ABLE (http://adafru.it/ijB) (Cross Platform/Node+Electron)
ABLE (http://adafru.it/ijB) (Adafruit Bluefruit LE Desktop) is a cross-platform desktop application based on Sandeep Misty's noble
library (http://adafru.it/ijC) and the Electron (http://adafru.it/ijD) project from Github (used by Atom).
It runs on OS X, Windows 7+ and select flavours of Linux (Ubuntu tested locally). Windows 7 support is particularly interesting since Windows 7
has no native support for Bluetooth Low Energy but the noble library talks directly to supported Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongles (http://adafru.it/1327) to
emulate BLE on the system (though at this stage it's still in early BETA and drops the connection and takes more care to work with).
This app allows you to collect sensor data or perform many of the same functionality offered by the mobile Bluefruit LE Connect apps, but on the
desktop.
The app is still in BETA, but full source (http://adafru.it/ijE) is available in addition to the easy to use pre-compiled binaries (http://adafru.it/ijB).
Bluefruit LE Python Wrapper (http://adafru.it/fQF)
As a proof of concept, we've played around a bit with getting Python working with the native Bluetooth APIs on OS X and the latest version of
Bluez on certain Linux targets.
There are currently example sketches showing how to retreive BLE UART data as well as some basic details from the Device Information Service
(DIS).
