Here is a picture of the hardware I will use for logging Bluetooth data.

Bluedog is the name I am going to give to my Bluetooth traffic/stats project I aim to start soon. I have the hardware and software setup with my beagleboard. Ideally I want to setup a few of these at the University where I work and start logging some data in similar nature to http://www.bluetoothtracking.org/

I will post some pics of my hardware setup soon.

I have built btlogger for the beagleboard. The ipk is available:

http://zedstar.org/beagle/btlogger_0.2.2-r0_armv7a.ipk

It requires the sqlite db some where on the device. Download:

http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/313/btlog.db

run btlogger -v to see what it does and reference the db file with -d /location/of/file

TODO:

• I am going to modify the program to log more stats.
• I should also add the database to the ipk so it installs automatically

Continuing my theme of projects that suffer from issues of critical mass I have began work on fakesat. I was looking for something to do with my beagleboard so decided that using it for this project would be fun. I have ordered a 100 meter Bluetooth dongle so will see how well that really works. I am interested in low cost community driven alternatives to GPS especially ones that work well in urban environments.

I have updated btlogger to allow various command line options. The software should work on any Linux system with Bluetooth. There is a packaged version for Openmoko:

and a binary for the Nokia Tablet:

An empty database can be dowloaded from here:
