Bringing Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding & Environment Sensing to an Open, Hackable Platform

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on that moves past the limitations of traditional BLE tracking. It’s called findMe, and it’s an open-source development kit for the new Bluetooth 6.0 standard.

The Concept: Unlike standard BLE which relies on shaky signal strength (RSSI), we are using Channel Sounding to measure actual distance and direction. In a Hub/Tag pair, the Hub always knows exactly where the Tag is located in 3D space.

More than just a Tracker: We realized that location is only half the story, so we packed the Tag with a full sensor suite to provide context:

  • Distance + Direction (Sub-meter accuracy)
  • Environment: Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure.
  • Movement: 6-axis IMU for motion and orientation/attitude in space.
  • Light: Integrated ambient light sensing.

Why we’re going Open Source: Since precise phase-based ranging is a brand-new field, there aren't many established use cases yet. We want to change that by providing an entirely open and hackable platform. Whether you want to build smart logistics, interactive art, or industrial safety systems, you shouldn't have to start from scratch or deal with proprietary silos.

We’re currently refining the antenna layouts and finalizing the firmware. We’ll be hosting the project on Crowd Supply and making all schematics/files available on GitHub.

I’d love to hear from you: What kind of "spatial" applications would you build if you had easy access to sub-meter distance + direction data?

Is there any Bluetooth keyboard, that would allow to stay connected to 2 devices simultaneously, to fit my very specific needs?

I want to be able to to transmit the key presses to two separate hosts simultaneously. Is there any keyboard or middle-way product that would allow something like this?

I’ve spent years working on BLE/OTA tooling on iOS and finally decided to turn a lot of that internal tooling into a public app.

Built a Bluetooth BLE scanner + device finder app for iPhone after years of working on BLE SDKs

So I built:
NovyBLEPlatform

Current features:
• BLE device scanning
• Signal strength monitoring (RSSI)
• Nearby device detection
• Device details/services
• Real-time updates
• Bluetooth diagnostics utilities

The goal is to keep improving it into a useful Bluetooth toolkit for:

  • developers
  • IoT testing
  • BLE debugging
  • finding nearby devices
  • AirPods/watch utilities later

Would genuinely love feedback from people who work with BLE regularly because iOS Bluetooth behavior can get pretty wild sometimes 😅

Headphones won’t connect to my phone but will with every other device i own.

(I didn’t know what tag to put the under) As the title says, I’ve had these headphones for about 6 months and have never had any problems up until a few days ago. Randomly my headphones just stopped connecting to my phone and will only connect with my laptop/other devices. My AirPods still connect to my phone but the headphones won’t.

Edit: The headphones are from Rydohi

Big Sky tin Bluetooth speaker

Using this tin box, a Bluetooth module, two speakers from old Bluetooth earbuds and a vape battery, I managed to make this novelty stereo speaker, and it charges through a usb C port.
It’s not a hifi system, but it’s a conversation piece.

Bluetooth extender

Hi, looking for a simple solution to a simple problem. Googled around, found nothing.

Basically, my earbuds lose connection to my tv when I go to the bathroom, or go into my kitchen.

I want something I can plug into my TV that fixes this. Only need about 2 meters longer range, and through a wooden wall.

Don't want a "smart home hub" or "esp32 data packet extenders" or whatever I read about on Google.

Does this product even exist or am I fucked?

Thank you

[DEV] I built Blue Duel, an offline Bluetooth arcade with 8 classic board games you can play with the person next to you anywhere without Wi-Fi or internet

https://preview.redd.it/dexe2b0xuf1h1.png?width=771&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec7724213317881ac984bda0ade79e8ca11830b7

Have you ever been on a flight, a road trip, or out camping and wanted to play a game with the person sitting next to you, but neither of you had Wi-Fi or cell service?

I built Blue Duel to solve exactly that. It’s a collection of 8 classic board games designed specifically for local, head-to-head multiplayer using Bluetooth. You just open the app on two phones, pair them instantly, and start playing.

The Games:

  • Chess
  • Checkers
  • Connect 4
  • Battleship
  • Gomoku
  • Liar's Dice
  • Tic Tac Toe
  • Rock Paper Scissors

Why I made it: I wanted a truly offline, family-friendly experience. There are no accounts to create, no strangers, and no internet required. It works perfectly in airplane mode (as long as Bluetooth is on). Also, if your friend happens to have an Android phone, the iOS app can pair seamlessly with them over Bluetooth too!

Monetization: I want to be transparent about this with the community: Every game costs a small handful of free tickets that refill every day. If you run out, you can watch an opt-in ad to get more. If you hate ads and tickets, there is a one-time Lifetime Pass (currently at launch pricing) that unlocks unlimited play forever. No subscriptions.

