This python code usually works (but not always). Need to pip install bluepy.

import bluepy

scanner = bluepy.btle.Scanner()
found = scanner.scan(timeout=5)
for dev in found:
print(dev.addr, dev.addrType, dev.rssi)

SOME_MAC = 'ff:ff:c9:27:9f:01'
periph = bluepy.btle.Peripheral(SOME_MAC)
for service in periph.getServices():
print('service %s %s' % (service.uuid,service))
chars = service.getCharacteristics()
for chrc in chars:
print(chrc.getHandle(), chrc.uuid, chrc.propertiesToString())
if chrc.supportsRead():
print(" read: %s" % chrc.read())

Oops, indenting got mangled.

Hi Alan,

Did you ever get this to work. I am in exactly the same situation.

Hi,

What kind of device are you trying to connect to? This sounds more like a question you should direct to a Ubuntu/bluez forum rather than Nordic.

You can also have a look at this documentation, related to our IoT libraries.

Best regards,
Jørgen
