Bluetooth
The WB50NBT uses smartBASIC to control the Bluetooth interface. smartBASIC is an event-driven programming
language designed to make Bluetooth development quicker and simpler. Users can write a smartBASIC
application to perform Bluetooth operations on the WB50NBT.
When the WB50NBT powers up, smartBASIC runs as a daemon process which is running a Serial Port Profile to
Wi-Fi bridging application named SPPBr.
In the command line, enter the command ps. The following smartBASIC process appears in the list:
smartSS -E 7 -d -a -c /usr/share/smartBASIC/apps/$autorun$.SPPBr
The WB50NBT comes preloaded with sample applications that can be found in the following directory:
/usr/share/smartBASIC/apps. The SPP-Wi-Fi bridging application in this directory is the same one that the
WB50NBT automatically runs on boot. This application forms a bridge in between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth SPP and
sends the data from one interface to another.
