This project is heavily inspired by this Python project. Since I am not a Python developer and can't get used to the language, and Python and all the dependencies for that project are quite heavy for a Pi, I decided to give a Go-port a try.
I use their csv format, so the output should be compatible between the code bases.
The code compiles (:+1:) and the runs stable. I haven't run it long enough to decide that the code is completely stable.
Earlier attempts resulted in the daemon locking up (probably trying to scan using the device, but hanging because BlueZ was still around and locking). I disabled BlueZ completely on my pi.
Last run I missed some data, probably because I set the scan duration too long. I'm now trying with short scans (10s). Which should result in fast retries.
I'm developing this for my Raspberry Pi Zero W running DietPi, connecting to my BS410 scale. You should need nothing after compiling this (don't compile this on the Pi!)
Copy config.example.toml to config.toml and change the parameters.
All dependencies are vendored in, so you should be able to just go build for
your local platform. The Makefile supports these platforms:
arm6 arm7 linux32 linux64
- Add more plugins
- Test it for a significant period
- Make some noise about it
