I packaged up the tarball into a debian package:

After installing run btlogger –help


Bluetooth logging to Twitter with btlogger

Posted: March 6th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: thumbtribes | Tags: , , | 5 Comments »

I decided to hack my Bluetooth logger so that it could post any new devices it saw to my Twitter account. This should be interesting once I get it setup on my desk at work! After moving to Intrepid Ibex I realised the changes in BlueZ versions borked my software. It took me a while to figure out what needed to be fixed. Anyway, these changes and Twitter hack are available as a tarball here:

zedstar.org/tarballs/btlogger-0.3.2.tar.gz

The tarball should install an sqlite db file in /var/lib/misc but you can move it else where if you don’t want to run as root. If you supply a username and password on the command line it will try and post the scan results to Twitter like:

To see the command line options run btlogger –help
