🪟 Windows

Uses SimpleWifi and InTheHand.BlueToothLE.

To execute, simply run CameraExperiments.exe.

🐧 Linux (Experimental)

Uses scripts / system commands in place of SimpleWifi and InTheHand.BlueToothLE.

To run, you may need to start NetworkManager first.

sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

Wifi requires nmcli, Bluetooth requires hcitool and gatttool.

You will need to add execute permissions on the two script files, and the main executable.

chmod +x Scripts/BluetoothLinux.sh
chmod +x Scripts/WifiLinux.sh

chmod +x CameraExperiments

Then to execute, run:

sudo ./CameraExperiments
