Bluetooth dongle limitations

[ekaggrat]

why is the current version limited to the dongle mentioned? Have you tried any of the modern bluetooth built in modules in the recent laptops?

thanks

The limitation comes from the lack of Python BLE libraries on Windows. On Linux/Mac it works with many different BLE adapters.

Today, there is a chance that new Bleak library would work with variety of dongles. Feel free to try it yourself.

thanks for your reply. I will try it on 3 machines to see which works.. So on a linux/mac machine any dongle would work or is there a bare minimum version needed?

Sorry, I don't know that. I did not test all the possible dongles. I just know that for multiple people it did work.
