I want a Pi to see every device that's around. It doesn't need to be connected. It is enough to see the devices and get their MAC addresses.Are you planning a Pi per person, or expecting all the people's Bluetooth devices to connect to 1 Pi? Your question is not particularly clear. A host device can typically only support 7 connections.
I'll try to get MAC addresses from everyone somehow.And for those with a phone or are not prepared to give you their Mac address or do not turn on Bluetooth will you be doing something else?
Oh yes - do not forget about Apple kit that can randomly change its MAC address to stop tracking Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Hope its a school project - it's that time of year again...
Possibly hcitool will scan without connecting (this article is very light to say the least) https://lynxbee.com/using-hcitool-to-ge ... formation/ - I use Bleak in Python to scan BLE broadcasts but that's a totally different protocol and may not be what you want.
It's not good that it's changing randomly. Actually, it can be considered a bit of a school project. But not exactly.
A similar project has been done before. Actually, I just want to use the attendancy part. The project is: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/11/6/329 ... &version=1
Thanks for the hcitool.
