BLE Serial: Binding Bluetooth 4.0 modules to virtual serial ports | Jake’s Blog

The Bluetooth 4+ (low energy) to UART modules are getting increasingly popular, but there was still no proper tool to use them with normal Linux e.g. desktop or RaspberryPi, like rfcomm bind on the old 2.0 bluetooth. So I finally wrote BLE Serial and this post is a introduction. I will go over the installation, usage and slightly into to differences from the newer Bluetooth protocol.

Is this mandatory to follow requirements to install custom "bluepy" package described on this article? I do not see that "bluepy" is used on current sources.

Bluepy is not needed anymore since version 2.x. That why I put update message at the top, single command pip install ble-serial is enough, installs all dependencies automatically :)
