An open source Bluetooth controller application for mobile devices.

The Bacon Project

An open source Bluetooth controller application for mobile devices.

Development 🛠️

This app is built using react-native, make sure to have it setup to get started. Currently only Android is supported.

This uses react-native-ble-manager internally to handle BLE connection.

Note: Support for iOS would come after polishing essential features of the App. However, testers/contributors are still welcome.

Contributing 🤔

Help Sushi - Personal Finance improve, please create an issue for bugs or feature request.

Pull requests are welcome as well.

Supported BLE Devices ⚙️

• Should work on majority of Bluetooth (BLE) modules and devices
• Tested working on Arduino BLE modules Ex. AT-09, MLT-BT05, HM-10
• Tested working on ESP32 modules with BLE support

bacon's Issues

Clarify project purpose

It would be worth clarifying the purpose of the project in the readme and adding examples of use cases.

I came across this project looking for something to turn my phone into a xinput controller that I could use over bluetooth or usb with windows and linux devices.

As far as I can tell, this app cannot do that, as it only acts as an input device for hardware BLE devices and arduinos, and cannot connect to computers. Is this accurate?

[FR] sort devices by signal strength when scanning

otherwise it's hard to find the one among many.
Also scan is quite fast, should be a little longer (or tunable)

Cannot set Characteristic per Control Element

As the title says: From my point of view it doesn't make much sense to select the characteristic for all elements in a controller, so please make this settable per element. Otherwise this seems to be the only app of this kind that I found which actually supports the typical BLE concepts (GATT, ...), so keep it up!

Can you make a receiver app? Have it compatible with automate?

Or have it control the other device.

Having no idea about the usage/target users of this App

What Bluetooth profile is this controller based on? What type of command makes sense? Please add more descriptions in your App.

I was trying to find an App that sends certain byte sequences to the Bluetooth-Serial converter which replaces the air conditioner’s Wifi module. I‘m new to Java and Android programming and don’t know about React Native. It seems like I have to to create an App myself.
