ubertooth-bt-tracker

Track Bluetooth devices and their proximity to a GPS location.

This script is written in Python 3 and is used to track Bluetooth devices and their proximity to a GPS location. The script uses the gps3 and subprocess libraries to access GPS location and Bluetooth scanning tools, respectively.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3
• gps3 library
• ubertooth-scan tool
• ubertooth one
• gpsd
• gps dongle

Usage:

• Connect the GPS device to the system.
• Connect Ubertooth One to the system.
• Enable bluetooth and gpsd services.
• Run the script using the command:

sudo python3 ubertooth-bt-tracker.py

-The script will start scanning for Bluetooth devices nearby.

• If a Bluetooth device with signal strength below a threshold (65 in this case) is detected, the GPS location will be obtained and logged into a file along with Bluetooth device details and a note entered by the user.
• To stop the script, press CTRL + C.

Note:

• The script requires sudo privileges to run the ubertooth-scan tool.
• The logged data is stored in a text file named in the format mylogfile_.txt where timestamp is the current time in the format yymmdd_hhmmss.
• The script will prompt the user to enter a note each time a Bluetooth device is detected, before logging the data.
• If the script is terminated before logging the data, the script will automatically reset the ubertooth device using ubertooth-util -r.
