Programming and Development
The Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle can be used in various programming languages and development environments. Here are a few examples:
Example 1: Python on Windows
In this example, we will use the PyBluez library to connect to a Bluetooth device using the Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle.
```
import bluetooth
# Search for nearby Bluetooth devices
print("Scanning for devices...")
devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(lookup_names=True, duration=5)
# Select the first device found
device_addr = devices[0][0]
device_name = devices[0][1]
print("Connecting to device:", device_name)
# Create a socket and connect to the device
sock = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
sock.connect((device_addr, 1))
# Send a message to the device
sock.send("Hello from Python!")
# Receive a message from the device
msg = sock.recv(1024)
print("Received message:", msg)
# Close the socket
sock.close()
```
Example 2: C++ on Linux
In this example, we will use the BlueZ library to create a Bluetooth server that accepts incoming connections using the Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle.
```
#include <iostream>
#include <bluetooth/rfcomm.h>
int main() {
    // Create a Bluetooth socket
    int sock = socket(AF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_STREAM, BTPROTO_RFCOMM);
// Bind the socket to a local address
    struct sockaddr_rc loc_addr = { 0 };
    loc_addr.rc_family = AF_BLUETOOTH;
    loc_addr.rc_bdaddr = BDADDR_ANY;
    loc_addr.rc_channel = 1;
    bind(sock, (struct sockaddr )&loc_addr, sizeof(loc_addr));
// Listen for incoming connections
    listen(sock, 1);
std::cout << "Bluetooth server started. Waiting for incoming connections..." << std::endl;
// Accept an incoming connection
    struct sockaddr_rc rem_addr = { 0 };
    socklen_t opt = sizeof(rem_addr);
    int client_sock = accept(sock, (struct sockaddr )&rem_addr, &opt);
std::cout << "Connected to device: " << ba2str(&rem_addr.rc_bdaddr, NULL) << std::endl;
// Communicate with the connected device
    char msg[1024];
    read(client_sock, msg, 1024);
    std::cout << "Received message: " << msg << std::endl;
// Close the sockets
    close(client_sock);
    close(sock);
return 0;
}
```
