node-bluetooth-hci-socket's Introduction

node-bluetooth-hci-socket

Bluetooth HCI socket binding for Node.js

NOTE: Currently only supports Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

Prerequisites

node-gyp requirements

NOTE: node-gyp is only required if the npm cannot find binary for your OS version otherwise the binaries are prebuilt.

Linux

Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

Note: the node-usb dependency might fail install, this is ok, because it is an optional optional dependency. Installing libudev-dev via your Linux distribution's package manager will resolve the problem.

Windows

This library needs raw USB access to a Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter, as it needs to bypass the Windows Bluetooth stack.

A WinUSB driver is required, use Zadig tool to replace the driver for your adapter.

WARNING: This will make the adapter unavailable in Windows Bluetooth settings! To roll back to the original driver go to: Device Manager -> Open Device -> Update Driver

Install

npm install bluetooth-hci-socket

Usage

var BluetoothHciSocket = require('bluetooth-hci-socket');

Actions

Create

var bluetoothHciSocket = new BluetoothHciSocket();

Set Filter

var filter = new Buffer(14);

// ...

bluetoothHciSocket.setFilter(filter);

Note: setFilter is not required if bindRaw is used.

Bind

Raw Channel

bluetoothHciSocket.bindRaw([deviceId]); // optional deviceId (integer)

User Channel

bluetoothHciSocket.bindUser([deviceId]); // optional deviceId (integer)

Requires the device to be in the powered down state (sudo hciconfig hciX down).

Control Channel

bluetoothHciSocket.bindControl();

Is Device Up

Query the device state.

var isDevUp = bluetoothHciSocket.isDevUp(); // returns: true or false

Note: must be called after bindRaw.

Start/stop

Start or stop event handling:

bluetoothHciSocket.start();

// ...

bluetoothHciSocket.stop();

Note: must be called after bindRaw or bindControl.

Write

var data = new Buffer(/* ... */);

// ...


bluetoothHciSocket.write(data);

Note: must be called after bindRaw or bindControl.

Events

Data

bluetoothHciSocket.on('data', function(data) {
  // data is a Buffer

  // ...
});

Error

bluetoothHciSocket.on('error', function(error) {
  // error is a Error

  // ...
});

Examples

See examples folder for code examples.

Platform Notes

Linux

Force Raw USB mode

Unload btusb kernel module:

sudo rmmod btusb

Set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_FORCE_USB environment variable:

sudo BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_FORCE_USB=1 node <file>.js

FreeBSD

Disable automatic loading of the default Bluetooth stack by putting no-ubt.conf into /usr/local/etc/devd/no-ubt.conf and restarting devd (sudo service devd restart).

Unload ng_ubt kernel module if already loaded:

sudo kldunload ng_ubt

OS X

Disable CSR USB Driver

node-bluetooth-hci-socket's Issues

Add support for Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) PID 07DA

@sandeepmistry we @OpenBCI have integrated your noble and were wondering what is the process for adding different devices to this repo?

The VID is the same as the other Intel chip supported 0x8087 however the PID is a bit different of 0x07DA (the supported one is 0x07DC)

I tried adding the PID and VID to the whitelist in usb.js but was not successful in getting it to work. Getting a LIBUSB_NOT_SUPPORTED error when trying to run the scan example

Also note that i did try overwriting and forcing the default values as recommended but that did not work either.

Installation failure in OpenWRT->ramips->mt7628, MIPS arch

I want to install bluetooth-hci-socket on my openwrt device which is mips and the chipset is mt7628 from MTK, but the log of installation is here, failed.

Bluetooth dongle not detected

I'm running Noble in an Electron app but sometimes the dongle we're using is not detected and so onStateChanged is not triggered.

After digging into the code we found that BluetoothHciSocket.prototype.isDevUp returns false even if the device is plugged in.
https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/blob/master/lib/usb.js#L68

We're using a BCM20702A0 dongle with PID 21E8 and VID 0A5C which should be supported.

Is there any way to recover from this? or force detection of the dongle again?

Instructions for adding new usb dongles

Was wondering if there is a set of instructions for how to add a dongle to this module.

Extending USB Driver Compatibilty

Wanted to know that what does this code snippet represent inside https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/blob/master/lib/usb.js:
``
this._usbDevice.open();

this._usbDeviceInterface = this._usbDevice.interfaces[0];

this._aclDataOutEndpoint = this._usbDeviceInterface.endpoint(0x02);

this._hciEventEndpoint = this._usbDeviceInterface.endpoint(0x81);
this._aclDataInEndpoint = this._usbDeviceInterface.endpoint(0x82);

this._usbDeviceInterface.claim();
};
``
I want to make your library compatible with this Device
Marvell AVASTAR Wireless Composite Device driver
: USB VID 1286
PID :204C

Can we change some of the parameters in the above snippet, so that the binding is successful.

On windows 10 restart the serial bus driver needs re-install

Write without response on multiple devices

Hi,
I am using noble to connect to multiple devices.
There are cases where I want to do writes without responses on multiple devices.
I get libusb errors when I transfer to more than 3 elements.
Which parameters do I need to tune if I am to support simultaneous writes for bulk transfers across multiple devices - say 4 in the minimum.
In the libusb documentation, I see there are different transport types - control, bulk, isochronous etc but the hci library uses only the control transfers. Do we need any tweaks to the HCI protocol if we were to do bulk data transfer on multiple devices or is it simply not possible with the available USB devices.

Node-red issue

Hi,
I've been trying to download and install this node for a while now.
When it comes to running node-red the package is ackowledged but never loads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Following issue 233 from Noble : compatibility with Intel adapter

Following issue noble/noble#233

After having read some part of the linux BT drivers, it seems obvious that the Intel adapters work a bit differently from other one. To have them work they ;

Put the adapter in "developer mode" to get the firmware
Patch the firmware and reinject it
Reset the adapter (it seems to be a special command to reset as well).

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c

I'm gonna try to reproduce the same thing adapting your work on this repo (and thx to the "usb" thing in node.js) but I'm afraid it's a bit beyond my field so help would be welcome :)

Anyway, I guess Intel adapters represent a decent chunk of the market and everyone will be happy to use them :) !

Keep you posted.

Compiling for MIPS architecture.

Good evening, I am attempting to use this library within a small embedded system. I am getting an error with the binding.node file found in the path "bluetooth-hci-socket/build/Release/binding.node", oddly enough however, on your repository here I do not see the build folder. This is part of a larger npm install of the node rolling spider library. The error I am getting is that it says the binding.node file stated in the above path "is not an ELF executable for MIPS". Sorry for putting this as an issue but I wasn't sure of another way to contact you. Any chance you know how I can compile this to work on a MIPS based architecture?

Thank you!

Installation issue

Hello,

I'm not sure if I have installed correctly node-bluetooth-hci-socket as some warnings pop up. I've visualized the following when I installed it:

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks

Add support for BCM20702

Is it possible to add support for the BCM20702 chip as found in this dongle and the ASUS BT-400 ? It works with Noble on Linux and the Mac but on Windows it won't. Since it can support up to 14 simultaneous connections it would be very nice to have this adapter supported on Windows as wel..

Kind regards!

using userBind cause error on setFilter

Not sure if it's a bug or not having proper configuration, I tried to change le-scan-test.js to use bluetoothHciSocket.bindUser() and when run it I get [Error: File descriptor in bad state]. It's happens when code sets in bluetoothHciSocket.setFilter. BTW beside that error, looks like scanning works

this the change:

Why not support OSX darwin?

I see write document support OSX, but when installed, does not support?

node-bluetooth-hci-socket not support macOS?

I see not support macOS Darwin?

I know the USB support is optional, but it probably shouldn't fail like this. Seems to be related to nan

Hi,
I am unable to install your package on Raspberry Pi 3. Here is the error:

2731 error [email protected] install: node-gyp rebuild
2731 error Exit status 1
2732 error Failed at the [email protected] install script.
2732 error This is most likely a problem with the bluetooth-hci-socket package,
2732 error not with npm itself.
2732 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:

2732 error You can get their info via:
2732 error npm owner ls bluetooth-hci-socket
2732 error There is likely additional logging output above.

Is this expected to work on OS X?

I noticed:

NOTE: Currently only supports Linux and Windows.

but also at the end of the page there are some notes about disabling the Bluetooth kexts on OS X.