Links:

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially on the Bluetooth pairing experience or if there are any other classic games you'd love to see added to the collection. Thanks for checking it out!

Can't pair wireless controllers via bluetooth on windows 10 laptop

Hi there,

So recently i came upon an annoying problem. I was playing It Takes Two with two wireless controllers connected to my laptop. One of them was from Marvo with a ps4/5 layout and the other one was a Gamesir Nova Lite with a Xbox layout.

Everything worked fine, i played via ds4 and they worked great. A few days ago I bought another Gamesir controller, identical to the other one i had (just a different color).

I connected it to bluetooth but i couldn't manage to connect them both (but they were both in the devices list in the bluetooth options). So i decided to clear out, to "remove devices" from bluetooth list (including my marvo one), in order to do a clear connection for these 2, the Gamesir ones.

Now, I can't connect to either one of them anymore, my bluetooth doesn't recognize them when I'm trying to pair them, to "add a bluetooth device".

I tried everything, updated the drivers, restarted the whole bluetooth thing, restarted the controllers, it just won't show up on the list.

What is there to do? I'm desperate 🤔

Can’t get anything to connect to Bluetooth on new MSI PC (windows)

I just got a MSI MPG Infinite x3 ai 2NVV7-643EU, running windows, and I can’t get my headphones(tried two different pairs) or controllers to connect.
I’ve tried reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers, that didn’t fix it.
I’ve made sure to restart and make sure my Bluetooth support service is set to automatic.
I really don’t know what else to do. Sorry if this is a dumb question with an easy answer.

Anyone Able To Get A Google Smart Spkr To Connect With A Bluetooth Transmitter?

Just trying to listen to my turntable in my Google Smart Speaker.

  1. I can connect my iphone to the speaker.
  2. Speaker won’t see my 1Mii transmitter but the transmitter connects successfully to my bluetooth headphones
  3. Speaker won’t see my Manayo PM5-BT bluetooth preamp but if I switch my 1Mii to Receive (RX) I can connect the preamp to the 1Mii device.

With both bluetooth transmitters, they never even appear to the speaker.

Earbuds connecting to a WiFi home door lock, that I did not pair.

So I have had an issue that has been driving me crazy for weeks. I listen to audiobooks while I tend to my garden and for the last several weeks every time I come and go from the house I hear "connected" or "disconnected" as I pass in and it f the house, briefly interrupting the audiobook that I'm listening too. I made sure no other devices were connected to my earbuds and it's been super annoying so I sat down to try to figure out what the buds could be connecting to.

Almost immediately after typing in the question I start hearing a repetitive whirring noise, and I pause my book and go looking for the source of the noise. It's coming from a fairly inexpensive house door lock with a fingerprint reader that I have charged but not installed yet, because it never really worked properly, so it's still sitting in its box on the table. Not wanting to deal with it immediately I leave the lock to its whirring noises and go back to reading about what my earbuds may be connecting to.

Someone recommended putting the earbuds in a microwave to possibly reset any connections, so I do that, and immediately the whirring noises from the lock stop.

Does anyone have any ideas about wtf is happening?

PLS HELP: Disturbances when using wifi with bluetooth earphones, started outta nowhere. (happens on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz)

Recently i started having choppy audio on my laptop, while using bluetooth earphones. I did drop it, not as bad since it's a 2 in 1 laptop + tablet and it simply tipped over from its stand (i had placed it like a monitor, keyboard flipped backside) and it just tap dropped on my keyboard, barely any distance. also i recently shifted in a new room and started using a bluetooth mouse with a usb receiver. (still not sure if it was the drop or the mouse, since both happened around the same time)

started getting disturbances on 5Ghz wifi, was told that was due to AMD using a combined chip for wifi and bluetooth? due to wifi bursts as im in a different room? no idea. then i switched to 2.4Ghz wifi and for a couple of days it seemed to work fine, but today disturbances crept in, i was scared.

Then i had a golden moment and removed my mouse's bluetooth usb thingy, seemed to have fixed it, but 5 mins in, same disturbance.

i've basically done everything chatGPT told me to, reinstall drivers, heck i even reinstalled windows. switched to the old room right in front of the wifi router too. still there. seems to be only a wifi + bluetooth issue, as using my earphones and playing an offline file doesnt give me any disturbance at all.

I also followed some random guy's advice from 2y ago from this sub, who apparently had the same issue, he mentioned installing "Alternative A2DP Driver" and using it, did, the issue still exists.
