SBrick-Framework

This is a python based interface for control SBrick devices. What is the benefit when you use SBrick-Framework:

  • Get detailed information: UUID, service, characteristic, adc(voltage, temperature) information...
  • Control LEGO power functions concurrently:
    • Drive power functions
    • Stop power functions
  • Support multiple SBrick devices (not test yet)

A thread is created to handle a LEGO power function (a channel), and this means you can control LEGO power functions concurrently. The last drive function will overwrite the execution time of the related power function that is applied previously.

SBrick-Framework is implemented by BlueZ + SBrick protocol + libuv + MQTT protocol + mosquitto broker, and the code is tested by python 3.4 on Raspberry Pi 3(Raspbian Jessie).

User-Story

SBrick Protocol

SbrickAPI is based on SBrick protocol 17 (https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/11/slug/the-sbrick-ble-protocol)

Requirements

  • Python 3.4
  • BlueZ
  • bluepy
  • pyuv
  • paho-mqtt
  • mosquitto

BlueZ

BlueZ is a official Bluetooth protocol stack on Linux.
Useful commands for BlueZ:

$ hciconfig -a
$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
$ sudo hcitool lescan
$ bluetoothctl

Must make sure bluetooth control is active.

$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up

bluepy

bluepy is a Python module which provides an interface to Bluetooth LE on Linux.
Ref: https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy

$ pip3 install bluepy

pyuv

pyuv is a Python module which provides an interface to libuv.
Ref: https://github.com/saghul/pyuv

$ sudo pip3 install pyuv

paho-mqtt

paho-mqtt is a Python module which provides an interface to MQTT protocol.
Ref: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/paho-mqtt/1.2.3

$ sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt

mosquitto

mosquitto is an open source message broker thant implements MQTT protocol versions 3.1 and 3.1.1
Ref: https://mosquitto.org/

$ apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients
$ sudo systemctl status mosquitto
$ sudo systemctl start mosquitto
$ sudo systemctl enable mosquitto

Usage

Start SBrick daemon:

  1. Usage of sbrick_server.py
$ python3 sbrick_server.py -h
usage: sbrick_server.py [-h] (--connect | --scan) [--broker-ip BROKER_IP]
                        [--broker-port BROKER_PORT]
                        [--broker-user BROKER_USER]
                        [--broker-passwd BROKER_PASSWD]
                        [--sbrick-id SBRICK_ID [SBRICK_ID ...]]
                        [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --connect             Connect to SBrick
  --scan                Scan for getting SBrick information

--connect:
  --broker-ip BROKER_IP
                        MQTT broker ip address. Default is 127.0.0.1
  --broker-port BROKER_PORT
                        MQTT broker port. Default is 1883
  --broker-user BROKER_USER
                        MQTT broker username. Default is None
  --broker-passwd BROKER_PASSWD
                        MQTT broker password. Default is None
  --sbrick-id SBRICK_ID [SBRICK_ID ...]
                        list of SBrick MAC to connect to
  --log-level LOG_LEVEL
                        Log verbose level. Default is INFO. [DEBUG | INFO |
                        WARNING | ERROR | CRITICAL]
  1. Scan SBrick devices. You can get SBrick MAC in this step. (must run as root)
$ sudo python3 sbrick_server.py --scan
$ sudo hcitool lescan
  1. Start daemon server with connecting to a SBrick device. (must run as root)
$ sudo python3 sbrick_server.py --connect --broker-ip 127.0.0.1 --broker-port 1883 --log-level debug --sbrick-id 11:22:33:44:55:66
  1. You can also control multiple SBrick devices. The usage is below:
$ sudo python3 sbrick_server.py --connect ..... --sbrick-id <SBrick1 MAC> <SBrick2 MAC> <SBrick3 MAC>
