This Deliverable was met with the inclusion of sprint1 standalone demo application Beacon_Monitor which at the time of writing this is a zip file due to its standalone nature.
Please Note:
The app uses the Android Beacon Library instead of using the Android Bluetooth API for the ABL is more specialized for workign with proximity sensors. like smaller UUID packets which is useful for a protocol like Bluetooth LE where data transmission rates are small
Instead of the App demoing how to read rssi values, The app demos proximity beacon Monitoring which we shall be using to determine the approximate location of the user. proximity beacon Ranging protocol is more what I originally set out to do with the RSSI values with some semblance of distance, however, through resources and my own experience, the reliability and accuracy of ranging was shaky and did not offer benefits over monitoring for our application
