The next Cambridge Python User Group meeting will be Tuesday 6th June 2017.
The meeting is at 7pm, ending around 9:30pm. The venue, as normal, is the
Raspberry Pi offices at 30 Station Road, CB1 2JH, Cambridge.
A hands on introduction to Bluetooth
After an introduction to Bluetooth, Barry Byford will lead a practical
programming session based on BlueZ (which is the official Bluetooth protocol
stack on Linux). BlueZ has an API (using the DBus software bus) for Python
which provides the context for our hands on challenge.
Barry has created a mock of DBus's GetManagedObjects() so tests can be run on
any operating system without real Bluetooth hardware.
The mock GetManagedObjects() method returns all the information the system
knows about Bluetooth devices within range.
The challenge will be to extract certain key information from the returned
nested dictionaries.
As this is a hands on session you should bring a laptop with Python 3 on it if
you can. If you can't, we will pair you up with someone that does.
Subsequent meetings will be:
• 4th July:Exploring Python ByteCode
• 1st August:Kubernetes with Python
Remember that we are now on meetup.com, at http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/. If
possible, please RSVP there for meetings so we have an idea of numbers. As an
incentive, there's normally more detail about each meeting there, and you can
also find out about future meetings.
