooth Low Energy (BLE, Bluetooth 4.0) and various sensors to communicate data to any BLE receiver. The purpose of this project is to build an application interacting with a beaglebone to track the SensorTag’s position and rotation in 3D. We'll start off from the previous work [TI SensorTag]. In the end, we expect to see it sending updates faster than once per second.

Packaging

  • Beaglebone Black
  • TI SensorTag SensorTag
  • Bluetooth CSR 4.0 dongle
Beagleboneblack
TI SensorTag

Installation Instructions

  • Retrieve the original python BLE scripts from this github repo [1].
  • Execute the sensortag.py script to determine if it executes properly (i.e. your linux distribution comes with pexpect); if not, retrieve pexpect online (I used v3.2)
  • Retrive the BLE Address of your sensorTag. Press the side button on your sensorTag so that it enters discovery mode.
  $hciconfig hci0 up
  $hciconfig
  hci0: ...
        UP RUNNING
        ...
  $hcitool lescan
  LE Scan ...

  ^^^ Is the BLE address of your sensorTag


User Instructions

Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo.

Theory of Operation

Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.

Work Breakdown

List the major tasks in your project and who did what.

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.

Future Work

Suggest addition things that could be done with this project.

Conclusions

Give some concluding thoughts about the project. Suggest some future additions that could make it even more interesting.
