About the project

This package was written by Aleksandr Aleksandrov working at Emlid.

The bluetool was originally written for the Emlid Reach RTK receiver, but we decided to open source it, as there is no easy Python API for BT pairing/connecting. Feel free to add issues and submit pull requests.

Additional comments

This project was modified by rTomas for RGB-Pi use in Raspberry Pi removing all the unnecessary server and agent parts
