Apple ANCS with CC2540 (3)

1.The UUID is in reverse order. 

#define APPLE_NOTIFICATION_SERV_UUID_128N        {0x79,0x05,0xf4,0x31,0xb5,0xce,0x4e,0x99,0xa4,0x0f,0x4b,0x1e,0x12,0x2d,0x00,0xd0}

This is the Normal one

#define APPLE_NOTIFICATION_SERV_UUID_128R        {0xd0,0x00,0x2d,0x12,0x1e,0x4b,0x0f,0xa4,0x99,0x4e,0xce,0xb5,0x31,0xf4,0x05,0x79}

This is the Reverse one

 

2.Now I can find 3 Charateristic , next step is to learn how to use the Notification .

 

3.nRF51822 got sample code for ancs. Maybe I should switch side. ....

 

 

nRF51822 Test (3)

Test new nRF51822 breakout board and new J-Link downloder.

iBeacons for 不動產

在欲售的房屋前 裝上iBeacon 當有人經過時會跳出該屋的介紹和聯絡電話 !

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (4)

Add Support of

ATM as iBeacon ? For What ?

如果每一台ATM都是iBeacon 可以做什麼呢？

1.告知手機調出帳號密碼？

2.告知手機該轉賬/匯款的金額？

3.告知手機直接Show出賬戶餘額？

4.告知手機最新的投資訊息？

 5.One Click 網路購物 馬上印出繳費單 7/11 繳費

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (3)

Test iBeacon's iOS Native Location Manager's Events. When App run in background LocationManager will send event about iBeacon Enter or Leave. The problem of this method is you can monitor only 20 locations and the response time is slow. When I turn on the beacon it show Enter in 20~30 seconds. When I turn off beacon it show Leave also in 20~30 seconds. I think there is no way to change this.

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (2)

Source code at Github

1.Add iBeaconState to monitor the status of iBeacon.

2.Add iBeaconAction to define action that depends on the status of iBeacon and BeacobID

iBeaconState : Enter/Leave/In/Out 

ToDo:Add another class to warp the beacon related operation.

ToDo:Local Notofication and Backgroud iBeacon Ranging

iBeacon Scanner on iOS (1)

Source code at Github

I seperate the iBeacon scanner as a stand alone class.

The setup screen's operation is not ready. I use fixed UUID.

ToDo: A state machine to monitor each beacon's enter/leave/stay time status.

CC2541 SI4703 Radio Control

1.I change the CC254x board to use 18650 Battery

2.Add Si-4703 FM Radio board control.via I2C

3.We can use iOS to select Channel , not so excited :(

4.Source code https://github.com/tzechienchu/CC254X

ToDo: Start iOS Side Programming. 

iBeacon + RTC

1.Change Broadcasting period in different time. Save Battery and improve resposive.

2.Change UUID in different Day as promotion.

3.Random change UUID in different Day as Saving Coupon.

CC2541 I2C IO Expander PCF8574

This one is simple.

iBeacons Used To Deliver Location-Based Access To iOS Newsstand Publications

真是好主意！！當你在書報攤旁時 你的iPAD可以閱讀完整的電子雜誌 離開就只剩下限制的功能！

CC254x BLE UART (3)

I think, I can make every profile now. hahahaha.

This version is limit to send 16byte of data each time. No buffer control of the data from RX port.

ToDo:iBeacon Router via Raspberry Pi or full function iBeacon.

ToDo:OAD and myabe USB or I2C on CC254x

If you are interest in the source code, email me.

 

 

CC254x BLE UART (2)

Start from scratch, learn to play the simple peripheral profile. Add more byte to send out and more byte to read in. The I can put the data to UART. 

BLE Infrared Sensor as Traveler's Guard

使用紅外線感應器加上BLE 讓iPhone當你在旅行時的保鏢

CC254x BLE UART Bridge using Biscuit (via RedBear Lab) (1)

Try to port the RedBear Lab's CC2540 UART Bridge. But unsuccess. Using 1.2.1 Lib, the Serial Port unable to read data from UART. And using 1.3.x Lib, the board just keep boot up again and again. Still no cue about what happen. I think I have to move to study the simple profile and add up my own UART stuff.

I need to learn how to make my own profile .

CC254x BLE Broadcasting Ticks

 I like BLE's Broadcaster, it is simple. And simple is good. You can broadcast Temperature, Battery Level,Time,Humidity and ......

Most of the time, we just need Broadcaster. Not full feature BLE server.

Because of simple Broadcaster, we can build simple Observer.

ToDo:OAD or UART to BLE Bridge

CC2540 BLE Advertising Data Monitor (1)

I know I can use TI's packet sniffer to catch the data. But I think it is much fun to build a tool that can get the advertising data. This time I need the key to act as "Scan" "Up/Down" .

And it is  also a very good ble study.

ToDo:Add Key Control

iBeacon on Cruises

遊輪很大 因此可以用iBeacon來作為旅客在遊輪上的電子導遊

CC2540 as iBeacon Observer (5)

Source Code:

Download BLE-CC254x-1.3.2-simpleBLECentral_Keyfob.rar

Attention:

1.This project use different hal_lcd driver. If you use TI's SDK board, remember to use TI's original library.

2.My beacon's uuid is 0x5AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF you can change the UUID in the code. 

3.I remove all Key operation. Eveything is done perioidcaly.

4.Command to set UUID

set 1st 8 word   UUID,01,5AFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

set 2nd 8 word UUID,02,FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

store 16 word uuid UUID,03

clear 16 word uuid UUID,00

ToDo: Study Broadcaster. (Like broadcasting Temperature .....)

CC2540 as iBeacon Observer (4)

Finally got UART right. I use UART to send/receive data.

ToDo:Change UUID from UART port.

CC2540 as iBeacon Observer (3)

Periodic Scan iBeacon and Show on LCD (6 seconds scan cycle)

ToDo: Set UUID through UART and output Beacon to UART.

CC2540 as iBeacon Observer (2)

Show RSSI and Minor Number !

ToDo : Setup UUID to monitor 

or Move to use RPi as iBeacon Router.

CC2540 as iBeacon Observer (1)

CC2540 scan the BLE Device and display the UUID (I think)

Next step is to access the UUID/Major/Minor Number of the iBeacon.

iBeacon for all Road Crossing

在十字路口裝設iBeacon這樣盲人就可以知道目前路口的紅綠燈情形

iBeacon for Patrol

在大樓個個樓層的特定位置 或是工廠的需要巡邏的地方裝上iBeacon 當警衛有巡邏經過那的地方時 巡邏警衛的iPhone 就會記錄時間和iBeacon的id 可以作為巡邏記錄 (Easy to deploy)

也可以倒過來做 每一位巡邏身上有一個iBeacon 然後特定的區域有一個 iBeacon的Logger 可以Log 誰經過了那些地方 然後再Upload to Server. (More cost effective and easy to extend)

iBeacon Router

如果用使用iBeacon在室內定位移動的人物 就需要iBeacon Router 就是專門收iBeacon 資料然後放到Server上的機器

iBeacon in Hospital

如果iBeacon的頻寬可以在醫院使用的話

1.iBeacon可以用來標示地點 因為醫院實在容易迷路

2.iBeacon可以用來標是患者是不是在現場 

iBeacon for Taxi Identification

假設每一台計程車都有裝iBeacon 當乘客上車APP就會根據iBeacon的ID 由Cloud找到計程車的資料 Log下來你的上車時間與地點 with 計程車的資料

當然也可以當成一種安全標章 有iBeacon代表有認證有資料的 攔車時也可以馬上知道沒有iBeacon就不上去了

iBeacon(BLE) for Restaurant Wait List

在台灣一些熱門的餐廳都有排隊等候的情形 基本上就是人工登記 人工叫號 其實使用iBeacon 就可以不必大叫 因為你知道客人在哪邊 因為Beacon 無法收訊號 因此如果是用BLE的形式 就可以通知Beacon的持有者可以進入餐廳了 當然啦還是不能走太遠 

其實也可以單單使用iPhone 將iPhone變成一個Beacon就可以了

iBeacon as CoolCard Stand

記得很久以前有一種廣告叫做"酷卡" 不知道現在還有沒有 反正就是一個柱子上面放了很多明信片大小的廣告 有些設計的很不錯 有些就只是照片沒啥意思 總之就是把酷卡虛擬化 特定的地點特定的時間 你經過那邊並且你裝了酷卡APP 你就會收到限量的設計數位酷卡 幹嘛呢 當然還是廣告 哈哈啊

iBeacon for Wall/Stand/Board Shopping

我們有Window Shopping,有Web Shopping 我來推一個Wall Shopping. 什麼意思呢？就是在牆上貼上你要廣告的東西加上iBeacon 之後呢 有裝WallShopping App 的人經過那片廣告牆/看板/公車亭時 就會跳出來教你購買的頁面 你馬上就可以購買 或許頁面上還有價格的變化與購買的人數之類的 總之走到哪買到哪！

iBeacon on Bus

在每一台公車上裝置 iBeacon 使用者可以設定哪一台公車 或是會到某一個地點的公車到站時 會通知用戶

iBeacon as Name Tag & Bag Tag

We can use iBeacon as name tag , so when group leader need to call people gather together he can use iPad or iPhone to tell who is nearby.

When travel in group, the guide will have to count people and bags every time. If we put a iBeacon for every people and bags, then in no time we can know what is missing.

by the way,

iBeacon as Dog tag is not bad. Maybe Cat tag. Since cat like to wondering around.

Multiple iBeacon Test

ToDo

1.Sort by UUID,Major,Minor number

2.Sort by Distance

3.User select Track iBeacon

4.Notification

iBeacon Distance Change Emulation

Where is my iBeacon, I don't know.

Oh, it is far , at least i know something.

It is near, it is inside the double box.

It is just beside my ipod touch.

I put iBeacon inside a box and inside another box. Because of the metal , the radio wave strength will reduce and I can emulation of the distance change.

iBeacon is subset of BLE

iBeacon 其實只是BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)的一種應用 比較起來iBeacon 只是一個Beacon只會發射資料 無需接收資料 因此種覺得比較不好玩

對了 為何這麼多iBeacon post, 因為最近都在想iBeacon的可能應用模式

iBeacon for Robot Positioning

室內基本上不容易定位 因此iBeacon提供了一個不錯的定位方法 讓Robot比較容易的可以在室內活動

iBeacon for Meet up

你也可以把自己的iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad 變成一個iBeacon. 這樣在約會時可以比較容易找到對方 或是面交時不會找錯人（哈哈）

iBeacon for Used Car Sales

iBeacon 是一個小型的RF發射源 基本上會送出他是誰與發射的功率 因此接收可以判斷距離與知道它是誰或是說在哪邊 可以用來標示地點 物件等

因此我覺得用來標示中古汽車銷售是個不錯的東西 一家中古車商會有好幾百台的車再賣 沒有人會記得每一台車的資料 因此使用iBeacon 加上iPAD 上的資料 就可以讓買家清楚的知道車子的其他資料 其實如果是脫售 更可以及時的讓你跟賣家直接的出價（一種沒用的想法）
