Re: rpi 3 plus

looks like the rpi3+ needs a new SSD image to run properly.. will post one in the next days

tested:
ibeacon
i2c sensors
onewire sensors
dht sensors
BLEconnect

Re: rpi 3 plus

If we use Ethernet wire and external USB Bluetooth adapter, is this OK?

Re: rpi 3 plus

Have not done detailed testing:
Only Ethernet + internal BLE
And serial bleconnect seems to work. But have not done any timing etc.

Re: rpi 3 plus

tested BLEconnect with 3 devices in parallel
with ethernet no extra BLE dongle
with ethernet and extra BLE dongle
with wifi and extra BLE dongle
with wifi no extra BLE dongle

all work fine -- no problems connecting ... ping over wifi :
- 5 GHz ~ 1.4 msec and 0 packet loss with and w/o extra BLE dongle
- 2.4Ghz ~1.5 msec and 0 packet loss with and w/o extra BLE dongle
looks like the same for 2 a,d 5 ghz

It looks very good now

Excellent - I wonder if the onboard WiFi driver now supports promisquous mode as that was something missing from the 3B?

Re: rpi 3 plus

Hi Karl,

One way would be to install the nmcli command line utility
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install network-manager
With this, you can scan for any wireless devices in the area (with signal strength) without them necessarily being on your WiFi network - a bit like what Fingbox does. Edit: Actually, I lie, it's Kismet that does this - https://gary-dalton.github.io/Raspberry ... ismet.html

Typical command:
Code: Select all
nmcli d wifi
:idea: Here's a guide, (you will need step 4) but there may be better ones: https://gary-dalton.github.io/Raspberry ... nmcli.html
