Connect multiple clients to server #113

Closed manuelpt4940 closed 6 years ago

Good day.

I wonder if I can connect multiple bluetooth devices to BlueDot Server.

I want to connect my cellphone (I got it) to the Bluedot server in Pi, but I would like to connect simultaniously others bluetooth devices at the same server. Can you help me?

To connect multiple devices simultaneously you will need multiple Bluetooth adapters. i.e. the bluetooth on a Pi 3 plus a USB Bluetooth dongle.

There is a code example here https://github.com/martinohanlon/BlueDot/blob/master/examples/multiple_dots.py

This issue has been raised before https://github.com/martinohanlon/BlueDot/issues/63 in summary it's not possible to do it due to constraints with Bluez (linux Bluetooth driver) and Android with only 1 adapter.
