Adabox020 CircuitPython + Bluetooth examples?

Post by RufusVS2020 »

The quick version:

Is there sample code using Bluetooth with CircuitPython that runs on the LED Glasses Controller board?

The long version:

The Adabox020 glasses are fun, but not something I would use on
a regular basis. However, recently I got an inspiration to use
the glasses as an illuminator for a chromakey setup, replacing the
neopixel ring used in John Park's terrific presentation.

I've ordered the retroreflective material on ebay, and while I wait
for it, I've been modifying the glasses firmware. And would like to use
CircuitPython. So far I have modified sample code, and now can cycle
all the leds through the different colors with a tap with code based on
one of Adafruit example CircuitPython codes.

I'm currently working on controlling the color and brightness through
the serial port. That should be done shortly.

But what I'd really like to do is be able to control the LED's via
bluetooth. There is a downloadable arduino control that can display a
message on the glasses that can be changed via bluetooth with the
UART function of bluetooth. But that's an Arduino build, not CircuitPython.

I can't find information on using Bluetooth with the UART function in
CircuitPython. Has anyone else done this, and is there sample code
somewhere in github or elsewhere? That'd be a huge help.

Maybe https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-nrf52840. It's written with the nRF52840 in mind, but it works on the glasses controller. Mind you, the LED control doesn't but the bluetooth communication does.
