Gimbal beacon discovery

Question

Is it possible to discover Gimbal beacons using the iOS SDK? I want to use simple ranging but I don\'t know the UUID of the transmitter.

Answer 1

To use iOS, you will need to know the UUID. There are some other options that do not require knowledge of the UUID.

1. If you have an Android device w/ 4.3 or later and support for BT4.0, you can use the free Locate application at the following link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radiusnetworks.locate

2. If you have a Mac w 10.9 or higher and support for BT4.0, you can use the ScanBeacon app ($9.99) available on the Mac App Store or at this link. http://www.radiusnetworks.com/scanbeacon-app.html

Good luck, and make sure you report back your findings to rest of the community!

Full Disclosure: My colleagues just firmly reminded me that I'm misbehaving by not noting that I work for Radius Networks, who provides the tools listed above, and am the developer of the second tool listed, ScanBeacon.