So is this expected to work on OS X?

This returns -1 for me (after disabling all Bluetooth kexts):

socket(31, SOCK_RAW, 1);

I also tried 36 instead of 31, same deal.

Issue with macOS

I see OSX was mentioned in the read me, but it does not seem to be compatible on my machine (macOS Sierra). Is there any way I can get this to work with my machine?

HRM disconection after 1 minute in Windows 8 machine

Hi @sandeepmistry

Thank you for your hard work, you have come a long way.

I started using noble and noble-device with Windows 8.1 just recently and discovered a problem when interacting with a hear rate monitor using the same example in the noble-devices repo. After 1 minute, or 60 measurements, the device gets disconnected by itself.

I already tried the same example on a Linux machine and the problem does not happen in Linux. I tried with two different ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) dongles, but the result is the same.

Using the NODE=* tag, I managed to see that the last hci interaction before disconnecting is always the same in the windows machine (of course this is never experimented in the Linux Machine),

called hci   event type = 4 +0ms
  hci   sub event type = 5 +1ms
  hci           handle = 70 +0ms
  hci           reason = 59 +0ms

Some data received before looks like this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Windows with Node.js 4.x is broken

Currently windows support is broken on Node.js 4.x until node-usb fixes node-usb/node-usb#89.

List hci devices

Hey, do you think we can expose the deviceList function?

I will look into creating a pull request, but only if you are interested 😅

[Windows 8] StateChange incidentally not registered

Hi @sandeepmistry

I finally had time to dig a bit deeper into the issue I described here: noble/noble#353. Turnes out is was not just an Electron issue, because the error still appears on Window 8. Windows 10 does not seem to cause any problems at this moment. I will describe the problem below:

Problem

Incidentally after starting Noble the StateChange is either not registered or not called, because the program just waits and noble.state is unknown or poweredOff. Scanning therefore does not start and the program is not usable. No error is thrown so the bluetooth dongle I'm using is recognized, because starting the program without the dongle immediately throws the 'No compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found'.

Analysis

The problem appears more often then not, meaning that when starting the test program is usually does not work, but something it will register the StateChange and start scanning.
If I start the program with DEBUG enabled:

set DEBUG=*
node test.js

the problem never appears! It seems like setting debug causes an extra reset somewhere that makes the adapter respond again. Unfortunately because setting DEBUG seems to fix the problem I cannot log debug output for the actual problem... However, I think that I see a different output when the adapter is reset. See the difference between these the logs:

Seems to work directly

Related?

I have found a few related problems:
#13 (I am hoever not exiting the app in any strange way)

noble/noble#233 and #3 (closed due to lack of activity)
noble/noble#176 (My state is not unsupported and this was before Noble and node-bluetooth-hci-socket were separated)

System

I am running Window 8.1 Pro 64-bit. The dongle I'm using is the ASUS-BT400 (BCM20702) chipset. This is the test.js script that I'm running:

var noble = require('noble');
console.log("Starting Noble Test");
noble.on('stateChange', function(state) {
    if(state === 'poweredOn') {
        console.log('We can start scanning');
    } else {
        console.log('Stopped scanning');
});
setInterval(function(){ 
    console.log(noble.state, ' (current state)');
}, 2000);
console.log("Still alive"); //this was added later and does not appear in the first two logs

I recall that you don't have a Windows 8 machine available, if it's needed for further debugging I can provide a VM for you :) Thanks in advance for thanking a look and I'm sorry about the wall of text ;)

Interfacing two bluetooth modules with the rpi

I am trying to interface two bluetooth modules with the rpi. One would act as a peripheral and the other would be detected as an ibeacon. But it is just behaving as a peripheral and I not able to detect the second module

discoverAllServicesAndCharacteristics stopped working with raw USB mode at version 0.4.3

I cannot discover services and characteristics while using the raw USB mode anymore. It worked (and still works) with version 0.4.2 though. These are the adapters I've tested this with (separately):

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0

Turning on bluetooth after installing WinUSB

Hi,
I installed the WINUSB driver for my Intel Wireless Bluetooth 7260 bluetooth hardware. However, I'm not able to enable or disable bluetooth with the WINUSB driver. The default apps to enable bluetooth do not work anymore. Running a bluetooth code using this just hangs

set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_VID=0x050d
set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_PID=0x065a

node <file>.js

I'm running on Windows 8.1

I installed all prerequisites for noble package, and this package is its dependency. I can't install this package and the usb adapter is working fine with hcitool.

