In this first activity we will show you how you can craft a Bluetooth LE beacon using the Raspberry Pi.

Start by logging into your Raspberry Pi and then check that Bluez is installed:

sudo apt install bluez


We are going to use the Raspberry Pi to transmit an Eddystone beacon.

Lets look at the available commands:

hciconfig -h

Lets bring up the Bluetooth device on our Raspberry Pi using below command:

sudo hciconfig hci0 up

Then, lets set the Bluetooth interface to advertise but not be connectable:

sudo hciconfig hci0 leadv 3
