LoopdSDK 1.0.8

You want to add pod 'LoopdSDK', '~> 1.0' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'LoopdSDK', '~> 1.0'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try LoopdSDK

Description

The Loopd Beacon SDK provides apis to interact with the Loopd Beacons from Android/iOS devices, and includes ranging, connecting, and writing and reading data between Loopd Beacons.

Requirements

Version	Minimum iOS Target
1.x	iOS 8

Installation

LoopdSDK is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "LoopdSDK"

Usage

Clone the repo, and the example project in the Example directory.

LCBadgeManager

LCBadgeManager is a basic manager than helps the developer to control the Loopd Badge.

@interface ViewController () <LCBadgeManagerDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) LCBadgeManager *badgeManager;
@end

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.badgeManager = [LCBadgeManager new];
    self.badgeManager.delegate = self;
    [self.badgeManager startScan];
}

You can also give limitations to it.

// config
LCScanningConfig *scanningConfig = [LCScanningConfig new];
scanningConfig.RSSI = -50;
scanningConfig.isAllowDuplicatesKey = YES;

[self.badgeManager startScanWithConfig:scanningConfig];

Try to connect with the badge. When connected, you can execute commands to the badge.

#pragma mark - Badge Manager Delegate

- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didDiscoverBadge:(LCBadge *)badge {
    [self.badgeManager connectBadge:badge];
}

- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didConnectBadge:(LCBadge *)badge {
    // turn on red LED
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"0F"];
}

LCBadgeManagerDelegate

@protocol LCBadgeManagerDelegate <NSObject>
@optional
- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didDiscoverBadge:(LCBadge *)badge;

- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didFailToConnectBadge:(LCBadge *)badge error:(NSError *)error;
- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didDisconnectBadge:(LCBadge *)badge error:(NSError *)error;
- (void)badgeManager:(LCBadgeManager *)badgeManager didUpdateValueForBadge:(LCBadge *)badge;
@end

LCContactExchangeManager

LCContactExchangeManager is a manager that helps the developer implement contact exchange easily.

@interface ViewController () <LCContactExchangeManagerDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) LCContactExchangeManager *contactExchangeManager;
@end

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSString *badgeId = @"123abc";
    self.contactExchangeManager = [LCContactExchangeManager new];
    self.contactExchangeManager.delegate = self;
    [self.contactExchangeManager startScanningWithBadgeId:badgeId];
}

#pragma mark - Contact Exchange Manager Delegate

- (void)contactExchangeManager:(LCContactExchangeManager *)contactExchangeManager
    didUpdateExchangedBadgeIds:(NSArray *)exchangedBadgeIds
                   targetBadge:(LCBadge *)targetBadge {
    // targetBadge is the current badge
    // exchangedBadgeIds is the array of other user's badge id
}

LCContactExchangeManagerDelegate

@protocol LCContactExchangeManagerDelegate <NSObject>
@optional
- (void)contactExchangeManager:(LCContactExchangeManager *)contactExchangeManager
                didDetectBadge:(LCBadge *)badge;

- (void)contactExchangeManager:(LCContactExchangeManager *)contactExchangeManager
    didUpdateExchangedBadgeIds:(NSArray *)exchangedBadgeIds;

- (void)contactExchangeManager:(LCContactExchangeManager *)contactExchangeManager
    didUpdateExchangedBadgeIds:(NSArray *)exchangedBadgeIds
                   targetBadge:(LCBadge *)targetBadge;
@end

Commands

command	action
00	Switch off both LEDs
0F	Switch on red LED
F0	Switch on yellow LED
FF	Switch on both LEDs
11	Force the device to disconnect
A0xx	advertise xx times per second
100004	Change transmission power +4dBm
10FF04	Change transmission power -4dBm
12	Get the mac address Write 0x12 to the characteristic to get 12 byte MAC address (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)
The notification is 0x12AABBCCDDEEFF
14	Get the amount of free space left Write 0x14, and the notification it will return will be 0x144060. This translates to 0x6040 = 24640 bytes of memory is free.
20	Set the Local Name of the device Write 0x20 + 8 bytes (Hex conversion of the ASCII)
80	iBeacon mode 0x80+16 bytes of Data + 1byte Major ID + 1 byte Minor ID
90	Eddystone mode 0x90+1 byte Frame Type + PDU based on Frame type
89	Advertise iBeacon and Eddystone Alternatively

Example:

- (void)turnOnBothLEDs {
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"00"];
}

- (void)advertise4timesPerSecond {
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"A004"];
}

- (void)advertise8timesPerSecond {
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"A008"];
}

- (void)iBeaconExample {
    // 0x80+16 bytes of Data + 1byte Major ID + 1 byte Minor ID
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"80FFEEDDCCBBAA99887766554433221100ABCD"];
}

- (void)eddystoneExample {
    // 0x90+1 byte Frame Type + PDU based on Frame type
    [self.badgeManager executeCommandCode:@"9000CEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBB"];
}