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260

I'm trying to make this work with my laptop which has a Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 chipset. Should I just give up as I see this is not one of the compatible devices or is there something I could try?

It looks like you may have allowed for some bending of the "rules" with this:
Example for USB device id: 050d:065a:

set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_VID=0x050d
set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_PID=0x065a

node .js

If I were to replace the Example with:

set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_VID=0x8087
set BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_PID=0x0a2a

node forceFit.js
perhaps it would work..

Support for multiple usb adapters in raw USB mode (with same VID and PID)?

Hi,

I'm using noble with multiple adapters to communicate with more than 5 BLE devices at the same time. For this I'm using the raw mode, since it is much more stable than with bluez. To differentiate the adapters, I'm using USB dongles with different VID/PIDs and BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_VID and BLUETOOTH_HCI_SOCKET_USB_PID set to according values.

This works well, but it is limited to knowing the exact VID/PIDs. It would be much nicer to enumerate the adapters with a simple number (like in noble with the NOBLE_HCI_DEVICE_ID environment variable). This would also allow to use multiple adapters with same VID and PID. It would be helpful to enumerate valid values for this number, to enable a program to discover all available BLE adapters easily and use them.

Thanks,
Norman

Raspberry Pi 3 UART BT LE Reconnects not working...

Any idea why there would be a problem with the built in BT chip on the Raspberry Pi 3? I am able to do an initial BT LE Pairing and have an encrypted connection setup correctly. However, after I break the connection and reconnect, the connection will not stay up. Judging by the HCIDump, the encryption is reestablished fine and some initial data packets are able to go back and forth correctly, however after about 2 seconds of being idle the connection drops.

I have it working fine on the same raspberry Pi using a BroadComm USB Dongle. The RPI 3 bluetooth is also a BroadComm chip connected over UART. The only obvious difference I can see is that the internal Bluetooth is v4.1 and the USB Dongle is v4.0.

From HCIDump it looks like it is the Pi initiating the disconnect:

rename node-pre-gyp module_name

Right now the module_name for node-pre-gyp is "binding"
However if you want to provide your own custom hosted binaries, it depends on "module_name". Thus "module_name" should be something like "bluetooth-hci-socket"

That would be awesome!

Bluetooth 4.2 support?

With the new Raspberry PI Model B+ which now using an adapter version of 4.2. I been having issues with the bluetooth 4.2 version.

Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

Hi,

the following exception is thrown if a bluetooth dongle is taken off during write.
The problem is that when calling the function usb.Device.controlTransfer in BluetoothHciSocket.write no callback is given.

The simplest fix for this issue would be to add an empty function as callback:

this._usbDevice.controlTransfer(usb.LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_CLASS | usb.LIBUSB_RECIPIENT_INTERFACE, 0, 0, 0, data.slice(1), function() {});

Current NPM release is missing some device IDs

As mentioned in this issue: noble/noble#670

Looks like some new device IDs have been added since v0.5.1, but they haven't been released to NPM and so aren't available to the noble package.

Is it possible to release a new version so these devices don't cause an error?

On Linux use D-Bus GATT APIs

Lets please not alienate the Linux upstream, we do have a very complete set of APIs for BLE including GATT, which is build with a LGPL C library and D-Bus APIs so you don't need to rewrite everything from scratch. It is actually in use in Chrome OS as well so I wonder how much code can be shared.

error C2373: '_pfnDliNotifyHook2'

I want to create a BLE server using bleno, which needs node-bluetooth-hci-socket, but while I'm trying to install the module, it gives me the following error: "error C2373: '_pfnDliNotifyHook2'" (see the image below)

How can I fix this error?

the debug.log gives me this:

Support for mac

Are you planning to support Mac as well in the future? OS X el capital currently doesn't support more than 6 connected devices maybe using this lib can resolve that issue?

bluetooth-hci-socket can't find my bluetooth device

i wrote some program using ble, but it only not working in my new laptop.

i wonder that this library can't connect to BLE 4.1 device?
