Connecting a Laser Distance Measurer (Bosch Disto GLM 50 C) with Smartphone (Android Studio)

问题


I got stuck at a special problem (I think). For a study project I have to make an Android application that can connect to a Laser Distance Measurer (Bosch GLM 50 C Distometer). So far I went through countless tutorials and hints here at Stackoverflow and other sources.

I'm new to Android and am sligthly overwhelmed. The task is to create an app, that reads the measured distance on the Bosch device and display/save it on the smartphone via Bluetooth.

Now my concrete question is: Is it possible to read the data (e.g. 2.083m) sent from the Bluetooth device? Any suggestions how to achieve that?

I'm able to establish a connection with the device, following this tutorial I found:

package com.test.bluetooth;

import java.io.DataInputStream;

public class Main_Activity extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener {

TextView measuredValue;
ArrayAdapter<String> listAdapter;

String tag = "debugging";
Handler mHandler = new Handler(){
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.i(tag, "in handler");
        super.handleMessage(msg);
        switch(msg.what){
        case SUCCESS_CONNECT:
            // DO something
            ConnectedThread connectedThread = new ConnectedThread((BluetoothSocket)msg.obj);
            // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "VERBUNDEN", 0).show();
            String s = "Verbindung erfolgreich";
            connectedThread.write(s.getBytes());
            Log.i(tag, "connected");
            break;
        case MESSAGE_READ:
            byte[] readBuf = (byte[])msg.obj;
            String string = new String(readBuf);
            // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), string, 0).show();
            break;

    }

    private class ConnectedThread extends Thread {
        private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
        private final InputStream mmInStream;
        private final OutputStream mmOutStream;

        public ConnectedThread(BluetoothSocket socket) {
            mmSocket = socket;
            InputStream tmpIn = null;
            OutputStream tmpOut = null;

            // Get the input and output streams, using temp objects because
            // member streams are final
            try {
                tmpIn = socket.getInputStream();
                tmpOut = socket.getOutputStream();
            } catch (IOException e) { }

            mmInStream = tmpIn;
            mmOutStream = tmpOut;

        }

        public void run() {
            byte[] buffer;  // buffer store for the stream
            int bytes; // bytes returned from read()

            // Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs
            while (true) {
                try {
                    // Read from the InputStream
                    buffer = new byte[1024];
                    bytes = mmInStream.read(buffer);
                    // Send the obtained bytes to the UI activity
                    mHandler.obtainMessage(MESSAGE_READ, bytes, -1, buffer)
                            .sendToTarget();

                } catch (IOException e) {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        /* Call this from the main activity to send data to the remote device */
        public void write(byte[] bytes) {
            try {
                mmOutStream.write(bytes);
            } catch (IOException e) { }
        }

        /* Call this from the main activity to shutdown the connection */
        public void cancel() {
            try {
                mmSocket.close();
            } catch (IOException e) { }
        }
    }

}

After that, I found this example, that should read the incoming data from the device, but it didn't work:

try {
        Log.d((String) this.getTitle(), "Closing Server Socket.....");
        mmServerSocket.close();``

        InputStream tmpIn = null;
        OutputStream tmpOut = null;

        // Get the BluetoothSocket input and output streams

        tmpIn = socket.getInputStream();
        tmpOut = socket.getOutputStream();

        DataInputStream mmInStream = new DataInputStream(tmpIn);
        DataOutputStream mmOutStream = new DataOutputStream(tmpOut);

        // here you can use the Input Stream to take the string from the client  whoever is connecting
        //similarly use the output stream to send the data to the client


        text.setText(mmInStream.toString());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //catch your exception here
    }

回答1:


The Bosch PLR 50 C (basically the cheaper version) uses the protocol known from the Bosch PLR 15. I could imagine the GLM 50 C also using it.

There is a post on EEVBlog.com that outlines the most important commands:

Example measure: send C04000EE --> reply 00 04 13 0E 00 00 32
Change endianness: 13 0E 00 00 --> 00 00 0E 13 distance in mm: 0x00000E13*0,05 = 180mm




回答2:


There is a reverse engineered protocol: pymtprotocol available at github page for Bosch GLM 100 C, which is a device from the same series, so hopefully it would work with GLM 50 C. Unfortunately it's Mac OS X only, I would like it was OS independant so I could try it on Ubuntu before trying to rewrite protocol for Android. I'm beginner at programming and whatever I tried I ended up in a blind alley. If someone could fork pymtprotocol and make it available for Linux or Android I would much appreciate it.

P.S. all credits go to Peter Iannucci.
