Loop for scanning for beacons #23

Closed Ashwin-MJ closed 3 years ago

Ashwin-MJ commented 3 years ago

Goal

Ideally we want a loop running in a separate thread, which enters various states. This could be something like:

Scanning - currently looking for beacons (continue loop)
Beacon Detected - Beacon is detected (halt loop and retrieve location code and distance etc)
Beacon No Longer Detected - Beacon out of range (restart loop -> Scanning)

Plan

Use BLE libraries to identify when beacon is in range
Figure out how to use a separate thread/process for "Scanning" state
