How to send BG (from AAPS) through bluetooth ? #3444

Hello. This is not a bug report but a help request. I am flying a paraglider and I would like to try to send my BG value to my flying computer. On the flying computer side (an android tablet), I can set it up to receive BG value through bluetooth and display them on the screen to be able to monitor my sugar level in flight. Is there a way, on AAPS, to send BG through bluetooth ? Or would you know another way to do that ? (I use Dexcom G6 as sensors with BYODA). Cheers, Akira

You could setup Xdrip to receive your G6 data (and then configure to broadcast data forward to AAPS), and then you could install Xdrip Follower on your "flying tablet", and configure it to send data to display data.

If I am playing game and my android switches to gaming mode, I get my sugar displayed every 5 minutes on screen (but this is probably not good enough for you). You could write small android app that would be displayed over all apps (at screen edge and it could be receiving data from Xdrip Follower). Easiest way to see your BG is to have watch that displays that data, again Xdrip supports wide variety of them (they have even their own watch) so that would be an easy setup.

AAPS by itself doesn't transmit data anywhere, except to your watch if you have it configured.

Without knowing more details of your current setup I can't give more detailed recommendations.

Hi. I am also a paraglider pilot and I have xDrip sending glucose values to my MiBand 7 and has been working perfectly. I had used G5 with xDrip. Now I am using Libre 2.
