Been playing playing with some NodeJS to build Eddystone beacons after watching this:
And having a poke round here
I had earlier been looking at BLE and NodeJS to build BLE devices that can have their state updated via MQTT
I’ve written 2 new nodes, the first will listen for any Eddystone beacons in the area and publish the details about the beacon.
The second creates a Eddystone beacon and broadcasts a given URL, it can also update the URL with the msg.payload value.
The code is here* and it can be installed from npmjs with:
npm install node-red-node-physical-web
* this will be moved to the node-red-nodes repo shortly
Hi,
I tried this beacons, but didn’t works (with raspberry and Bluetooth 4.0 dongle)
Can you post a working example, with parameters?
I received : Error setting beacon URL
I spend lot of time with this problem, but I interesting for this topic very much.
I do not know what I’m doing wrong. I would like to create a working eddystone beacon for testing.
Best regards,
Dany
Yeah there are 2 things wrong at the moment
