About this app

Bluetooth SPP, TCP, USB and HTTP data acquisition and device communication

GetBlue provides automated data acquisition and manual device communication for Bluetooth SPP devices, serial USB devices, TCP/IP, HTTP and camera barcode-scanners. This app collects data automatically in the background and forwards them to adjustable target devices, files, online spreadsheets or even into 3rd party applications. Bi-directional device communication is supported, manual communication functions for reading and writing data are available as well.

DETAILS

The data acquisition app GetBlue can be operated like a cross-switch: it captures data from an adjustable data source and forwards it to any supported target. The following devices and protocols are currently available:

◾ Bluetooth SPP and Bluetooth RFCOMM

All serial Bluetooth devices supporting the Serial Port Profile (like SPP or RFCOMM barcode scanners) can be used. GetBlue supports Bluetooth client and Bluetooth server mode, thus device as well as PC connections are possible.

◾ Serial USB

May not work on some Androids. FTDI and Prolific chipsets are supported.

◾ TCP/IP Socket

Any device providing a raw TCP/IP socket.

◾ HTTP

HTTP GET and HTTP POST requests with adjustable parameters.

◾ Camera scanners

Any external camera scanner app can be used.

◾ Manual data input

Device commands can be entered manually

Captured data can be forwarded via Bluetooth, USB, TCP/IP and HTTP to any target device. In addition the collected data can be

◾ displayed (HEX or ASCII)

◾ stored locally in a file (including time-stamps)

◾ uploaded to a Google Docs Spreadsheet

◾ or injected into arbitrary apps on the smartphone via the GetBlue soft-keyboard (keyboard wedge operation).

APPLICATION SCENARIOS

GetBlue is used as keyboard wedge (scanning barcodes with a Bluetooth scanner and injecting the bar code data into arbitrary apps), as automated data logger (e.g. uploading captured data to a Google Docs spreadsheet or storing it into a local file), for controlling Bluetooth devices, as low-cost barcode scanner connected to a PC, etc.
