bluez

I am trying to create an RFCOMM server process with Python that can be used without the need for pairing. Initially, I grabbed the two example scripts from the PyBluez documentation: Server: # file: rfcomm-server.py # auth: Albert Huang <albert@csail.mit.edu> # desc: simple demonstration of a server application that uses RFCOMM sockets # # $Id: rfcomm-server.py 518 2007-08-10 07:20:07Z albert $ from bluetooth import * server_sock=BluetoothSocket( RFCOMM ) server_sock.bind(("",PORT_ANY)) server_sock.listen(1) port = server_sock.getsockname()[1] uuid = "94f39d29-7d6d-437d-973b-fba39e49d4ee"

Goal : Use BlueZ and an Bluetooth 4LE dongle to create a peripheral that advertises the bluetooth equivalent of "Hello World". Where I'm At : I've currently got the BlueZ stack setup and downloaded, I can use the hci tool to recognize and see the Bluetooth dongle. I've tinkered with hciconfig leadv but I'm just not quite getting it/understanding what's going on. What Help I Think I Need : I need to get it to the next step. If anyone can either point me towards a good resource, walk me through this, or anything, It would be much appreciated. If I need to do additional leg(search)work I can but

I'm trying to communicate with a BLE module through a Linux machine (the module is running a heart rate profile). So far, I've been able to do everything I need except listening for Notifications and indications (e.g. listening for the Heart Rate Measurement Notification). I'm using kernel version 3.5 and bluez-5.3. Succcessful commands used so far: hcitool lescan hcitool lecc gatttool -b <Mac Address> --primary gatttool -b <MAC Address> --characteristics gatttool -b <MAC Address> --char-read gatttool -b <MAC Address> --char-desc gatttool -b <MAC Address> --interactive Failed commands:
