    Hi HN! I built Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay, a tool that lets Bluetooth devices (like keyboards and mice) connect to USB-only hosts using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Why? My friend needed a way to use his Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on a PC with Bluetooth disabled due to policy restrictions. This tool acts as a bridge, relaying Bluetooth input over USB. It also lets you use Bluetooth peripherals with older devices that only support USB input. Tech: Written in Go, optimized for Raspberry Pi Zero W. I love HN’s community and often lurk here—I’m hoping this project is useful or at least sparks…

    Hi, we’re Simon, Don and Dan, and we’re developing infrastructure for enabling Bluetooth devices that can communicate with your web backend (we’re calling it Blecon). Think your own AirTags network, but for sensors talking to your servers. We’ve got most of the underlying tech for the network infrastructure in place, and now have samples of a first manufacturer device that supports Blecon - a small rechargeable accelerometer tag. Not much live yet, but we put a summary of this first device and how it works in the link (plus you’ll find some early developer docs for the network infrastructure…

    OpenBLE is an API specification language and client generator for Bluetooth services built on the generic attribute (GATT) profile. Bluetooth development is a mess. Too many datasheets, too little documentation and SDK fragmentation across platforms. I built this tool to improve documentation, version control and development speed for BLE programs. Even though shunned by Apple and Mozilla, Web Bluetooth enjoys wide support and just works. It makes sense to build the frontend for OpenBLE using web Bluetooth. No SDK hell, no installations, wide support albeit experimental. I could ship the…
