Can I use this radio to connect to other Bluetooth devices?
No. The idea is to use this radio “as a sensor”. All the API functions developed are thought to detect as many Bluetooth devices
as possible. In order to comunicate with other Bluetooth devices another module is available for the Waspmote platform. For
further information read the chapter “Bluetooth” about the Communication Bluetooth Module.
What about privacy?
The anonymous nature of this technique is due to the use of MAC addresses as identifiers. MAC addresses are not associated with
any specific user account or mobile phone number not even to any specific vehicle. Additionally, the “inquiry mode” (visibility)
can be turned off so people have always chosen if their device will or wont be detectable.

All information on their programming can be found in document: Bluetooth for device discovery

All the documentation is located in the

Note:
If you want to detect iPhone and Android devices using the WiFi interface as well as the Bluetooth radio go to the
