We need #openhardware with #bluetooth so we can link them it to #MyGNUHealth.
Currently we have @pine64eu smartwatch, but we'd love to integrate scales, glucometers, blood pressure monitors...
Just reply to this toot or send us a message if you know of any device. We'd love to test them!🤗 #GNU#GNUHealth#pinephone#PineTime
[demande de conseils projet informatique : application téléphone + communication bluetooth]
Hello !
Je cherche des conseils en informatique/protocoles bluetooth ~
Voici mon petit projet :
J'ai un fauteuil roulant manuel avec un moteur qui peut m'aider en me propulsant. Ce moteur est contrôlé par une télécommande Bluetooth.
J'aimerais bien réussir à contrôler le moteur via mon téléphone. L'objectif final serait de faire une boucle d'asservissement pour avoir une vitesse fixe et ne pas ralentir subitement quand j'entame une côte.
C'est l'occasion de découvrir la manipulation du bluetooth au passage, ça doit certainement être intéressant :o
La question est donc : avez-vous des ressources pour comprendre comment ça fonctionne concrètement, et surtout comment réussir à analyser les données transférées entre la commande et le moteur ?
Est-ce qu'une librairie type react-native-ble-plx permettrait de coder la dite application, ou pas du tout et je dois utiliser un autre langage pour la partie bluetooth ?
Je dois être nulle en recherche Google mais je trouve peu d'informations là-dessus.
I requested my employer to purchase an APH Mantis for me (bluetooth keyboard with refreshable Braille). They are balking at the bluetooth because of security. It seems to me if they were really so concerned with bluetooth as a security risk, they wouldn’t have provided everyone in my office with laptops that have bluetooth but whatever.I know the Mantis can be purchased in government mode (bluetooth and wifi disabled by manufacturer) but I’m not interested in that because I have a specific use case for the bluetooth connectivity and connecting by USB drastically limits the usefulness of the device. Really all I want to know from you IT security peeps is what is the real security risk with bluetooth? I’m intending to argue I should be allowed to use bluetooth as a reasonable accomodation but I’d like to understand the security concern better. Please explain it to me like I’m 5. #Security#Blind#Bluetooth#ExplainItToMeLikeIm5
BLUFFS: Neue Angriffe gefährden Bluetooth-Datensicherheit auf Milliarden Geräten
Durch eine Lücke im Bluetooth-Protokoll können Angreifer einfach zu knackende Schlüssel erzwingen und so vergangene wie zukünftige Datenübertragung knacken.
The tiny 400mAh #LithiumPolymer#battery in this cheap #Bluetooth#speaker turned into a puffed up pillow. I've replaced it with a 350mAh one I salvaged from a single-use disposable #vape device. In spite of the lower capacity, it is significantly larger than the original battery. Hope it can still fit in the available space.
Also fitted a JST connector to the speaker wires in case I need to disassemble again for a future #repair.
In case NOBODY NOTICED, I absolutely hate anything #bluetooth, on principle as an erstwhile infosec professional, and speakers in particular as someone who can discern more than three notes and two beats.

Saw these on MyLifeInGaming last night and it looks like a cool open hardware project so I thought I'd post it here....
